RHH Ride Report/pics

[Skinhead]

Binkie and I met at 9:00 and headed south, met up with John in Oregon, Oh.  Gassed up and took the back roads to Wooster, stopped for BBQ, and continued on Rt 212 and 800, both excellent roads for Ohio.  I learned that GPS sucks and we wound up in Sistersville, OH where we took our first pics, took the Sistersville ferry across the Ohio River into WV.





Took rt 18 to Clarksburgh, just missing the rain, wet roads all the way to the motel.

Met up with GIG and his sister Carmen, later in the evening, the next morning


We rode route 20 (awesome), stopped in some little town park along the way,




stopped to take some pics by some lake





and continued down to 460, to 16

The rescue squad was cleaning up after somebody on a Shadow lost it on 16, but we made it to the motel unscathed where we met up with the usual suspects.  This link will take you to the all the ride photos

After much drinking and laughing dinner was Mexican and the next morning the ride started on time.  I didn't get any photos at the motel, so nothing can be proven in a court of law.  Sunday we headed south with SmokinJoe and Company for a spirited ride (not a race) thru Shady Valley, several photo ops along the way









We had left ground zero @ 0900, after we split from Joe & Co.  we got lost on some back roads near Bristol and @ 1200 we were about 25 miles from GZ and still had to make Parkersburg, WV, so we slabbed it and got to the Motel about 2100.  Next morning we rode 555 to Zanesville, where we had breakfast and gave the rain storms a chance to catch up with us.  Rained all the way to Monroeville, OH, but we didn't mind, because it beat the HELL out of working.  Made it home to Troy about 1530.

Had a GREAT time!  Thanks Joe, Don, Tracy, and Wolf, for putting this ride together.

Sorry I took so long to post, but I flew out to Yuma, AZ the day after we got back, this was the first chance I got.

Thanks Carmen for being the official trip photographer.

That is a lot of work putting all those Photobucket Pics on screen and not just on a link.

Been there done that and got a T-Shirt.

Also I noticed quiet a variety of different makes and models of motorcycles in your pics.

But I still like the Pittsburgh Steelers Decal on the front of your bike,

as a child, mom and dad loved Terry Bradshaw and the rest who made those holidays and Sundays special.

Good Job.

Thanks Big Al, too bad you didn't join us. 

Thanks Joe, enjoyed riding with all y'all.  I do like Pittsburgh, but I think I could live in Dixie too.  I see what you Rebels like about it.

Thanks for the compliments Mike and ValkFlyer

Ya know, I got a little story about the first time I met Gig's sister Carmen.  I thought she had a lovely name and told her so.  She said,"My real name is Theresa, I changed my name to Carmen, because I wanted to be named after the things I love the most, Cars and Men." 

I said, "Now that's quite a coincidence, because I did the same thing.  My parents named me Joe, but I changed it to BJs TitznGolf!"
