While Vince was chatting with me and my buds some dufus (do rag and goatee) yelled "Hey Carmine !". Holy sh*t. What a dipstick. Now , everyone knows Vince plays Johnny Sack, second in command to NY boss Carmine Lupertazzi (who is played by Tony Lip). So, Vince went over and straightened out Mad Dog or whatever the frig his name is . He did , of course, do it with grace and aplomb, befitting his repuation. He is one hell of a nice guy.
A couple of my friends, Anthony and his cousin Barbara keeping an eye on Vince's brand new Harley. Not even 100 miles on it. You can't see them, but parked directly in front of Vince's front tire were Paulie Sr's and Jr's (OCC) yellow HD's. They were also on the ride. I did NOT take any pictures of them.
Getting ready to move out. Yep, that's my lonely R in the foreground.
Tony and his new friends
These guys are "friends of ours".

It was a hell of a fun day, great party at a park on the Hudson River opposite NYC complete with live music and lots of good food. The ride itself was really kind of slow and not challenging at all, but it was certainly for a good cause, the Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital at the Hackensack University Medical Center. I was told there were about 8000 bikes total (almost all HD and about 2 BMW's). Met a lot of new friends (all HD types); already looking forward to next year's ride.
