SUNDAY BREAKFAST RIDE (JUL 2010)
Fury Nadine - always inventive - utilized her Fury Goddess skills and pulled up a locale in sunny Arlington Heights - Fury Sue and I met - as we were both late - and headed out together figuring we would be better able to repel a Furied Nadine together rather than separate.
I often marvel at the things I can now do on my Motorcycle. In May of 2007 I was precariously perched on my Ducati Monster - afraid to scratch my nose for fear of careening out of control. July 2010 I find myself attempting to reach out and catch Sue's bandanna thingy as we hurl down the highway at 70+ mph. Sorry Sue it didnt fly upwards - it went right off your head and down on the pavement.
The Uptown is a traditional diner - the food was eye catching... but the taste - not so much. Which is too bad - because parking on a Sunday was easy peasy. Nadine was EXCITED beyond everything to get a chance to go and play poop games. Poop was the theme - as Fury Janet, the only other potential playmate, sent us a text that she was "too pooped" to come out and join the fun - pool day schmool day. We all tried to coax her out but to no avail... the pools gravity pull was too much and Janet wasn't budging... THIS TIME. We did have a Furyious Discussion that maybe in the future when we try to plan stuff that people say if they are in or out - that way we can all plan - but if you people say they are out - and are suddenly in - that they should know they should still come... ok it made more sense over the fabulously looking french toast that had no taste... we can make it clearer when next the Furies Focus.
We sent Nadine off on time to play poop games and other baby shower events. Sue and I were agreement we probably have never seen Nadine soooo excited to do something before ! Well... maybe lancing anal glands... or having to talk to Tori alone about 3 Piece Clubs... other than that... nothing more!
Sue and I set off to find Fury Caryl - who would be available to ride after 1. Arguing with Fury-ette Elaine (my stupid GPS) we wound our way over hill, over dale, thru Barrington to Elgin then down Rte 25 to the Fox Lake. Sue ya wanna turn here? OK... Sue ya wanna see the historic center of St Charles? Sure (all 3 buildings).. . Sue ya wanna see the biggest ball of twine? No, but I do know where the statue of Dick Tracy is!.... Dialing up Fury Caryl via our Fury Communicators. .. we got nada.... so using our terrestrial texting we learned that Caryl was ... "busy" ..
So... What are 2 Furies with only the open road to do? Well Ride it of Course Sillies!
Off we went with Elaine jibber jabbering and we ended up at the Home Stretch Inn - where Sue was quickly brought into the Home Stretch Inn Crew... We joined them for a Birthday Ride .... well... Ride is up to definition.. flying down River Road like our hair is on fire could describe it... or I could say ... we rode with Boys... that should help describe the scene... bikes in either lane; Stagger a suggestion rather than required, leaving people at lights - you name it... Sue is down a pair of gloves due a tragic Fury forgetful moment. I did impress myself wiht a quick swerve thinking I was avoiding a pipe or something in the road.. but when the second thing came flying off I realized it was a glove. I dont know about Sue, but I have to say I pined away for a Fury Formation! I mean SERIOUSLY... thank goodness Sue is the easy going Fury she is! I was over it by the time we got to the destination. .. CC's Grove in Orland Park - give or take.
This place... is where Biker Time stood still... I had promised Sue we would meet "guys" ... yea... well who knew most of them would be in Assisted Living... and the only way they have their own teeth - is through a payment plan!!! Yea... Geriatric Biker City for SURE... Sue got regaled with some salty stories... the use of interesting adjectives made for quite the afternoon. I was lobster red - but as we were under a tent - I can assure you it did NOT come from the sun! The Home Stretch Crew were all very kind and took care of us.
The Skies turned ominous so Sue and I made the first right decision of the season and opted to head home! We beat feet to Chicago - cruising Lake Shore Drive - an idyllic setting as the boats bobbed along the Oak St Beach... which makes me always wonder... why ANYONE would pay so much for a boat - and then ONLY sit at Oak Street... bobbing... all day...
Sue and I were in and done around 10 hours after we started... but with a mere 100+ miles
Wishing our other Fury Sisters could have come out to play, but content that we represented the Fury Spirit!
