Today was something a little different. We met as usual for breakfast then adjourned to the Plant City PD practice pad.
As we gathered for some parking lot drills, Tommy Traffic brought out a new piece of test equipment.
Powered by a 1203cc V-Twin, this special duty cycle is designed to travel a variety of surfaces from highway to dirt roads. Interestingly, the Ulysses carries its fuel inside the frame rather than in a traditional gas tank. That allows the cycle a lower center of gravity. The high ground clearance supposedly allows the Ulysses to go where a Road King dare not tread.
We eventually moved on to the pad, replacing the usual traffic cones with tennis ball halves to protect our more delicate street bikes from the indignities of contact with the unforgiving traffic cones.
After a couple of hours of much needed practice, we headed to Lakeland for a very enjoyable lunch at Mojo’s. The food was excellent, the prices fair and the service was unique.
Next Saturday we will be heading to Leesburg.

Glenn, you are a true wordsmith! Anyone who could arrive at "unique" to describe our service is a credit to the blogging movement. Of course, I could think of a few other words, but they might be far more descriptive and problematic than "unique".
