The Big Duck

After the sun disappeared today, I went on a 100-mile motorcycle ride to see the annual holiday lighting of our legendary Big Duck. The event was festive and crowded.

On the way there, I stopped for dinner at my parents' favorite restaurant, Cliff's Elbow Room, and had its famous marinated steak. Fifty years ago, my parents took me there and those memories are poignant.

Special thanks to the heated seat on my K1600GTL. It feels like sitting on a radiator -- which is valuable when you're sailing through cold air at 80 mph.

  2. OMG! That looks like half a cow you're eating! Slathered in BUTTER!!! If that isn't an early Christmas present for a big carb and meat eater I don't know what is.

    I think I gained 10 lbs just looking at that plate of food! Ha ha!
