Delmarva Bike Week 2008

[repair-man]

Hey Guys,

Anyone headed down to the shore for Delmarva Bike week? It's mostly Harleys, but I've seen a lot of metrics and everyone seems to get a long nicely.

We're staying in North Ocean City and I've been riding with the M109R guys because of the lack of the M50s.

Kyle wanted to go, so the evening before I decided to take Kyle.....called school and told them he would be out Friday.
Mark arrived around 9:15am Friday morning....After resting his ass, we topped off his tank with some gas I had in the garage and hauled ass. We went down Rt 213 and made a left on Rt 309, then onto Rt 404. Our first stop was in Seaford Delaware on Rt 13. It's a Harley Davidson dealer, so the place was packed. That's the first picture. We walked around and I spent $40.00 on two T-shirts, one for me and one for Kyle. We checked out all the vendors and motorcycle trinklets.....mostly skulls and %%%%..

They had a lot of cool looking bikes, but the best was yet to come. The ride down so far was fine. We kept seeing this one vendor advertising hot coffee and apple crisp......Hmmm? dayum......So we bought three of them for $6.00 each.....Hot apple crisp with ice cream & caramel and a cup of hot coffee!!!

After about an hour we left and continued heading south on Rt 13 into Salisbury to Winter Place Park. The last picture shows all the bikers, they were leaving and coming in. This place was HUGE and had a %%%%load of vendors.......Show bikes, pit beef, chrome exhaust, dyno testing....you name it, they had it.

Mark and I each bought a handle bar bag to put small things in like glasses and such....I paid $14.00 for mine, but when we walked back to the bikes, they wouldn't fit. So the three of us walked back to get our money back. The guy gave me $25.00 back for mine....so I made $14.50!!! Whoo Hoo!!! I can afford lunch.!!

We left Salisbury and headed east on RT 50 towards Ocean City, we were planning on stopping at the Oasis Bar and Grill to see the girls in bikinis wrestle in chocolate pudding...but couldn't find the place.....besides that didn't start until 4:30.....So we headed up Rt 1 (Ocean Highway) with all the other bikers......and it was LOUD.....no wonder Harley's get such poor mileage.....all they due is rev their engines because they like to hear their loud exhaust.

We stopped behind a store or sub shop and took a break, Mark broke out some pony bottles of Chardonnay, I gave Kyle some and we polished those off and rode on north to Rehobeth beach.

About 3 or 4 miles south of Rehobeth we stopped (2nd picture) took a break. The sky was getting darker, we knew rain was coming. We decided to head on in to Rehobeth and get something to eat. We stopped at this biker bar and had some Philly cheese steak subs (last picture).

Donna called and said it's raining in Centreville....I knew it was heading our way. I suggested we finish eating, stop off at the Exxon across the street, top off and haul ass home.

Kyle's ass was getting sore and numb, actually it was sore and numb 20 minutes when we first left for the trip.....He kept scooting around on the back seat. Once we got on Rt 404 the rain started, first it was just a mist.....then it turned into rain....it got real dark, wet and rainy.....We kept going.

The further west we went the rain seem to be getting lighter and the sky was getting brighter.....We hit Rt 309 into Centreville, we were about 13 miles from home. Our boots had water in them and our socks were soaked, same with our pants from the knee down.

We parked the bikes in the garage, Kyle's ass was surgically removed from the back seat, Mark and I changed into our bathrobes and made ourselves several drinks and had a cheap cigar while sitting in the garage.

All in all, my brother and son all had a good time....He said it's better than going to school......he only has two classes, so I took him out Friday....he's ready for next year.
