Made a ride with Kaye on a beautiful Saturday in the RVA. Finally think that the oil leak on the bike has been fixed (thanks Ultimate Cycle, RVA) and we made a stop at Steel Horse Harley Davidson. Lots of cool bikes on display there plus food and a band....nice thing to check out. Used to love to visit those events in Carolina, fun to go to one here in the Richmond area. Steel Horse is located on Hull Street and had a good time checking out the sounds and the sights there. Soon we were riding again down 288 toward Short Pump - had a good place in mind to eat.
Stopped at Buz and Ned's Real BBQ for lunch, one of my favorite places to eat on The Boulevard they opened this new and much bigger place just a while back. Had a great lunch there, though there is a lot of good BBQ in this city, I prefer Buz and Ned's. Wild riding in Short Pump as it is a huge shopping area and one of the busiest roads in the Richmond area, but sure a lot of things to see there. Some of the largest malls in Richmond can be found there, and its a good area to pay real close attention to your driving. Those we got there via 288 you can also get to Short Pump via Broad Street which runs though downtown Richmond.
Went to a car show at Quaker Steak and Lube. Neat place in that I used to be at the one (its a chain) in Concord, NC - they had some of the most amazing Bike Nights I have ever been too. Told they are also pretty good here in Richmond (though have not made one...yet). We saw they had a car show and we turned out (were heading out of the area following lunch and rode back). I have some more photos on my "Racing with the Wind" page, but liked the doors on this car. Remarkable what people can do to their automobiles and just thought this was worth a photo.
They also had some classic older cars, it was a pretty good car show. Had a good crowd there, and also a number of very interesting motorcycles on display as well. It was a very good ride and had a great time.
For the day, covered on the order of 100 miles and we had a great time on the bikes. Been awhile since I have been able to do that, and sure enjoyed being out on my bike (and having Kaye on hers) and looking very forward to the next ride in the area. Fall is coming and that means some of the best motorcycling of the year is not very far away!
