What a great turnout! I haven't been to a big big meetup in such a long time. Love the old school 2 strokes! Bit of a stretch for it being "I" themed though! You could have done anything! "I went for a ride today..." 🤣🤪

Some eye catching bikes there. I don't know what they were, but looked like few decades old racing bikes. / Our traditional season start event is still couple of weeks away. Good thing too, because the temperatures have dropped way too low for riding comfortably.

Man that’s a lotta folks right there. When I had a Harley those big group rides always made me nervous. We even had police escorts to stop traffic at intersections and such, it was still nerve racking. Do yall have the option to have a police escorted ride?

@HippoDrones

2 ай бұрын

The Mayday Run is normally accompanied by police riders, mainly to keep the idiots in check. TBH, the ride got split up pretty quickly so we made our way in smaller groups. Mine did catch up with the main group and Mr Fish just before we arrived which was cool... the car park was mayhem though, one of the first nice days on a weekend we've had for a bit, so it was extra rammed! 😀

@@HippoDrones 😂 Yeah that's always a good thing to have them in and about the ride. I bet it was a mad house, just seeing all the bikes there looked like a parking nightmare. Always fun conversing amongst like minded people though. Our local wattering holes are also jam packed when the weather is nice out. It's nice when the weather is gloomy because all the fair weather riders stay home, the pubs and burger joints don't like it though.
