Someone else's lady (WHO HOO !)

Seen a Purple Rocket there but didn't see the owner. Also a couple tourings, again no owners. Was overcast on and off throughout the day but warm and dry. A good time was had by most. Saw two accidents on the way in. A Harley trike left the road and endo'd . A block later saw a guy lying in the road by what looked like a Honda Interceptor. Not sure what caused either. Harley guy was sitting up.

It wasn't supposed to be very warm. I had on my long sleeve RAA shirt but had to take it off. Never thought about the shirt under under it

Great lookin Rockets! I really like the look of the head lamps with the addition of that visor like thingy. I might have to look at adding that to mine. Looks like a great time.

It's where a bunch of motorcycles meet at the airport in Baldwin Michigan and get their bikes blessed by a Baptist Minister. This is the 42nd annual. The have little awards for who traveled the farthest to get there, oldest rider, youngest rider etc. They have venders and food closer to town. Used to just be a Sunday thing, but now it's become a three day (beer party) event. I've only missed it a few times in the 40 years I've been riding.
