Once we found Hwy 17, it was easy enough to lead the group around New Bern to Harley Davidson. We pulled in to See Greg and Tracey up front working the Demo Tent. Everyone did a little looking at the Vendors and 3 of us were able to get in Demo Rides. Bob got to Ride the Ultra, Gywen jumped on the Dyna and I got some time on the Sportster.
We then headed over to Morgan's Tavern where our table was waiting. It was definitely time to soak in some AC, Good Food and great company. everyone seemed to enjoy the food even if a little bit pricey. Greg, Pam and I had to sample some of the awesome deserts. Pam and I shared the Cheesecake while Greg had some Key Lime pie.
Greg had a great idea to take Brices Creek Rd back to 17 S. Of cource I missed the turn and had to perform a group U-Turn that everyone excecuted perfectly. I must say, the Agility Ride is paying off. After riding the curves of Brices Creek Rd we continued to the Exxon on the South side of Jacksonville for last Comfort stop and said our good byes. And wouldn't you know it, a few miles down the rode, we past a lone Safety Cone in the road waiting to grab me but I was able to slip by unharmed.
I know Pam and I had a blast on the Ride today and weather was great!
Special Thanks goes out to Brian and Connie Brown for doing an excellent job Tail Gunning. to Bob and Nancy Haradon for stepping up as backup GPS. to Greg and Tracey Harris for helping out New Bern Harley Davidson and joining us for the return Ride. Finally, to Gwynn Romano for handling all the last second changes without a Radio.
