Rollin thru the Umpqua

pineapple dave · 07-24-2012, 06:21 AM

I don't know why I did not post this before but do you all know about the event this weekend ? If not here is the flyer, I will be down there hope to see other's. Probably have the wife bring RV and park across the street in RV park.
This replaces the event at the fairgrounds last year, there are new people in charge and more vendors/stuff than last year.
Who want's to ride down Sat. not sure what time??

OK, you don't seem to like those "damn Harleys" but also seem upset when they don't wave at you... ?!

This event is supposed to replace the one they had at the fairgrounds last year? Everyone liked that one and this year it stunk? Different organizers i guess.

Did the Abate poker run out 138 on Sunday.. was a blast except for a couple accidents, one serious.

I talked to one of the head guys, he said it was just a couple guys who had had something to do with last years, but decided to start their own. The guy told me "if you're just going in for the vendors it's not worth the $8". But you got a $5 coupon for slots, so it's was really only $3, but then I went in and lost a lot more money on slots. They don't call them "one armed bandits" for nothing.

The only cool thing I saw was a patch that said "Tell your BOOBs to quit staring at my eyes!". I need that one.

One of the cars pulled over on the westbound shoulder was towing a small utility trailer & the left tire & fender was bent back where the bike hit it. minutes later passed 2 ambulances, a sheriff & a state cop all eastbound. Haven't heard/seen anything official about injuries or fault.. No info at all about the second one except that there was one a bit further west of the 1st one. Saw a guy trying to bunji a crashbar to his bike & he mentioned that there had been one.
