sorry. my bad. yes, it's in Ohio. I meant to put a link up; www.thunderonthestrip.com
also I woke up this morning and it raining! what's up with that! if it clears up we will go today. if it doesn't we will try tomorrow.
if we end up going tomorrow, that will make for a very busy day. first we have a 9/11 run to go on, then we would have to goto Geneva on the Lake for "Thunder and the strip" and then come back here to go to Jimmy's bar and grill for "bike night"! that's one busy day!

well, it cleared up yesterday so the wife and I went down to Geneva on the Lake for "Thunder and the strip". we saw three other vn750 there. there may have been more and we just didn't see them, because there were bikes every where! there were hundreds of bikes! it was just great.
when we finally found a place to park, an other couple that were riding parked next to us. after we got off the bike and took our helmets off, we noticed that we knew the couple that just parked next to us. it was some one my wife and I both knew from our childhood, before my wife and I ever met. we were like what are the chances that they would park next to us? this was was cool, because haven't seen them in awhile. we walked together for a little bit then we went our own ways.
we ended up seeing a lot of other people that we know too. it seemed that every time we turned around we ran into some one we knew. it was a real good time.
the wife bought a t-shirt, 2 pairs of safety glasses (1 for her and 1 for me) the glasses have a light blue tint to them. we needed some for night time ridding. we tried them out on the way home, they worked great!
she also bought a "butt buffer". any one ever try one of these "butt buffer" things? the wife used it on the back of the vn750 last night and said it made a difference. but we still have to give it a real test yet. when I do I'll leave a review here.
