Friday:  Since I am attending the Mother's Against Drunk Driving Law Enforcement Recognition Luncheon in Macon, I am sad to say scooter will not work.  However, this does give me the opportunity to ride GOHS's Law Enforcement Challenge Motorcycle; which happens to be a law enforcement equipped 2007 Harley-Davidson Road King.  This is the motorcycle GOHS will award to the law enforcement agency with the best comprehensive motorcycle safety program. 

The ride down I-75 was uneventful, which in motorcycle parlance means it was a great ride.  One thing I don't understand is why drivers seem to park it in the middle lane of three.  If we all worked to keep to the right, then there would be fewer traffic conflicts (a/k/a crashes) and peoples' nerves would be less rattled. 

There  were about 300 law enforcement officers, troopers and sheriff deputies at the event.  MADD gave the top officials awards for the great work they do to keep impaired drivers off our roadways.  Thanks you MADD and GA law enforcement.  P.S., they are pros, you really don't want to challenge them by drinking and driving.

The ride back was through Gray and Monticello, Georgia.  That was fantastic.  Great roads, very courteous drivers and going through some of Georgia's most picturesque towns.  If you get the chance and have the time, it is very much worth it to get off the interstates and see the real Georgia!  Check out my video-cast on Monticello.
