Some 20 miles have pasted without incident. But for some unknown reason the convoy slows down to a crawl. Nothing is said on the radio. The slowing down of the convoy also quiets it down until a new sound comes into the ears of those driving or awake. The sound of loud engines of motorcycles. Many motorcycles, in a longer line than that of the convoy which is almost a mile. The odd thing about this motorcycle group is how they are riding: loaded with passengers, cargo and gear; some with trailers, other with sidecars, few with both. Some are 2-wheel motorcycles (with or without side cars), others are 3-wheer motor-tricycles. They were all on some form a motorcycle despite having various car and truck parts. They all seemed to be heading to Center Town.
Though the convoy slowed down to allow sharing of the road with the motorcycle convoy, radio contact with them was kept at a minimum. Upon seeing them, Fernando takes his CB Microphone and makes sure it is on one of the public road channels, 18 in this case.
“2-wheel convoy, this is The Doctor. What is your heading?” Fernando repeats a couple of times.
There were several moments of static filled silence before somebody answers.
“This is The Leader. You’re the last rider on your convoy in the white Chuckwagon?” The voice on the radio replies.
”I am.” Fernando answers.
“We heard so much of you and your group.” The Leader replies.
“All of it good I hope. Just in asking, however, where are you and your group heading too?” Fernando says and asks.
“Ha ha... Much of what we heard is good. We’re heading into Center Town before heading to Sturgis for the 2-wheel rally there.” The Leader explains.
“We will be heading to Sturgis in about a week’s time. We just have to make a couple stops around here first.” Fernando explains.
“Sounds great. We’ll be at Center Town for a few days, maybe we can meet up and hitch up our convoys together.” The Leader replies.
“Let see what happens in a few days.” Fernando replies.
“Yes.” The leader replies.
“This is the doctor, returning to radio silence. Out.” Fernando transmits.
The radio frequency becomes silent, and both convoys eye each other as they pass by one another, more out of curiosity than as a threat one has to defend themselves from.
It takes over an hour and a half for the convoys to pass each other, because the convoy is only as fast as its slowest vehicle. Seeing their last vehicle, they can see why they are travelling so slow.
