• Part of the Gang

  I went on my first motorcycle group ride yesterday.  It was the Sheriff’s Charity Ride held on the southside of Indianapolis.  It was awesome.  I joined up with them at the second stop of the day.  I was at the Honda shop getting a safety inspection done on my bike, when a couple hundred motorcyclists crowded into the parking lot.  I stuck up a conversation with a couple bikers, and they invited me to join in, so I did.   I rode with them for about 4 hours, and it was great.  It was a huge group – HUGE.  One of the riders said that the Sheriff’s department had 500 shirts to pass out to participants, and they ran out.  Someone else estimated that there were about 1000 riders – I somewhat doubt that, but 600-700 wouldn’t have been unbelievable.  I will most definitely do it again.  I took some pictures, but I haven’t transferred them from my phone yet, and they may not be the greatest quality.  I’ll post them if they’re any good.
