Well this morning the wife and I were getting ready to head out for a bit when all traffic in the area was stopped.
We're talking police cars and bikes were bombing around with lights and sirens screaming. Every road and entrance was blocked by these guys and gals. In our case we had a Moto-Cop sitting his Harley in front of our bike. He nodded to us as we waited. Then came the motorcade.
Ten Motor Cops riding in pairs followed by six unmarked cruisers with their lights going followed by three plain cars riding low and heavy. These were followed by six more cruisers and even more Moto-Cops.
We didn't know who this was but I did have a good idea. (We had heard he was coming to speak further south of us.)
Well later on we were riding south of us when we saw lights flashing ahead of us. I wasn't going to get wrapped up in this again so I looked for a parking lot and pulled in. When I looked around at where we had stopped I got an idea. We had pulled in to my favorite Cuban Bakery so I motored over and shut down the bike. We went in and placed our orders, half a dozen Empenada's each. After paying we strolled back out and standing next to the bike started eating as the lights and sirens came closer.
Much to my surprise the lights pulled into the parking lot followed by the unmarked cars. We stood there holding our bags and eating as they came to a stop at the restaraunt next door. Sure enough here came the bodygaurds quickly followed by Obama himself.
He must have seen us standing there because the next thing I know I'm standing there swallowing quickly as he comes walking over. We ended up talking for a couple of minutes before he went into the restaraunt next door. (Yes he did ask us about riding, and no he didn't ask us who we were voting for.)
I don't know who was more nervous when he came over to us. My wife or his bodygaurds.
After he went into the restaraunt my wife and I finished our lunch and waving to the security detail climbed on our bike and were off.
Oh and the bike seems to be running a bit better. Maybe all the Carb Cleaning Crap I dumped in the tank is working and I don't have to rebuild the carbs right yet.
