I hate sitting on the porch trying to relax and some jackass blasts by with a noise that rattles the windows. No need for that!

And they keep coming, guys and gals, guys, gals, guys and guys, gals and gals, solo or in pairs keep passing. Big motorcycles, little motorcycles, quiet motorcycles, loud motorcycles, three wheeled motorcycles (!) Custom motorcycles. Expensive motorcycles, old motorcycles held together with wire, new motorcycles resplendent in their debut. Red motorcycles, white motorcycles, motorcycles of every color under the rainbow roar past, tooting the horns and waving at anything that moves, or sometimes doesn't. I saw some riders waving to an empty pickup truck on the side of a road).

Life is good.

I've seen lots of folks heading north to Laconia this week.

Bikers are the most freedom loving people I know. They do not like big government. They are very patriotic. They will go out of their way to help for a good cause. I can't think of anything I like doing better than riding my Harley with that kind of folks.

One of the coolest ways to give to charity on a motorcycle can be had at Reg Pridmore's CLASS riding school (and I think at his son, Jason Pridmore's STAR school, as well). For a donation (I believe it was $25.00) to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, you get on a bike with Reg or Jason, and go for a few laps around the track. Now mind you, you're already at the track, on your own bike. But Reg is a former AMA Champion (as is Jason, although he's out right now, recovering from a ruptured spleen suffererd at a recent race crash). And you go around the track FAST! I mean REALLY FAST!

Frankly I didn't have the nerve to try it, but it looks like a series E-Ticket ride! I know that at Heartland Park, on the straight, I had been clocked at 125MPH, and that was as fast as I cared to go... Reg and a passenger passed me as if I was standing still!

It's bike week in Laconia...

Of course, it is raining every day.

[longtermmemmory]

This person has never riden.

it is 1%ers not 10%. (reflecting the number in the more legally colorful clubs)

Two men on the same harley only happens in San Franceeeeesco.

But they do seem to understand that mortorcycle runs raise ALOT of money for charity.
