Nice rig, 'specially because  it tis a Virago. Interesting platform - didn't have chance to find out what it is from but seems to be a thick rubber runner of some sort.

Can you tell the rain finally started and was met with cheers all around.

Some Stuff From The Afternoon Line-Up
         
Would have come in handy if the rain would have become a full fledged typhoon..    
     
   
         
As it was it just rained coldly, steadily and rather damply for many, many hours under the scudding gray clouds But as usual, SKUNKS are resilient and adaptive critters.
         
Some simply donned rain gear and sat in the gentle spring rain but as the deluge increased they moved to the front porch. Kinda like waiting for the gunfighters coming down the muddy streets of Deadwood toward each other

Others used umbrellas to circle the park making sure to keep the speed down so as to avoid lift off.  10 --9 -- 8--7--6 --   --and it was noted and herein recorded that true to SKUNK fashion none sought refuge under the tent where dry chairs awaited.
         
As the dinner hour drew close, however, all assembled in a roofed but open pavilion (after all who wants their pork and beans or macaroni salad diluted) and watched.  motorcycle movies. Admittedly, we all could have stayed home, sat in a recliner, slippers dangling from one toe. snacks to the right, snacks to the left and libations to the front as oak logs blaze merrily in the fire place, casting a warm, golden glow throughout the room BUT that simply is not congruent with the SKUNK mentality. So we sat in the cold, damp winds, on cold hard plastic chairs, with occasional 100 yard trips for hot coffee and watched blurry, hard to hear bike movies until dinner,
         

 

 

Following an excellent dinner the traditional Saturday evening festivities began, leading off with a concert performed by siren and  whistle pipe sextets.

         
Various and sundry prizes were won or otherwise forced upon attendees, by the masters of ceremonies in their usual regalia:

 Let's see. Now just how does this work????

         

The audience watched  in some cases with barely concealed excitement and in other cases with apparent gas (remember the undiluted beans)

 
         
As prizes, including traditional SKUNK head gear, were awarded.
