Bike Night in Blackshear
#1
Last Friday of the month is Bike Night at our church. Everyone is invited and free hot dogs, hamburgers, desserts, cold drinks and plenty of sides are on the serving tables.

This started out small but has really grown the last few months. Last night after the meal, we had a short video on safe motorcycle control and maneuvering at low speed. A course was set up in the parking area with traffic cones and we all took turns running our bikes through the course. Many found their skills lacking and were surprised that it was harder than it looked. A couple of fellows, one on an Indian and another on a Road King made it look easy as they weaved through time and again without hitting a cone or missing a turn. I think everyone learned from this exercise plus there was a gift for the one judged best.

It was a fun evening.

Maybe I can steal some cones from a highway work site Banana
I suppose we could do some skills contests, but I'd hate to cause folks to drop their bikes.
