I've been down there the last few days and the place is nice! Kate wants to practise riding on saturday so were loading the 2fiddy in the back of the truck, the yaks and fishing poles and make a day of it.
We fished off the pier sunday and cought a nice drum. Today we put our kayaks in just south of the pier and headed out a mile or so, then south 3 miles. We watched 20-30 dolphins swim by us, 3 pods of stingrays (15-20 in each) and some jellies. I got back and was going to throw the line in but a couple of guys told me the only thing cought from 10 am to 3pm was a shark. No fish bitin!
Saturday is going to be a BLAST!

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat
Well, Hope & I made it over the Mississippi river last night. WE are in route to Louisville Kentucky and beyond! We'll hopefully make VB sometime tommorrow... I've burned the incense and appeased the anima of the motorcycle this morning along with the other mundane maintenance tasks and now we're heading out! See you all soon! Michael, check your paypal!

So........... the back seat of the civic has the pots for crabs. I am talking with the local fisherman to try and get fresh catch. This may backfire on me.... but worst case, we send Luke out by the pier and have him catch them by hand....

I'd heard that about him, all I know is it's better to have lobsters on your piano...
Hope and I made it to Charleston WV tonight, we should be in VB tomorrow afternoon, breaking speed limits all along the way (hopefully not getting caught again...seriously glad that guy didn't see us a few miles before...)
Man, my butt is getting saddle sores! lol

Be careful in VA!!! Its a BAD state to speed in, especially with out of state license plates.
My personal rules (and I have a clean record)
1) If riding in traffic above the speed limit, keep lane changes to a minimum.
2) If you find yourself all alone stay <10 over the speed limit.
3) If someone flies by... its not personal. Use the opportunity to kick up your speed a little while they sniff out the cops, don't try to catch them or prove your faster. Keep plenty of distance tho as it is often for two cops to sit together.
And remember, it is their job to catch you and your job not to get caught!
Don't get pissed when the cop is better at this game than you.

Randy..... Thick gloves..... Crabs are ordered and may be pissed off.
I ordered 'non pissed off' ones.... but they seem to be scarce.
LOL

Depending on how long everyone wants to ride, there's a good chance I could bring the FZ1 out. It won't be till after 12-1pm though but regardless, would really enjoy being able to ride with everyone.
Nobody ever seems to be doing any riding around here anymore So I haven't taken the FZ1 out much other then just general riding here and there.
I organized one ride earlier this year and took Jer out on the dirt bikes once too...Never here from anyone if they are riding or not

It was very last minute.....
The got in around 8pm... we went straight to dinner when they got here and then off to the hotel. What time are you off work.... I can forward yuo Declan's # if you want to get a hold of him.
Also, Hope needs to get to a Can Am dealer.... I do not know where one is and forgot to look it up till just now.
