I went to my first GWRRA Rally (or any for that matter) this weekend, the Mississippi Rally down on the Gulf Coast in Biloxi. Had an interesting time and Martena even came along with me! Although I was on the bike and she was in her car. It helped that I had to be in Hattiesburg for the first part of the week for a meeting, about half way to the coast. She came down for that in her car on Tuesday and we spent an evening with our son and his girlfriend. On Thursday we went on down to Biloxi. We visited friends by taking a few others for some great seafood in Bay St. Louis on Thursday evening. On Friday we went over to see other friends in Vancleave. The Rally was interesting and I bought a new seat from one of the vendors. The Wingsoft seat sets me back just a little bit and eliminates the bulge that Martena had to straddle sitting behind me. They also had a couple options for the backrest and she liked one of those a lot. I hope this will help her ride with me again and Martena plans on taking some short rides soon to see how it goes. The only riding I did was early on Saturday I headed out along the coast. I stopped at the Biloxi Lighthouse and watched the sun come up over Biloxi Bay. Right before the closing ceremonies Martena tried her luck at blackjack. She was up pretty good at first and really enjoyed herself. I just stood behind and laughed. She started with a little bit of money to loose and it took over three hours before most of it was gone. We had a good time and are really glad to be home.
Pictrures!
First; Biloxi Lighthouse, this in the median of Hwy 90 and was built in 1848.
Second; Dawn on Biloxi Bay from a casino parking garage.
Third; Lighthouse again with a real good looking motorcycle. Cruzin the Coast is going on at the same time and you can see one of the old cars going by behind the bike.
Fourth; Mr. Tommy getting ready for our chapter skit, lucky dude.
Fifth; My new seat. I think we will be very happy on future long trips together. My behind and that seat that is.....
