Actually, if you look at the background of this pic, the woman in the lime green top was positively disgusted by us, me in particular. She saw me aiming the cam at my buddy and she almost popped a muscle turning her head away from the camera.

Edit: my buddy insited I take his picture at that particular table as Anthony Bourdain sat there with Bill Murray on one of Bourdain's No Reservations episodes. Bourdain rules.
Priceless picture!!! LMAO!

It has been raining now stop for two weeks here.Sunday it wasnt raining in the morning but looked pretty nasty.By the time we fueled it was misting and sprinkling and off we went toward the lightest colored sky.I was riding with 5 baggers all dressed for the weather and there radios blaring(lol).We found a diner/bar with a 52 Panhead in the front window we had never been to before.Dont find to many five star resturants in thsi area.(lol)We got 120 miles in and got a little damp but well worth it.It hasnt hardly stopped raining since.One note of interest.I was asked by a fellow rider what the point of my exhaust was.(lol)I didnt know what to say and just smiled.

What a completely condescending question! A**hole. You should have told him that the point of your exhaust was to "expel gasses from my two-cylinder internal combustion engine. Any other questions, Richard?"
