IT'S NOT THE CRIME - IT'S IF YOU GET CAUGHT!
THURSDAY! Guess what? It's Friday Eve so that means the weekend is here! Yes, we realize that you think everyday is a weekend for us on the Riding4Beer Magical Mystery Tour (sponsored by Bud-Bud-Budweiser!), but that's just not the case. We have a lot of stress being out here on the road for months at a time. There are critical decisions we make everyday, like which Waffle House to go to for breakfast, should we stay at Econolodge or Motel 6 and should we have dinner at Hooters or Hooters.
There's other stress out here too! For example, today we rode from Pensacola, Florida to Tallahassee, Florida where we're staying with our good friends, Katherine and John. No big deal, right? Well, along today's 250 miles we passed through Gulf Breeze, Florida to check out the site of the famous 1986 UFO sightings. So here's the rub - in this little town of about 6,000 folks, ALL residents are authorized to stop ANYONE and cite them for traffic violations (NOT KIDDING!). Folks that live there can even check out off duty patrol cars and drive around issuing tickets! We're not making this up! AAA lists Gulf Breezes as the top city in the United States where you're most likely to get a traffic ticket.
Just guess what kind of a chance we had of escaping a ticket riding a black Harley with California license plates. Can you say, "ZERO?" Fortunately, we had a plan. Look, everyone that lives there are cranky old people so we knew they'd all be having dinner at Denny's around 3pm (senior early bird discount time, baby!). That's when we made our move - we raced through town on Highway 98 and were in the next county before they could even get their walkers loaded in their PT Cruisers. We're safe in Tallahassee now, Katherine & John are treating us to dinner at Hooters (or is it Hooters?) and tomorrow?...

10% off breakfast at Waffle House if you sit in a booth! We took this pic and raced past the Denny's!
