Here is some video from the weenie bite contest at Motorcycle Madness in downtown Warren, OH
Monthly Archives: June 2007
I had a really busy weekend. Saturday I spent the day at the Motorcycle Madness Poker Run in downtown Warren, Ohio. This event is put on every year by the Brother’s Regime MC and they always do a great job and set up a great event. This was the first year in Warren and I think the new location is much better than the Newton Falls location. Courthouse square is a nice place to hang out after the ride with all the picnic tables, benches, and shade. This year the event benefited the Warren Family Mission, so not only was a great time had by all, but it also helped out some people in need. I took some video of the Ms. Motorcycle Madness contest, the Burnout Contest, the Weenie Bite, and the Slow Race. Click above to see each of these videos once they are edited and posted!
This ride started at 6:00AM on Thursday the same way it ended at 11:00PM on Sunday, dressed in cold weather gear. The rest of the four days these items stayed packed in the motorcycle because it was HOT!
I had to go to a meeting in Columbus and I was running a little early so I stopped at McDonalds to have a Sausage McGriddle. These are delightful little sandwiches. These are just like eating pancakes and sausage but you don’t need any silverware! I was sure hoping that the meeting would end early, but it went for the full two and a half hours. When the meeting ended it was already hot outside. I had made great time to Columbus averaging 66MPH and I actually had no problems with traffic the whole four days. I took 70 out of Columbus and picked up 75 south. I just could not figure out why nothing looked familiar and kept checking the GPS but it kept telling me I was right on track. It wasn’t until I got to Cincinnati that I realized that this is not the usual way I get to Cincinnati. I usually take 71.
I am back from the second trip south of the year! It was one of the best yet and I am working on the update but it will probably be a couple of days before I have it posted because I am really tired and it will probably be a big update.
I have to tell you that I am starting to get tired of this whole “wave at every motorcycle” thing. It gets pretty tiresome when you have been riding pretty much nonstop for four days and it is really hot outside and you have already waved at 254,958 other motorcycles. So what I am saying is if you wave at me and I don’t wave back, I still loves you, I’m just getting bored with waving at people all day.
Usually if we are starting a ride like this on a weekday we will knock off work a little early. Since we were only riding to the other side of Columbus on the first night I decided to put in a full day at work. This was a mistake. You can not imagine how long of a day it was! Eventually quitting time came around and I made it home in record time. Can you believe Skidplate was not home yet? OK, no big thing, I still have a little bit of packing to do anyway. Skidplate got home just as I was finishing packing and all appeared to be well.
