It's now just past 7:00 PM and the grounds are now closed at Winter Place Park. I took these photos around 6:00 PM, showing just how quiet things were this evening.
Now I fully expect bigger and better things as we get closer to the weekend, should the rain hold off? I hear things are really kicking at Trader Lee's in Ocean City. It's always like that during Bike Week though.
Now, let's clear the air on a very important issue. Many are talking about no alcohol being at Winter Place Park and tonight I got the truth/scoop as to why. Some have tried pointing the finger at Sheriff Lewis and that couldn't be any farther from the truth.
It turns out, in order to get INSURANCE for this event, the Harley Davidson group that put on this event simply could NOT afford to pay for such insurance, therefore they chose not to go forward many months ago with alcohol. If anyone wants to point a finger at their being no beer, talk to the people at the Harley Davidson Shop in Ocean City. Case closed.
Oh yea it was kind of a crappy day today anyway. These days most riders have regular jobs and get out of the coat and tie for the weekend and a get together. Probably got everything polished up and don't want to slop it up on a wet road, grime etc.
ReplyDeleteA freind of mine's wife works at OC Harley it's a big week for them not only because of all the bikers, they take care of a lot of the organization, vendors bands etc. Really nice people there.
Kerry is probably busier than a dog with two peckers LoL nice guy though I know he loves it.
Why does everything in life have to revolve around alcohol? Don't people know how to enjoy themselves without a buzz? Beer and bikes, now thats a real good combination...NOT.
ReplyDeleteStay sober for a weekend, you might find you like it.
I've been to company picnics and family reunions at Winter Place where alcohol was served. Maybe it's ok to BYOB.
