Hot day for a bike ride!

This past Sunday I took the HOG out for a ride with Mrs. Harley Howie. I figure this is my way of celebrating my first day on the new job on Monday. I did our normal routine: a long strength from our house to Café 27 for a bucket of ice cold Miller Lite, then stop by Flossie’s on the way home. Boy! It was it hot on that day. I think the temperature was around the high 90’s, but with the humidity it feels like in the 100s. At least there weren’t much traffic on the road. As long as we don’t have to stop and we can feel the wind brushing up against our face, it ain’t so bad.

As soon as we arrived, our buddy Salty Dog and his friend also arrived. They hang with us a bit shooting the breeze. I’d imagine Salty would be all dressed up in leather and riding boots, but he said it was too hot so he wore t-shirts and shorts. I’d probably never ride a motorcycle with shorts for the safety reasons. He says since he’s old and retire, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

After we wash down the bucket of Miller Lite, its time to visit our favorite biker bar Flossie’s. It was crowded as usual. I was lucky to get a parking spot as one guys was leaving when I got there. I was only going to get another beer, but Mrs. Harley Howie said it’s a much better deal when you buy a bucket, so that’s what I did. But on a hot day like this, its goes down quick and you’d never feel it. We sat on the bench and just “people watching”. We even saw a Japanese biker we ran into a while ago. He saw us and waved at us. I was surprised he remembers us. Mrs. Harley Howie said since there are probably only 3 Asian Harley bikers in the Broward County, we should be easily recognized. I guess she is right!
