Happy Trail(er)s

The seasons spin by the older I get.

Sometimes I feel like the disappearing man.

It's the annual "bike fest" here on the island again, and the fuckers are showing up en masse. High dollar RV's and trucks, pulling trailers loaded with high end Harleys that only get ridden a couple of times a year.

Some of these people tow their two wheelers hundreds, maybe thousands of miles to their destination here at the "roar by the shore" so that they can ride up and down Padre Boulevard, a total distance of something like 6 miles. Real easy riders.

On Saturday they have a bike parade scheduled. They all act naughty, blasting over the causeway, and up the street to climax over at the convention center.

I have a novel idea for them this year.

Why not have a trailer parade? Cut through the crap. Their trailers get a lot more highway miles than their bikes anyway.
