6/29 – Midwest Providence Reunion
107 miles. My mind wasn’t in the ride when I pulled away from the Motor Drome, but it was so good to see former Providence-ites, Steve and Amy, in their new home. We poked around Lafayette, Purdue, and West Lafayette for a bit, and just had a low key...
6/28 – Goodnight, Motor Drome
46 mile jaunt to Beanblossom, IN, to see the Wall of Death folks again. Great to be able to find them again in Indy, and meet new people at the event, too. Yep, camped out in the Drome itself. Yep, there’s a scooter at a bike rally....
6/27 – A Familiar Face!
161 miles, and into a city again. It just so happened Nick was in town from Providence, RI, visiting family in Indiana. It was great to spend time with him, catch up, and get a local tour of his old stomping grounds....
6/26 – Camping Isn’t So Bad…
79 miles to Bardstown, the bourbon capital. Admittedly, the appeal of camping is mostly lost on me, unless it involves scooters, motorcycles, and/or booze....
6/25 – Playing Catch Up
Overcast and a bit rainy today, so I toured around locally, ran errands, and caught up on work stuff. I stopped by Vespa Lexington for some supplies, and ended up chatting for a while! Mike and Jason are great guys, it was cool to hang out on a low...
Florida Part 1, To The Keys! May 31 – June 3, 2014
I forgot to screencap my map at Key West, it was so rainy. After recouping in the safety and comfort of friends, new and old, in Atlanta, it was time to continue adventuring again. My sights were set on a big state, Florida, and admittedly I wasn’t sure I...
6/24 – Buffalo Trace Distillery Buddy
One of my favorite distillery tours here, and not just because it’s free – I squeezed into the hard hat tour. Also, met another bourbon fan, Stefon, who has been on the road 9 months! ...
6/23 – Triple Nickel
272 miles. The Triple Nickel is no Tail of the Dragon, but it’s a plenty fun road. Had a great time following Matt on his shiny sea-colored Vespa along this route, much thanks for his local insight. Lots of nice roads today that I wouldn’t expect to find in...
6/22 – The Great Conical Mound
134 miles, and getting thinky up here. I was happy to follow Matt and Ali to Parkersburg, WV for a night – it lessened the rally withdrawal, to get to hang out in his garage talking scoots. ...
6/21 – Fail Ramp
Today’s lesson: Everyone around me needs to wear a helmet, and I need my own rally bike. Also, the Law of Gravity: Obey it. ...
