Last weekend, Michele and I went to Ocean City for a few days R&R. Much to our surprise there was a Motorcycle Festival, with 10,000 bikers that weekend. I was never asked the question so many times in one weekend! But everyone was quite friendly.

I noticed a lot of the larger gatherings had signs "NO COLORS!". I found myself wondering if my clan tartan was not allowed.

Good dose of respect....goes a long ways in those situations. Give respect and receive a pass.....show disrespect and get unwanted attention is how it usually ends up.

I need to decide if I am brave enough to wear a kilt on my bike....I guess tucking the front down is rule of thumb to prevent any unwanted pileups (no pun) while riding at speed.
