Al Fin Y Al Cabo
At long last I got to take a motorcycle trip, albeit a short one. Tuesday evening I left work at 5:30, went home, got the bike and headed for the beach. The weather was superb, and the ride down could not have been better. Well, yeah, if I had had a cute passenger riding with me, that might have been a nice addition to the evening.
Arrived at HOTO's (Harold's on the Ocean) at Cherry Grove shortly after seven and ordered a beer. While I was sitting out on the ocean front deck enjoying the view and appreciating the opportunity to relax, who should come strolling across the parking lot and onto HOTO's deck but my old buddy Jerry. He and his wife live a block away in a condo. We had a catch-up-on-old-times visit, and I even got to talk to Cyn, his better half, when she called his cell phone.
Later I drove over to K & W Cafeteria for a great meal---broiled king mackerel, veggies, slaw, and lemon chess pie. Yum.
Rode by the Elliots' place but they were not home. Or at least the house was dark at 8:30.
Suited up in the leathers leaving K & W as it was dark and temperature was dropping. Ride back to Florence was fine. Not much traffic, especially on that great connector between North Myrtle and 501. Glad I had the leathers with me and had suited up. Got home just after 10. Had had a good trip. Safe. Enjoyable. Relaxing. Scenic, especially through the Horry County wetlands, the Waccamaw valley, and the cypress swamps along Highways 22 and 31.
I want to ride the Harley to Winnsboro this weekend but may have to postpone that as I need to get bike and Toyota both there. So, may bring trailer back and haul Harley up there---yeah, I know it is a sin to trailer a Harley Electra Glide, but......I can't trailer the 4Runner behind the Harley, so...........If I could get someone to double-head me up there and drive the Toyota, then I would not have to trailer "B. C." He really looks dejected when he is trailered. Maybe I should use the tarp so he won't be so publicly humiliated?
