Our Victory Ride~ 3~30~08


My ride is here!













And my riding partner! :)


















We started out with an overcast sky and a chance of rain forecast! No rain came but no sunshine either! It was cool but just right for riding, at least when we started out! I must say, tho, we got a little bit chilled on our return trip! :)




This is where we went... This Polaris place is a few miles north of Gainesville- 40 something miles north of our place.

They were having a charity event to raise $$ and all Polaris owners (others too, I think) were invited to pay a small fee to enter their bikes for judging...with winners in all categories getting trophies. Also there were raffle prizes! ...Hot dogs and cokes too! And a chance to look at all the new motorcycles! :)









Lol- Well, we didn't win any raffle prizes and our motorcycle didn't win either!
( Though it was clearly the prettiest bike there!!! :) )




















Here are some of the neat bikes we saw...some in the showroom and some on display for judging!






























































We had a fun day!

    Sounds like a great day! Too bad the sun wasn't shining. Your flower pictures are beautiful. I may have to look for a Coral honeysuckle.

    Hi Jean,

    Thanks for looking at my flowers. The Coral Honeysuckle is very pretty and bright- but doesn't have the fragrance of the more common plant.
    It does better in a sunny spot. I had one of these that never bloomed , because it was in the shade.

    Oh! We enjoyed the ride yesterday!

    Hi Junie,
    I think your Victory should have taken a prize too! Bill did a repair job on a Polaris (four wheeler) for a friend. We had to visit a few shops around the bay area and even one in NV to get parts. (it was a transmission overhaul I think..)
    Loved seeing your flowers too..

    Thanks, Susie,

    ;) We love the way our Victory looks- green is the favorite color of both of us!

    It was a fun outing for us.
