Sounds like it was a good ol' Texas time.

Best 5 years of my Army career were spent at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio. Some great rides up in the Texas Hill Country.

Just minutes after I got joined up, the line Stops, hear a siren coming up on us, I had already pulled over and shut off, not sitting idling,, Someone managed to crash, tore it up, he's hurt bad, so we were told by a guy during a band break.
So, the last third of the riders got to the shindig pretty late.

But, while sitting, looked up and there's a sidecar,,
Hmmm, that kid looks familiar, looked at the passenger, Hmm, one of my daughter's friends,, we talked a bit,

On the road someone had a drone he was part of the event.
Video goes up Tuesday, pretty sure I'm going to to be in there.

So we head back to Longview, cars shut down, 18wheelers shut down, people on fences taking videos and waving,no telling how many places we are plastered on line, back of the pack, gives people a chance to think..

Hmmm, that is a Buncha dang bikes.. let me grab a camera..

So, get back to town and parade through town,people directing parking, they had more bikes than they were really ready for I think, some waiting to get directed to parking,then we lined a street,
The bands were good, the beer, $5.00 each, water $2.00 a frikking PINT,  $13.00 later I was ready for home.. it was cooling off, and from a just beautiful day, I got down to short sleeves, no thermal stuff,nice,, and from ten o'clock, it started dropping, the parking lot was full of people who were seeing what the ride home was looking like.

All in all, GREAT DAY,  and then, the clutch cable patch let go.

I Flintstoned it away from three lights, get rolling, step on the shifter and gas it,, and get to grabbing gears..
I knew it was flaky, but now I know that slug isn't good metal,it's gone anyway, I'll find something I can get a copper bushing on and solder up,
Sposeta have a new one Tuesday,
