I had sneaked the few beers I had with me onto the beach along Lake Michigan when she rode up on her Harley. It was a smaller model, but the fact she was piloting her own machine impressed me. I couldn't see her well behind the sunglasses and the helmet, but she was dressed in a form fitting tee shirt and jeans that showed off her slightly thick but shapely figure. When she took off her helmet and shook out her dark shoulder length hair, I was immediately interested.
I kept an eye on her as I discreetly (I thought) sipped on my contraband suds. She found a public water fountain, but grimaced after taking a drink, and began to stretch, working the kinks out of her back from riding. Evidently I was looking at her a little too closely, because she walked toward me across the sand.
"I could sure use one of those beers you're trying to hide, if you have one to spare," she said with a smile.
I grinned back at her. "I thought I was being discreet, but obviously I was mistaken," I replied as I reached into the cooler. "I thought my can cozy would camouflage what I'm drinking, but I guess it didn't."
"It was doing okay, but I can spot a Bud from a hundred paces. It's a hot day on the road and the water in that drinking fountain tastes like shit."
"You'll have to keep it hidden, because this is the only can cozy I have," I told her as I handed her a cold beer. "By the way, my name is Tim."
"That won't be a problem. I won't have to hide it for long." She took a long pull before sitting down on the sand. "I'm Sally, and I am grateful for your generosity. That tastes good!"
"How long have you been riding? It's a hot day, and I'm sure the sun really has the asphalt baking."
"I had a late breakfast in Traverse City this morning and headed this way, so I guess it's been a couple of hours straddling that Milwaukee vibrator," she grinned.
"No wonder you're in such a good mood," I laughed. "That's the way to get your day started out right!"
"You have no idea. Riding that thing has been known to really get me going. It's not like I can't pay attention to my riding, but there are times I have had to stop to cool down a bit for my own safety. It doesn't pay to let your mind wander."
Now she really was getting my attention, and I offered her another beer, which she gladly accepted. We sat there for about another hour, bullshitting and flirting, and before long, my six pack was gone.
"Oh this sucks," I told her. "Now I'm going to have to break camp just to make a store run to get more beer so I have some for tonight." She looked at me quizzically, so I explained. "I'm camping at the campground just over the dunes, and I have a small motorhome, so not only is it my camp, it's also my transportation. That's the bad thing about a motorhome...you either have to walk, or haul along other transportation, or break camp every time you need to go someplace."
"Well since I helped drink up your supply, I could take you to the store on my bike if you want. I've only had a couple so I can ride safely, but after that I had better give it some time to get out of my system."
"That would be great," I said. "I really hate having to break camp just to get a six pack, and I've had four, so I'm not real crazy about driving that wide ass camper when I've been drinking. I just came here by myself and thought six would get me through the day and evening, but it's always nice to have someone to drink with."
