Stop on the trace to find out where we are. Ask me about river crossings on a shadow.

Needed gas, so I punch it into the GPS to get us to the closest station. We then get sent down some sort of park roads that are all gravel and then have to fjord a river. We stopped and Nate looked like he was going to shit his pants. I told him we could cross it and he told me that I would have to try it first. We made it, it was fun, reminded me of being kids and having little adventures on our bikes back home. I had the biggest shit eating grin on my face for the rest of the day thinking about it.

Finally made it to a gas station where we followed an Amish gent in. What did that guy need at a gas station? Dunno, but he checked out our bikes from his buggy and had a bitchin' beard.

Video of Nate crossing the river to come soon

Food stop at pucketts grocery. Then down the road til we need a gassy pissy stop.

The Renegade

So I am all, "I want to carry my tent on my bars, like Lorenzo Lamas, you know the renegade(yes I know it was a bedroll, but my sleeping bag is too fluffy)."

Melissa is like, "Who? Just strap it to your backpack and add the passenger seat and figure out how to secure it all to the seat."

I look at her sternly and growl, "The Renegade".

Then I ran into the garage while she was putting the worlds greatest fuck trophy to bed and strapped it on for a test.




I might have to go buy a long hair wig for this ride. We will bring vigilante justice to eastern Kentucky. That is, of course, if the world doesn't end tomorrow.

Taking KY by storm

Okay here is the meet up:

exit 110(state road 60- winchester road) off of i-75. wendys was the first label to show up when I zoomed on the googles, so I figure meet there and grab lunch either there or somewhere around, looks to have a bunch of stuff.

here be some routes I have found. also found some nice rides via sundaymorningrides.com as posted on this blog months ago.

Motorcycle Roads (KY): State Highway 700, Cumberland Falls
Motorcycle Roads (KY): Williamsburg, Big South Fork
Motorcycle Roads (KY): Southeastern Williamsburg
Motorcycle Roads (KY): Northern Williamsburg
Motorcycle Roads (KY): Central Williamsburg
Motorcycle Touring Kentucky
Red River & Nada Tunnel : Kentucky Motorcycle Rides
KY 499 to 52 - Richmond to Beattyville: Kentucky Motorcycle Rides

I downloaded some pdfs too I will print with some other routes from the ky state site.

basically good rides everywhere, so we will carve up the national forest as much as we can and pop out anywhere for some nice rides.

Of course All of this is just suggestions and if we meet up and find something else to do, I'm down with that too.

At that Oreilly's in Chapel Hill, we stopped across the street at the funeral home when you guys were here last. It was running a vw beetle engine.


Has "R.F." on the scoop above the headlight.

3Fiddy ammo can mockup

I have 3 photos attached of the ammo can going fore and aft, and then three more going port and starboard. I liked the way it looks port and starboard.

Ideally, I would have liked a box double the width, but this could definitely hold a pop, a snack, and some tackle box trays.

I have some ideas for a rod holder too.

I am working on ways to make it a quick-detach without emptying it too so you could use it as a tackle box.
