Paducah Four Rivers Harley ride

We met at Abundant Grace Fellowship today for one of their scheduled rides.
Funny thing is... None of the church organizers showed up. Seems Phil and Woody and their wives went to Gatlinburg!!
SO, we gathered together to decide who was going to lead us on this ride and it seems John Gibson was elected.
He did a great job and directed us through as few traffic signals as possible.
Tommy and Alice Carr, Eugene and Linda Giffin, John Gibson, Bob Trover and a couple I failed to get their name went.
The guy that rode is also a member of the HopNmad motorcycle club here in town and I met him one morning last week at the donut shop and invited him on this ride. He knows John and Rhonda too.
(I'll do better with new peoples names on my next self improvement exercise!!!)

So, we arrived at Four Rivers to a pretty good crowd. There were LOTS of members of the Sons of Silence Motorcycle clubs from Kentucky, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and seems like some other state too.
These are the "one percenters"...
What that means is .....99 percent of motorcyclists are Law abiding citizens..... They are not.
The wear a 1% patch on their vests and are very proud of their memberships.
Everyone that I encountered were polite and got along with everyone else.
I did notice one guy that had a very large knife in his back pocket, a clip on knife in his left front pants pocket and another clip on knife on the lower right front side pocket. That was all I SAW....




See the red bandana? It has a padlock tied to the part in his pocket. Used like a blackjack or billy stick, will knock you out faster than you can blink!



There was free burgers and hotdogs and water there too. not bad for free.
We stayed there about an hour or so and left.
Got caught in a sprinkle for about 10 minutes or so on the way back and then seemed to out run the rain.
