Friday the 13th today...and I missed it!!
« on: August 13, 2010, 04:06:24 PM »
Just wondering how many of my SOHC brethren may have made it to Dover today? First one I missed in the last 4 or so years. It was supposed to be the biggest yet at about 150,000 bikes there today! Not bad for a one day rally....

I was on my drive in to work today (company provided cage) when I realized there were far more bikes than usual at the 2 Timmy's I pass along the way to the highway. The as soon as I passed the line of 50 cruisers riding in tandem that damn it was the 13th!!! I have been so busy with work and life I forgot all about it!! Worst part was I messsaged a buddy to jokingly bug him that we all forgot (the same 2 buddy's and I have gone for the last 4 years) when he messages back that they were just grabbing a bite to eat and heading over! Geeze thanks for the invite guys....dirt bags!!

Anyways, with such a huge rally I am sure some of you must have made it....pics please to make me feel better being an idiot who forgets what day it is....

Is it really worth it for SOHCers? I thought it was a Harley thing?

well they are definitely the dominant bike but I saw more than a handful of SOHC's, brits etc....at 150,000 bikes you're bound to find a gem or two ;)

In previous years I rode my CBR but I was gonna ride my CX this year. Would have been curious to see what if any reaction to a quirky 30 something year old bike
