Friday we took the bikes into a spot set aside for
us in the Expo Center. It was a shame in many respects because of the weather. We have not seen Steve MacMinn for a few days
but we think he may still be around as it rained all day. Since many folks were not riding today, we had a large number of
attendees stop by and ask about the ride, the bikes and the HRCA. A number of people told us about the times that having “The
Card” saved them while on a ride. Flat tires, lost keys, breakdowns. You name it, we heard about it! Mike and I told
them all that we have our cards but never needed them during our ride.
Charlie came over to say “Hi”, pose
for a shot and set the kids up on plenty of candy to get them wired for the day. Carin was sure to thank him for his kindness!
|
| We don't know how Charlie does it, but he is alway running around and greeting folks at the Hoot! |
|
| Thanks Charlie but, the kids need anything but candy! |
We
got the families to sit still for a second and got a shot of them on the bikes.

Among the folks stopping by to visit with us was
a guy with a true testament to his believe in Honda. A Honda Wing and “Ride Red” tattooed on his arm!
|
| Now THAT is dedication to the Honda brand! |
The HRCA booth was very active as it always is and
many people were gathered around to hang out and to try to get dry from the rain.
