With Bill we had lunch together and talked motorcycles while GZ was watching.

Going back with the clouds gathering i took 64 and 81 all the way to 211 and 211 home. 

I was lucky enough to get only few drops of rain, apparently the storm went through earlier and all I had to deal with were wet roads.

Took a picture in the same spot - Blue ridge 211 pass - this time with Godzilla.

Two more pictures:

Godzilla ready to abandon non SOHC bike and with a happy grin on my 70CB750.

He still has the hat, just riding without it.

60 miles traveled so far.

Couple of tourist thought my pimp friend was funny.

Good think you have been keeping Godzilla fed so he didn't take too much offense from their laughter, otherwise it could be a Duke Nukem in DC event...

Godzilla returned to Virginia, the DC was a no go.  Hmm, isn't it the sign of the times, DC is a NO GO!?!

Anyway.  Arranged hand over with MoMo in York, PA.  Rode 15 North - Leesburg, Frederick, Gettysburg and 30 to York.  Larry (MoMo) suggested hand over by the HD factory, how appropriate :).
Met with Larry, who had to fight heavy traffic to get there, we chatted a bit and rode together several miles before we parted. 

Pictures: 

Godzilla, SOHC4 sticker and HD factory logo.
Larry (MoMo) with GZ secured to his pretty RR.


Notes: 
1. To save Stev-o's feelings, I made sure the K0 seat is not in picture.
2. I actually wore Godzilla 3rd annual Rally t-shirt on the ride, but I don't have a picture to prove it.

I'll vouch for the appropriate shirt  ;) The Harley factory seemed to be the most easily recognized meeting place so I suggested it. Took me almost 2 hours to travel 41 miles due to heavy weekend Amish sightseeing traffic.  I went through Intercourse, Blue Ball and Paradise-all places that GZ visited during the first run-to get to York...Larry

After leaving 70cb750(aka Prokop) I was in a hurry to get home so I had GZ had some high octane booster to my fuel tank  ::)  He has to squat to go but he must have added at least 20hp to my Red Rider.

Woke up this morning to this sight, he drank the last of my $4 a bottle beer. WTF!   Think the brand of beer is fitting for GZ?


Of course, the excess amount of beer led to this awful situation

So he then went in search of some food to settle his stomach



Not too sure Moe was too happy about GZ stealing his food...Larry

Hey Matt, that pimpzilla suit is classic.  It gave GZ some much needed personality. You guys did good.

New England Godzilla Ride report

The day was rainy/overcast but this didnt dampen the assembled NEHG (New England Honda Guys) from having a good time at the New Hampshire Speedway at Loudon.

The assembled motley crew....Anders, Alex (aka Crush on his CB750F), Peter and Bethanie (Gene was out of shot) and myself (on a CB750K4)





Alex had brought Godzilla



Obviously he has good taste ;)







checking out Genes bikes





Then it was onto corner #6 to check out the action







"Black-hand-Alex" was really into it



Next race







A race CB750 in the paddock







Then it was a wet ride home through some downpours .

Crush/Alex will update later I am sure.

cheers
Andy

Had that happen to me a few months back. Went to an ATM and parked the bike behind a car. Dumb ass chick gets done at ATM and then I started to use it. For some dumb reason she backed up and knocked my bike over when all she had to do was drive forward. I look up after hearing the bike fall and there she is driving away!!!! I scooped my cash & receipt, did a real quick look over of the bike and chased her down. Caught her a few blocks away at a red light and told her to pull over. She said she didn't even realize she hit my bike and seemed to be apologetic about it so I let it go but Sheeeeesh!!!!!...............it could have been a person standing there instead of my bike !!!
