What started out as a cold blustery day evolved into a reasonably warm and sunny day with temperatures very nice for riding.

We met as planned for breakfast at Southern Skillet in Roswell. There was a mix of bikes and cars. Oddly, all two up riders were in cars and the one ups on bikes....wonder what that means?....anyway.....We all gathered round a table, placed our orders and received a really good breakfast. Those who came on the bikes had a chance to warm up and the rest of us seemed a little smug that we were in our warm cars. After breakfast we had a little meeting about some of the upcoming events for the year, then headed out for the motorcycle show.

The weather was gradually warming and a couple more members on bikes met us at the show. The show was good. About the same size as last year and lot different from when I started going 12 years ago. It is a little more refined now. The crowd not so rough. Fewer leather vendors and lot more bike vendors. There was plenty to see and do. We walked the exhibit hall, pretty much staying together as a group but each able to satisfy our own interests. We ran in to friends and acquaintances along the way. We had fun and most departed with some cash before it was over.

By early afternoon everyone was hungry so most of us headed up the road to a Cracker Barrel for some lunch. Now, sitting at the table the people of bikes were a little smug because they were riding in the now warmer sunny weather while the rest of us were cooped up in our four wheel cages....but that's the weather in Atlanta...especially at this time of year....heater on in the mornings and the air is on in the afternoons.

We all had a great time, regardless of transportation. If you weren't able to make this one, we hope we see you at the next one.
