We just got our shiny new 2003 Suzuki Volusia motorcycles. As I was searching the Internet for riding tips and interesting places to ride, I ran across a web site forum that focused on the Volusia motorcycle. The members indicated that anyone was welcome to ride with them. My first thought was, "Yeah, this must be some type of gang initiation."
I cautiously agreed to go on the ride, but was very careful not to leave us vulnerable incase these people were dangerous biker types. I watched the Marlon Brando movie, “The Wild One”, so I would know what type of miscreant behavior to look for. I carefully planned an escape route and gave pointers I learned from the movie to Kim about avoiding confrontation with bikers.
Fortunately they decided to meet in a public place. We were among the first to show up (like always we were on time or early). Within 30 minutes the rest of the group arrived, and about a dozen of us headed to Daytona Beach for lunch and at a very rapid pace I might add.
I am not really good with names, but they all had code names they went by. I am not sure, but I think the leader of their gang is a guy called SaddleTramp. No one formally spoke of their duties, but it was clear to me each member had a function.
The enforcer and muscleman was a guy who goes by the name of Frog Slayer or something like that, he is one tough looking biker!
There was a Russian guy there too, CountJade, who seemed to be the brains of the organization.
SunnyJim seemed to be the quiet handsome type, so I definitely kept my eye on him when he was around my wife.
MasterJedi seemed to be the “cut-up” of the group, but I think he might be a dangerous one. He has a wild look in his eyes!
There was also, Barryc who I think was packing heat! Nuff said.
One of the scariest was a guy they called the Doctor. (I think doctor is a code word for “hit man”.) Oh, his woman was there too and sssshhhhh! Don’t tell him I said this, but she is hot!
Mr. Golf, a sinister looking fellow and I overheard them say he was the leader of the East Coast chapter.
I think the head of security was a guy that went by ROVPLT. I am not sure what it stands for, but frankly I was a little afraid to ask him.
I took my new hi-powered 1.3 megapixel camera along and snapped some pictures. See the album here!
