Wildwood 2007

[beeZLbub]

Went down to the "Roar to the Shore" in Wildwood, NJ last weekend and it was a blast! Me & my wife, Kim on our ZL, my buddy Bob on his ZL, my cousin Sonny on his '99 Ninja ZX-6 and my two buddies Matt ('97 Suzuki Bandit 600) and Garrick ('81 Honda CB750K) all cruised the backways of South Jersey en route to Wildwood we went a little out of our way because we wanted to take Rt 666 ;). We ended up on the Ocean Drive at Sea Isle City and into WW. The Ocean Drive offers spectacular views of the bays and the ocean.

It was a crazy, crazy bike scene - thousands of bikes lining the roads as far as the eye could see. The parking lot at the convention center was filled with bikes as well. But out of all of those bikes, the only two Eliminators I came across were the two we rode in on! :)

Wildwood is known for it's strict police presence, but it seemed to me that they were having just as much fun as the rest of us. Tons of bikes cruising up and down the strip - bikes of all shapes, sizes & makes. Cruisers, choppers, sportbikes, trikes, more V8-powered bikes than I've ever seen in one place, sidecars everything on 2-3 wheels imaginable.

Here are some pics:

Lined up to leave. Missing are Garrick & his CB750.

Out of all the crazy customs that were there, the only two bikes that got me excited enough to actually take pictures of were a pair of old CB750 choppers! I love the look of an inline 4!

Route 666 runs through the Pine Barrens - home of the Jersey Devil!

beeZLbub (my screenname, but also what I call my bike) was quite at home on that route... I did have a funny little incident where I went into a curve on Rt 666 a little hot and it suddenly dipped, the bike unloaded and I ended up touching more of the shoulder than I wanted to!

>yikes<

too much devil worshipping here for me, so let me say a prayer. Dear Lord, where there are 2 or more Zl's gathered it shall be called a ZL church. Pray continuously to yourself to keep the dreaded succubines called harley away. Pictures also need to plentiful and bountiful Let me hear a loud halliluhia kawasaki...Amen.
