Well, I joined the local Hog Chapter and went on a ride. Needless to say,,I won't ride again with them. About 25 riders took part. Safety meeting in the beginning and the instructions/directions were given. We are told we will be doing the speed limit and when we get on the interstate we will be getting in the far left hand lane(fast lane). So we take off and down a road the light turns yellow, so I stop as well as the 7 bikes behind me. The rest go on as we will catch up. One of the members calls out to me as to know if I know where I'm going,,,and I nod yes as I have been on this route a few times.
So we get on the interstate and I DO AS THE ROAD CAPTAIN SAYS TO DO in the safety meeting. Far left hand lane on the interstate and I do 65 in a 60 as I feel being in the fast lane not to be a good idea,,,,but I didn't want to be told later that I didn't follow the road ways. Well we had a little ways to go before we got to our exit,,,and here comes the guy that questioned me ,,passes me up in a much quicker speed , so I get behind him and follow. Well we come to a red light and he says to me," you're going to slow,, you're in the fast lane, and i wasn't sure if you knew the exit"... Well O K ,,so we get on a two lane 55 speed limit highway , catch up with the rest of the pack and off we go. Well we are doing 75 on a 55 limit. So I signaled to those behind me to pass and My girl friend and I just rode by ourselves. Just me,,not my kind of group.
On another note,,,,we just had our state Hog Rally here in Louisiana and I must say ,,it was lame, dissapointing,,,,few vendors , very little food to choose from and not much going on. Glad I used someones arm band to see the vendors and not spend $90 to get into nothing. There was more going on at the local HD dealership there in Hammond. JMO
