Better than ANY day at work...

Was able to take a short ride this weekend with "Burnsy", "Wingnut", and Howard. It was nice to get out and enjoy the scenery. We were able to ride right from Howard's house in New Durham. We stopped to talk every 20 minutes or so and at one stopping point we saw a rider coming down the road and watched him flip the machine right in front of us. As we sat there in awe, Howard got off his machine and started running towards the rider that was just starting to get up off the ground. It was Howard's son! who was too cool to ride with the old guys. How embarrassing for him to flip the machine right in front of all of us, I felt bad for him.

It looks like the Polaris he was riding on bent the steering column when it hit the ground - not good. I must say that a Honda can take a roll much better than a Polaris. Not that I wan't to do it again to prove it. :)
