Italian Lunch Ride

[Tundra]

 We were supposed to have a couples ride today...well three couples backed out for various reasons, always seems to be that way. I typically like riding solo, I have a more aggressive riding style and a passenger throws off my weight & balance. I headed out with the wife alone today, no other bikes. Boy we had a blast, I told her I'd take her anywhere for lunch
(just to get her out) She wanted Italian, never in my wildest dreams thought we'd find one in the woods. We did, and I never told her I didn't know it was there. I thought Italian was red sauce, spaggetti, lasagna, ect.. I got brazed beef tips, with onions, tomatoes peas and a sauce to die for. Wish I had my camera in the place for food shots for brother Strider. I always reserved my riding as a ME thing, really had a good time with the wife!
 She wanted to look at this baby Gator here


Well this thing comes charging towards her along the fenceline, what the heck is it? Looks like a hairless bull?


Found this cool little place for a rest stop



Then we ran into these crazy looking creatures in someones front yard, had to look this one up. They are Peruvian Sheep, or Alpaca's. Kindof cute and ugly all in one!


Some real nice scenery, travelled through Pinellas, Pasco, Western Hillsborough, and Hernando Counties, beautiful day perfect temps, high 70's.




Then we found another cool rest stop on the way home, they had everything. Sandwiches, deli, water, beer, ice cream, you name it. Nice folks, nice stop. All in all, we had a great day,

Hey thanks for sharing.  Great pics and post.

Been slaving at the gun show today, and in the yard for days.

I get to ride tomorrow.

Cools shots!  Thanks for sharing them bro!

What is that hairless cow?  A water buffalo?

Ya know, most people here will not even remember Sinclair Oil Company......Red's stepfather was a petrophysicist for them.

Kind of like, "Put a tiger in your tank"....lot's of folks won't remember that.
