Are you receiving email notices from MF. I'm not I have to look up my subscribed threads to see what's new.
No, I am not getting email notices either. So how was the cruise? I ended up spending the whole day painting the laundry room.

It was a good time. We lined up for the inaugural parade at 11:00 and it started rolling a little after 12:15. It was a charity event for the K9 unit so there were cops all over the place. There were about 20 motorcycle cops to lead the parade. There was supposed to be a fly-over from Selfridge but it never happened, that we saw.

It was a beautiful day and there was a good turn out but I didn't see any of the regulars there. I was hoping you and Jason would make it. I have some photos I'll post later today.

These are the cars that lined up for the parade lap. It was right next to O'Charley's in the Wal-Mart lot where we parked for the meet up for the Port Huron cruise. I didn't get any pix of the cruise itself.



Look at all the pretty bikes. As you can see we were well protected.









There were a few Mustangs but none of our regulars that i saw.

That Troy cop car is great. Looks like a pretty good turnout.

There were a lot of folks in the cruise but not so many that you just stand still. Ya, that Troy police car gets around to most of the events. I wonder how they exercise it... at the track or on the street?

Looked like a fun day. I might not hate so much getting pulled over by that cop car!
Thanks for the pics
