    And here's a little video of my short ride on Redfish's DR650. The last minute of it is the moment I pulled back up to the group.... It just might be the best part of all of it...

    Day 12, Monday- I slept wonderfully!! Woke up, walked down the hall for breakfast. And boy was that good!!! Biscuits and gravy just might be my favorite breakfast food…. On the road, through Louisville with no issues, and coming down the hill into Ohio. Cincinnati skyline is straight...

    Day 11, Sunday- Breakfast… And this morning Brian noticed his rear tire was flat… again. So Mike pulled out his compressor, and him, Nate, and Brian checked the tire over. Eventually finding a small hole in it. Nate plugged it up, Mike filled it up, and Brian was good to go! So on the...

    And after they were all by, I got to mount back up and give chase!!! Passed Marie who was pulled into the scenic overlook… And then caught up to Tyler. What fun to be following a friend through a curve and having another friend in your mirrors! And at the end of 281, it turns to narrow...

    Day 9, Friday- Breakfast at Shoney’s! It seems to be a thing that we end up at the long tables in the back… The bike stayed put today. Tyler, Wanda, Marie, and I all decided to not ride today. So we jumped into Mike and Wanda’s truck, which they were kind enough to offer to us, and for...

    Day 7, Wednesday- Today, we left the bikes sit. Threat of rain was right there, so we decided to jump in the truck and explore. Pops came over too! We head out, and we stopped at a bridge. It’s a spinning bridge! If a boat needs to pass, instead of lifting up, it will twist sideways. I...

    Day 6, Tuesday- Wake up, and mount up. Off we go on the bikes. Andrew had a couple things in mind for us to do… and I eagerly will go along with anything! I love these trees… Now, I was given a fairly extensive tree lesson… but do you think I can remember any of that now? Not really...

    Day 5, Monday- Breakfast in the hotel- they have biscuits and gravy!! And off I go on an adventure through the countryside of Mississippi. A website, roadsideamerica, brings attention to some weird and wacky stuff in the area in which you wish to travel. Found a town named Hot Coffee...

    Day 4, Sunday- I couldn’t sleep that night. Too much on my mind. So I packed my bags and headed out about 6:15am. It was dark. I had my all my lights on bright. I could see!! Made my way to rt 28, and rt 129. Got to the north side of the Tail of the Dragon, and stopped at the overlook...

    Day 2, Friday- After talking riding plans the night before, Rob and Marie were kind enough to let me tag along on their adventure. We made our way to a small town of Spruce Pine. There, they met with a realtor and we went and toured a house! We do a good job of parking 3 bikes into 1...

    EOM, LA, SFO That’s a lot of letters, but it means some pretty cool stuff. Night before- I’m packing. Which entails me grabbing a bunch of clothes and throwing them on the bed. The cat was amused by my antics… Day 1- Thursday morning, off I go! Obligatory departure photo… Left the...

    Heated gloves ,would you buy your's?
