I know this means a lot to you guys across the pond so happy 4th of july from me in the U.K may you all be safe and enjoy a great day :bounce1: :union jack:

happy independence day from me too.

Thanks fellas.

I started the day at a Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) mission escorting the body of a retired USMC Colonel, then standing in a flag line for him.

After the 'mission' I went for a long ride with two other PGR members who weere there and who also ride scooters.

SO....where are the fireworks!!!!

Over there on the big island you are just a tad ahead of us. As I write this it is just 8:11am local on the fourth. I may go out to a fireworks show, but am not all that overwhelmed with fireworks. I can do without them.

I once was near a Multiple Launch Rocket System battery and an 8-inch howitzer battery that was doing some prep work ahead of a push forward. That was a show! Everything else pales in comparison.

Thanks guys !!! We don't plan on going to the fireworks this year, since maybe cities have stopped them. But we had a cook-out just now and had burgers and stuff. I hope everyone has a good 4th, and if you ride, be safe.

We dont celebrate over here but we had a BBQ and ive had a few glasses of red for you guys and girls :beer:

I thot red was more commonly known as bitter?

Im talking wine but no smileys drinking wine sorry, not a great lover of bitter

I was in a pub in Yorkshire not too long ago enjoying some of the best cask-conditioned bitter in the world when I noticed most of the local guys were drinking Bud!

I find bitter too heavy I like a lighter beer some nice ones in Belgium (Leffe) also like peroni(which i will be testing in three weeks when I go to Italy Mmmm)

Just found this thread... And a happy fourth of July from me too... Even if a bit belated....
