Well, after that wonderful fist day what comes next??? How about some breakfast in this unique mercantile. Couldn’t help but smile at the signage :-). How to describe the place? I suppose it’s a modern day “Tourist’s General Store” in the form of a soft Cretan Labyrinth fueled by the siren of consumables rather...
So… this will be our big trip for the year. Hey, every wonder what to pack for a long motorcycle trip? We break things into two chunks: personal stuff, and common stuff. Personal things are, well, personal. Normal stuff like clothes and those hygiene items supporting civil society. Two people, two saddle bags, works...
Spring has sprung and we had some nice weather to get out in for a trip to North Carolina. Come on along...
Well, last day… Fairly light, only about 190 miles through Virginia, but first things first – need a little gas! Couldn’t help but wish we could have dropped into Bubba’s to see what kinda thangs was on the menu :-). Love coming across these gems waaaaay off the beaten path. This Dairy Queen has...
Well, off we go, unfortunately time to point north… Dipping out of Georgia and beginning to move through the South Carolina countryside I couldn’t help but notice a historical marker on the banks of the Broad River commemorating the Revolutionary War Battle of Fishdam Ford, which of all things, happened near the namesake ford...
Totally off the motorcycle subject, but… way cool if you ask me! After breakfast today this rig rolled in and set up. Turns out that Al needed some trees removed and found this team to do it for him. I’d never seen tree work done with a crane – it was fascinating and wicked...
Day 4, here we go! Light travel day today, only about 150 miles. It was just a bit much last night so we stopped, later start and meander along. Out of the mountains now so the terrain is flat, not supper interesting from a roads/riding perspective. Well, in no time we were on the...
Yawn, stretch, get those feet on the floor! Peek out the window, It’s looking oh so nice out there this morning. Well, let’s get those saddle bags packed up and ready. Before heading out we said good bye to our host, what a sweet lady. Another ‘classic’ AirBnB, normal folks practicing hospitality, seems to...
Good Morning! Well, first order of business is a cup of coffee, sit with me? :-). Then, as our brains awake the second thing is to start figuring out where to go today… so many choices! Ok, here is a logistics problem with the route planning… The PC/web browser version of Google maps allows...
Prelude Well, here we go… However, before you can go anywhere you have to have some kind of a plan, right? The outline of this ride coalesced around two ideas: last years Michigan trip and AIT graduation. We had such a fabulous ride last year we imagined something very similar for this year. Settled,...
