Yuck.  The remaining men wore boots &#8212; and almost without exception, they were wearing black harness boots.  Most of the boots were of the Harley brand, but there were others in the mix as well.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there were leather vests with pins and patches galore, myself included.  No other leather anywhere to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>We stayed at my partner&#8217;s mother&#8217;s home.  My partner is hanging on for a few more days while I got a ride back in a car with some friends.  I didn&#8217;t ride my Harley up there &#8212; the weather was unsuitable and the ride a bit too long for me.  Plus, my partner can&#8217;t ride as my passenger at the moment, so it was just as well that I got a ride up there with him in his car. I&#8217;m glad to be back home.  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just spent a few days in Pittsburgh for a meeting at which a number of bikers attended.
