2007 Rally on the River!
Speaking for myself, the one and only Motorcycle Web Chik, I had a ball at the 2007 Rally on the River at Green's Canoe Rental this past weekend. Hey, I got to continue to drool over the 2007 Hyosung GV250 in Silver and Black that I don't even know how to ride but would love to take home. I'm surprised Slam still has it. Y'think maybe it's just waiting for me to stop hesitating and snap it up?
I was lucky enough to be the bass player for the band, Memphis Smith, which also includes my hubby, Rick, on lead guitar and our buddy, Charlie, who really knows how to get some cool sound of of his 1937 National res-o-phonic (I think I spelled that right). If you don't know what a res-o-phonic is, Charlie'd be happy to tell you all about it. Thanks again, Skip, for providing me a lamp on Friday night so I could see where my fingers were going. Unlike my sweetie and Charles, I've only been playing bass for a short time and haven't developed the "feel" of those notes yet. I still have to look at the fretboard to make sure I'm making the right note!
Friday night found our band of motorcycle enthusiasts gathered under and around the awning that housed the beer kegs. Imagine that....! Needless to say, they were an appreciative audience and we all had a blast. We got there after the burgers and hot dogs had already been devoured and had to stop at McDonald's on the way home. Slam made some crack about "the contract" when we came straggling up in the dark to set up our stuff but I'm pretty confident that we fulfilled our musical obligations before the weekend was over.
We did make it in time Saturday evening to watch Greg Land, El Presidente, hand out some hard earned "trophies" to various attendees. My hat's definitely off to the young feller of 85 who came out for the festivities. Once a motorcycle enthusiast, always a motorcycle enthusiast!
The fireworks show on Saturday night was AWESOME! Rick and I agreed that what we saw was probably the best fireworks display we'd ever seen before. I got some pretty cool photos, too, and I'll be posting them on the website soon (and sending some to you, too, Skip!)
Enough from me. Let's hear from the REAL motorcycles riders, guys AND gals, who made it out for the Rally this past weekend. Personally, I can't wait for next year!
