Report by Pogy:

Our ride to the Chatterbox started off with overcast and 34F – Pickup for me was at 0950 so I tried calling The Captain 3 times just to confirm pick up, but his phone was SOL – So I called Grumpy who answered – he was getting gas across the street from the DD and could see the Captains bike so I knew it was a go – As a side bar, Fonz called me to advise that he would be running late and he and Ed would see us down at the Chatterbox

When I arrived at the Pickup point I was surprised to find Scott sitting there – I think this is only the second time this season he has joined us ---   At 0950 the boys rolled by  - Grumpy, the Captain and Fat Mac – So we rolled out and joined up – Grumpy was lead and Fat Mac was tail gunner – 

Ride down was uneventful – Had a few light snow flurries but with the temp being about freezing not an issue – About three quarters of the way down, the Fonz and Ed passed us – Figured they wanted to get to the destination to get a table for us all – which they did!

We arrived at the Chatterbox at about 1120 – This will be the last time to this destination – the owner sold out to WaWa – always good service and food – will miss the place

Riding back there were 7 of us – just before the 80 cutoff, Scott went straight – down to six – along the way we had a pickup truck almost taking out the Fonz – Damn fool was hell bent on getting around us so he just moved into our staggered formation without any regard for us – Nice evasive maneuver Fonz

When we got to the Rt 15 exit on 287, Fonz, Ed, Mac and Grumpy peeled off – The Captain and I continued to 95 – 

Got home in time to do an oil change on the bike and ready it for our next ride two weeks from now

As always, thanks for the Comradery

Ride Safe
