This morning Skip stayed back at the hotel to await his wife, Linda arrive as Miles and I headed out to the Harley Davidson Anniversary Parade. Wow is all I can say - approximatley 6,000 bikes rode through it was truly amazing.
The OPP was here showing off their motorcycle skills and impressed everyone along the route. A number of other police and their motorcycles were here along with some military veterans who received a huge round of applause from everyone. There were young and old, women and men riding the Harley Davidson's some decked out while others were classical and plain. There were old bikes and brand new 2014 bikes. Men, women, children and pets were all passengers on some bikes. There were trikes and bikes with sidecars.
One guy who had his child in the side car and his wife on the back drove with the sidecar tipped up in the air half way down the street - now that takes balance. People along the street were so excited to see all the bikers and were very appreciative of Harley Davidson riders.
After leaving the parade before it was over Miles and I headed to the House of Harley Davidson Dealers. It was perfect timing as we were able to get great parking and the crowd wasn't too big and we could actually navigate through the vendors without getting bumped all the time. We headed back to the hotel to meet up with Skip and Linda and headed out for lunch. There was discussion about what to do this evening and we talked about going to a movie later.
For me, that didn't happen as I received a text from Robyn Bush who I had met along with her husband on Route 66. She invited me to go to the Kid Rock concert. Truly amazing - what a blast - the music was amazing. Everyone was on their feet the whole concert. I didn't realize I knew so many songs by Kid Rock - I guess I am a rebel. LOL Thanks again Robyn for making the final night at the 110th very memorial. Oh, and by the way I rode by myself downtown and back without getting lost and I had great parking within twenty feet of the gate!! $5.00 parking was well worth it tonight! I am still tickled with myself for doing that all on my own!!!!
On the way into the Summerfest grounds there was an area you could get your picture taken and you gave the camera to a staff member who took the picture for a tip - so he took mine but he wanted in my picture to so he handed it off to the next person in line!!
What a crazy guy!
Tomorrow we head to the ferry and back to Ludington for the night and then off to Skip and Linda's lake house for a night or two. Should be fun!!
