person. There was plenty of breakfast food at the registration point; maybe too much. The run started in Bayville, at the 'dinosaur'. It was a great run; about 20 bikes. We had police blocking most of the intersections along the way which helped the group stay together. Of course one asshole in a car had to cut into the group right in front of us. The run ended at the White Pearl Hotel in Seaside. At the hotel there was a buffet, DJ and a 'Chinese Auction' for door prizes. Overall, it was a great run. We met a few great folks and we raised about $400 for Toys For Tots as well as a pile of toys.

Barbara and I received an invatation on Facebook to participate in this run. With Sunday free and the weather being perfect we decided to go on the run. The registration fee was one toy and $10 per

Labor Day Weekend Ride
I joined the NJ Road Riders for a Sunday ride on Labor Day weekend to the Hawk Mountain area. It was a beautiful day; temperature, blue sky, a little breeze. We were headed out for the usual treat, ice cream. It seems all rides involve stopping for ice cream; not a bad tradition. We went through Allentown, Quakertown up to and through Hawk Mountain to Hesilers Cloverleaf Dairy. Check out the pictures at http://njroadriders2009.shutterfly.com/2010/1264 . We returned to the Burlington Bristol Bridge through Bucks County without incident. We didn't even have to do any u-turns; another Road Riders tradition.

You can't avoid...
You can't avoid alot of things while on a motorcycle...
The smell of a garbage truck on a summer afternoon. Yeeeeech!
Assholes in cars talking, texting, playing with cell phones while driving. This is becoming epidemic and there's nothing that can be done. This is just stupid. Everytime I have had a close call the driver of the cage has been on the phone. Put down the phone and drive.
Tailgaters. If the light is red ahead why are you in such a hurry to get to it?
Loose dogs. Owners don't care. Dogs are stupid, their owners are stupid.
Garbage on the road. People are pigs. How is it an option to throw trash out of a car window?
Highbeams. Motorcycle headlights are naturally bright. Don't flash your highbeams at me when I can't turn mine down...like those new 'white' headlights on cars.
Bugs...say no more.
