Sooooo........did you end up in jail, or get so intoxicated that you blacked out, or seeing that your age was an issue, you yelled "Yeah baby....yeah" then went home and to bed an hour later than normal??

I wore the evil clown jersey. It was Halloween-eve so everyone assumed I was in a fat old guy costume. No one took notice.

Nothing apocalyptic about Critical Mass. Me riding in it - that's another matter. :eek:

I file the whole thing under "mostly harmless" - with one minor exception. They went through the SD airport - effectively cutting off people from arriving from the airport for a fair amount of time. That's just plain dickheaded.

It was fun though.

So how many riders? Which bike did you ride? Any outstanding costumes?

Any knarley crashes, 911 calls? Blood? Fights?

Lots of cheering, honking, thumbs up?

Riding through an airport sounds different...

It's only different if they ride on the runway while that Southwest 737 full of drunk construction workers is coming home.

The End of Days was last week when not one but three guys were seen together on the most fashionable section of PCH in Solana Beach riding without helmets. :eek: :D
Man, you are adventurous. :thumb: But where is your proof? Any pictures?
