I don't know why I picked that as a title but we shall see where this ride blog takes us shall we? I signed on here at Biker or Not a couple of years ago then deactivated my membership. I had a profile on here about 6 months and really no inquires so I let it go. I don't know why but I've reactivated my membership about a month ago and I'm glad I did. I really am interested in meeting other folks that ride not only in my home area but in other areas as well. I'm a self dater so I date myself for no one else will. These are the stories of my rides, my meets and of self dating. I am my own best friend and don't mind spending time with myself which is a good thing because if you can't stand yourself who are you going to stand? I don't think I'm a bad person or need a bag or anything but I've just come to the conclustion that guys just don't like me. What they think they like about me, they end up hating. I am independent and that seems to be a giant problem. I solve my own problems, take care of business myself and if someone helps me yes I am grateful. However I don't need to hear how one has helped me in one matter a hundrend times..... I just say thank you just like everyone else and wonder what can I do to make that persons world a little nicer. Yea me too that's where I'm going..where in the hell did riding go in this one? Anyway, I reactivated my membership to give this site another try and I am glad I did. I have to realize that friendships take time espically the deep ones. Some folks you meet they are here for the day, some are here for the a shortwhile and others well they are in your life for duration and you can never say how or when that will happen. I have a few folks here I babble with on line. I can't help myself I love people. I like learning about the different areas they live in and differnt jobs and their stories.... man the stories. We all got past some are good some are bad but they make us who we are are today. They help us march towards our futures. I shall stay here and see who will stay for the day a short peroid and be will be blessed with the few that stay for the duration. Crash & Ms. Toni Thank you! Road Queens thank you for allowing me to join your ride. OK, back to the scene of the crimes. I rejoined about three weeks ago and said what the hey and e-mailed a lady about a ride. She invited me to her site to check it out. I loged on and said yea I'll go. What the hell the group was out of Jacksonville and me I'm in Fernandina so that isn't that far. The ride was to Savannaha GA. Why not that's a couple hour ride and they were going to Tybee island and a Lighthouse. Lighthouses are one of my favorite places in history. The romance of the seas. I arranged to meet them on Beach and 9A. Since the meet was in Jacksonville which is an hour away I had to leave by 9am. The day had started the sun just coming over the horizon as I was getting ready to leave. The hour 7:45am. I decided to go and get a pullover since it was about 46 degrees out. I added a warmer T-Shirt too. wraped a bandana around my neck and made ready. The sun had come up by the time I was done fussing around and headed south. I could see the golden rays of sun dancing across the waves surface as I headed out of town. I waved Hi to wayne a neighbor of mine on the way out. I took Hecksher drive to Jacksonville. Anyone in the area can tell you what a lovely ride it is. Sometimes you can see the big navel ships leaving, cargo ships leaving and everyonce in awhile the carnival crusise ship going out to see. I went over the dam's point bridge and meet with the two riders that were waiting. Both dressed in Leather for us here in Florida it is leather weather. We meet planned the ride and almost left. However we needed to make one stop for Ms. Ton needed a lid. Ok here we are all outside of Crash's house Ms Ton with her new alien lid and they vote me to lead. Ok, I've done this before no problem. Except we are in Jacksonville and I really have no idea where I am. They help me get to the dam's point bridge and north we go. We headed off on Alta road which comes to a T intersection on 17 just south of Nassau County. We continued north over the border and well into Georgia. Every time I look at that peach that says "glad you got georgia on your mind" it makes me think of a an ass. I'm sorry but at 65 it really doesn't look like a peach. We find ourselves in Brunswick Ga. We stop for gas, gloves, potty and just basic chaos. Why do goldwing riders leave their bikes at the pump when they get gas? Why do people think we except the fact they say we did see you and that makes it ok? Why di folks look at lady riders like they are alien? Ok, maybe it was Ms Toni's helmet. While we were at the stop we all agreed that it got colder and decided to head back south where it would be warmer and toni could get rid of her helmet. Ok so now where are going south down 17 looking for some biker bar in Georgia somewhere that I haven't heard of so I have no idea where I'm going right? So what the hell I'm the perfect person to lead right? I guess theat's the lady thought process ...anyway we find the place but its closed. No biggie big we continue south on 17 and soon are upon the St. Mary's river and that little blue bridges that says home. Ok, so on the other side of the bridges there's a sign that says Florida but that's besides the point. We stopped at the tavern on 17 known as the 17 tavern. While were in there we babble eat peanuts and discuss where to go next. Ah to the Golden ox on Monument road in Jacksonville. Oh but first they decide they needed to stop at the redneck yahett club. I personall can't help myself so when asked are ya eating peanuts, are you eating peanuts? I had to yes Yes I'm eating peanuts because they don't serve pussy at the bar. Yea that didit, If we didn't have enough attentions we did now so we left for the redneck. Just a short shot down 17 we pulled into renis. The band was playing and I don't so girls were dancing round that couldn't through their chests out there any further if they tried. I was affraid they weregoing to pull their backs out with the way they were standing. Hell don't ya know I saw clients there. Of course we had to talk about fluffy and what needed to be done. Dam I was hoping to sneek by without anyone I know seeing me. I guess not in such a small town area. At this point we were off to the golden ox. Not a biker bar but its a bar. We walked in and Ms Toni knew just about everyone there. She introduced us and we got down to raiseing or maybe lowering the bar there. Any way we left with only hurting a few of the regulars. so now that's its almost dark with go to the rooster. Perfect. We hit the rooster it looked like it might have been a really great day there.. We didn't get to see the band but did dance on the poll anyway. We walked around the other ladies were well known me no one really knows me except for Im dam cute in the hat. whatever. i got a free T-Shirt, a butt pat, and offer to go home with some guy and his wife, and a dam babe you ride that??? All in all it was a very good day and now that the sun was below the horizon it was time to go home. The temps dropped very fast and I had like 2 hours to go before I was home. I was surprised when both the ladies said they'd ride with me again. Me I'd ride with them they were all right and not bad riders at all. Now what will next week bring. After all its halloween. have a great one! "T"
