They are probably worried about getting bugs on their teeth Bob.

Cos they're being manly bikers.

Apologies in advance to any lady bikers out there, but all the happy souls in these images were men.

Thanks for sharing these. I have been in a few of these and you really need to pay attention to what the riders around you are doing. So hence the lack of smiling is mostly due to concentrating on what's happening. It is an honor to ride for fellow vets.

Nice shots Charlie. TFS. I've rode in a few local rides myself, and yes you really have to pay attention, but it's a lot of fun.

slowpez · 04-29-2013, 10:25 AM

That must have been something to see and hear. TFS Charlie.

cardinal43 · 04-29-2013, 01:03 PM

Thanks for sharing, Charlie. Reminds me of the Rolling Thunder rides we have here in the Northern VA area.

**crewl1** · 04-29-2013, 01:07 PM

Nice, I like the last one with the lady waving. Hope you had ear plugs on
