Ginger is Sick!

This week the Friday night dinner ride group is meeting at Johnny's Charcoal Broiler, and boy do I need a ride. It was financial/end of year week at work, and it was very stressful. We brought 3 bikes from Duncan. We make it to Johnny's a little before 7, and as we drove up we see Ginger in the parking lot.

I need to stop right here and explain, some of us love our bikes and give them names. Ours is named Bella, Diane has Snow and Ginger.

Chuck & Diane don't drive her much because she can be contrary. Tonight was no different, they barely made it into the parking lot before the shifter broke. When we got there, they had already called Fort Thunder and help was on the way. Is wasn't long before the truck and trailer arrived.
All the guys help load her into the back.




  


























We had a wonderful dinner of burgers & onion rings, then of course we had to have coconut cream pie for dessert. As we finished the meal, the stories began. Stories of motorcycle troubles, I think every one that rides a motorcycle, especially a Harley, has a story. Why do we even ride a Harley? Some of the stories are horror stories. If you were sitting and listening, you would not want to buy a Harley. One thing we learned as we laughed and laughed, we aren't alone. If you have or have had a Harley, you have problems. We have had 3 Harleys and had problems with 2 of them, the one we really didn't like didn't give us any trouble.








Joey had more fun with his ice cream. It was a scoop when he got it,  by the time he got through he could drink it.


Brandon didn't want his picture taken, but he finally relented and let me snap a quick one.




All to soon it is time to say our goodbyes. Chuck & Diane are on foot since Ginger got sick, so Tom and Seda give them a ride home. Luckily, Tom drove a car tonight.
The ride home was perfect. We stopped at the McDonald's so Doug & Twanna could get a hamburger treat for their dogs.
It was a full moon, cool but not cold, and we didn't even need jackets.


I stayed awake all the way home. Now that is AMAZING!
