IT'S SUNDAY AND ONCE AGAIN TIME FOR OUR MBCOC MEETING. ROCS AND I HEAD OUT TO (SURPRISE, LOL) MARINA FOR THIS MONTH'S MEETING. IT'S A PRETTY NICE DAY OUT AND THE RIDE GOES BY FAST. THE MEETING IS FAST AND OF COURSE I WIN A RAFFLE PRIZE.
WHAT? YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I WON, A BOTTLE OF JACK DANIELS OF COURSE, WHAT ELSE :-)
AFTER I SECURE JACK IN MY SADDLE BAG WE HEAD BACK TO SAN JOSE TO MEET CATCHUP AND GOGO AT THE 408 CUSTOMZ GRAND OPERNING.

IF YOU NEED SERVICE, MUSIC, OR CUSTOM WORK DONE ON YOUR BIKE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 408 CUSTOMZ ;-)

THERE WAS A GOOD SIZE CROWD AT THE GRAND OPENING. THEY HAD FOOD, DRINKS, JELLO SHOTS (YES), MUSIC, AND RAFFLE PRIZES. IT WAS LIKE A BIKE SHOW LOOKING AT ALL OF THE CUSTOMERS BIKES. THERE WAS EVEN A SPRINGER JUST LIKE MINE!!!

AFTER EATING AND MINGLING AT THE 408 PARTY WE STILL HAD ONE MORE DESTINATION TO RIDE TOO. ROCS, GOGO, AND I JUMP O 680 AND HEAD FOR THE ALAMEDA COUNTY FAIR. NOW IN SAN JOSE IT WAS A COMFORTABLE 77 DEGREES, BUT DAMN THE MINUTE WE STARTED DECENDING THE HILL INTO PLEASANTON I SWEAR THE TEMP JUMPED UP ABOUT 20 DEGREES! LUCKILY THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE BIKE PARKING RIGHT UP FRONT.
THE PARKING ATTENDANT WAVES US INTO A PRIME SPOT. ONLY AFTER WE HAVE PARKED AND ARE GETTING READY TO GO IN, HE REIMNDS US TO LOCK OUR BIKES, BECAUSE "A HARLEY WAS STOLEN LAST NIGHT". NOW WE'RE THINKING WTF, AND YOU'RE JUST TELLING US THIS NOW? HE REASSURES US THAT IS WHY HE IS THERE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM. THAT'S COOL AND ALL, BUT I AM MORE COMFORTED BY THE FACT THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE RED & WHITE PROSPECTS KEEPING AN EYE ON THINGS.
SO WE GO IN THE FAIRGROUNDS AND GET IN THE ALREADY LONG LINE TO SEE THE WAR CONCERT. THE CONCERT WAS GOOD, BUT IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS LAST YEAR. I THINK I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I HAD THIS HUMONGOUSE FUNNEL CAKE THAT WAS GETTING ALL OVER, BUT MMM MMM GOOD!
ALSO THANKS TO THE MOST ENVIED MC. WE LET THEM GET IN LINE WITH US, AND THEY BOUGHT US A COUPLE OF BEERS AT THE SHOW :-)
AFTER THE CONCERT WE HAD A NICE RIDE HOME. IT WAS A LONG DAY, BUT ONCE AGAIN IT WAS A GOOD DAY!
