The July Bikes & Breakfast, for Poolesville, MD gathering occurred over the weekend. The 1st Sunday morning of each month motorcyclist collect in a Poolesville parking lot for a meet and greet.
This month my grandsons are in town, so I took the older one with me to the event. Taking the blue Harley Davidson, we rode the motorcycle the long route to Poolesville, on a beautiful bright day but very humid morning. We arrived about mid-morning and there were not a lot of bikes in the parking lot. At first, I thought maybe it was Covid-cancelled but we hung around to see what would happen.
By about 10AM the parking lot was getting full, I would guess there was at least 70 motorcycle on display. Besides the ubiquitous Harley Davidsons, there were the standard Triumphs, Hondas, etc. There were a bunch of custom bikes from café racers to bobbers.
The one motorcycle that stood out for me was a 1967 Moto Guzzi. A two-owner bike that is in remarkable shape for a very well ridden bike. Of course, it helps if the owner runs a vintage European Motorcycle garage.
When we left, we took the White’s Ferry across the Potomac river and head for the house. My grandson said he had a good time, but 14 year-olds…does one really know?
We recently discovered a motorcycle meetup called “
I JUST WANT 2 RIDE!!
