Thor's Roar 2009 Lindsborg, KS

Pat, Neil and I journeyed to Lindsborg this morning for a Biker's Breakfast.  Guess 9am must have been too late because the breakfast buffet was looking bare but we gave it a go just to support the city of Lindsborg.  This rally had been rained out the first two years so we wanted to do our share.  Don't think the cafe was prepared for all the business.

Fairly typical rally, lots of loud Harleys, black leather and some nice customs.  The Patriot Guard Riders made an entrance with flags flying, impressive as always.  Just a random thought here but how is it that all the motorcycles rallys have this military connection?  The PG has their thing where they recognize the vets and active duty people, that's all well and good but what does it have to do with motorcycling?  For anyone reading this that doesn't know me I am a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer with almost 23 years of active duty so I feel qualified to speak.  I guess I just get tired of all these leather wrapped, bad ass looking wanttobe bikers representing my military.  nuff of that rant

They had a good turn out of vendors, maybe even more than the rally in Marquette.  One lap around the two blocks they reserved for bikes and vendors and we saw about all there was to see so we let the wind blow us home before it got too hot.
