Barely any Harley's here, and none of them supersport bro's riding in tshirts and shorts either.

With a BBQ inside a motorcycle dealership afterwards

I do 2 or 3 charity rides a year. Most of the rides have 100+ bikes. The toy drive I rode in last year had 1200+ bikes. Big rides like that are pretty cool because they are for a good cause, usually have a police escort and end with a big party. All types of bikes and 3 wheel vehicles show up. Everyone is welcome. Is there a little good natured ribbing between different people with different bikes? Sure. But for the most part riding is treated like a brotherhood with respect for all riders no matter what they ride...

The local Harley dealership usually has a customer appreciation BBQ, with live band, bike wash and various other vendors every weekend.

BTW, your pics aren't coming up for me.

Here are some shots of that toy drive...

Speaking of bbqs I recently bought one.4 steaks later I get it now.

Honestly, I think we need two new threads. "bike" and "car".
What is new in your little world? is about the little things, in my opinion. Like moving. Loosing your job. Putting together a new LEGO. Being creative.
Bikes and Cars are part of that but I think the deserve their own topic.

I got myself a Xiaomi Amazefit Bip, got a good deal from Ali Express.

Took a little ride up the coast today and got a little wet. But the ride home was beautiful. We had 17 bikes and 22 people.

it's ironic that the Floridian roads you were riding on will one day be at the bottom of the sea due to burning too much fossil fuels

Even more exciting to know is that the air you're breathing right now will stop filling your lungs due to old age and you'll be dead much much sooner.

Yet even more titillating to know Florida's coasts are covered with dead fish and toxic algae because its people and government are such fucking morons and can't comprehend how much they've permanently fucked their own environment

jesus...

He can't save you.

Well, I’m now a co-owner of a cannabis business. Medical marijuana was just legalized here, so the industry is new and booming. Business should be good...

Nice, enjoy being scrutinized by your federal government.

How so? I don’t foresee any problems. Our states have more power than the federal government (although the supremacy clause says otherwise). That’s why we’re able to override their laws. Feds typically stay out of states business...Dumbo...

Got my new phone today, Galaxy S9+.

It should prove to be an interesting business journey and getting in at the ground level, well there's only one way to go .

I have a bit of experience in that matter as it's been a problem in Canada in the past. Aside from that, there's many stories going round about how anyone associated with the canabis industry in Canada, which is legal, will be barred entry to the US and there's also a bunch of articles on the FBI raiding medical dispensaries even though it's legal. Either way, good luck with your endeavor, I'm very much pro legalization and I still smoke... a lot. That said, if I was in the US, I'd probably be weary of having my name associated with anything weed related.

So you are in the medical branche, not the commercial "just to get high" branche?

Correct.

Until they legalize recreational, then we’ll supply both...

Like you're not already supplying it on the dark net

Getting ready to attempt a 3000 mile round trip ride at the end of this month (weather permitting). I needed more storage on the bike so I installed some locking, removable, hard leather saddle bags. I also changed out the turn signal to some LED low profile lights as the factory signals would be in the way of the bags.

I also picked up a nice hard leather sissy-bar bag (not in picture).
