Todays adventure....

Me and Gene were supposed to go to Flattrack races today, and meet up with Vince and a couple other guys, the other guys bailed, but me and Gene showed, but it was so freakin hot and not many Racers showed either- so "I" wanted to bail and do a Car Show with Gene's '53 studebaker instead. Then Vince showed, and he never got to see the races, but did get to ride with us to Gene's house and see his two Studes, the '53 Hotrod and the original '63 Supercharged Avanti. We then split with Vince and went our separate ways, and hope he made it home ok? But Gene's '53 ran out of GAS right on the middle of the Long Bridge(I-81) that crosses the Susquehanna river near Harrisburg. But he was following me on my bike, so I then went ahead and bought a small gas can and gas and came back, and soon we were on our way again.... We finally got to the Car "Cruise-In" held at Cruiser's Cafe- where I hold the Bike Nites, and it was a Huge turnout today. Maybe when pix are posted later- I post some here ? Anyway- what a Day !

In the pic below- you can see Gene's "Green" '53 right behind the Telephone pole...

Joel is Finally Cruisin' !

I took the Following pix on July 28th. Thats pastor Paul Beech at the helm of his newest bike- an '07 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic. The passenger is none other than Joel Snyder- owner of the Cruiser's Cafe. Let me add this, Joel does NOT like riding pillion ;-)

Cruiser's Bike Nite -july 21

Well, I just got back from Bike Nite @ Crusier's, weather was perfect, but turnout was light, I guess coz of the fear of rain. We had about 30+ bikes, a few new faces, but some old ones were missing. We held the Slow Races again, this time I participated on my Buell. Ahem, guess who WON ;-) FYI- I raced the guy from Harrisburg that won the last time, it was sorta close, but I think I beat him by a foot or so?

You can find me on Facebook !

Just an FYI, but since I joined Facebook recently, I find it alot more interesting and fun to use than Blogger. So if you search for "Ralph Rosson III" over there, and want to be my friend....?

The Orange Happy Dance

I love Orange !

What I did on my Birthday- today...

I ended up spending 3 hours with my new young Sportster friend Derrick Dieffenbach. But we spent the time over at Seths Motorcycle shop watching Derrick's friend get his bike inspected, then Derrick decided to get a new rear tire put on(which took an hour). We finally went for a ride to Cruiser's Cafe- which I was told(last week) to stop by today, and guess what, they had- had a birthday celebration waiting for me, but all those 3 hours I spent with Derrick at the shop next door, made the Gals at Cruiser's think I Wasn't gonna show, so they had the party without me, and cut the cake and passed it out- all except one piece which they saved for me. Soooo... I traded a B-Day party for me with the ladies- for hanging out with some guys in a Motorcycle shop, ahhhh.... I was Robbed ! BTW- Derrick can be seen in the Slow Races Video, as the guy with white t-shirt with shaved head and stocky build, riding the Sportster custom with the batwing fairing. Derrick lost out early against the guy on the Yamaha R6.

Happy Birthday to ME !

Well, I'm waaay past the halfway point now. FYI- I consider middle age to be 35-40 years old, and I just Turned 51 today/June 29th ! ARGH :-(
