Friday, the Spyder Wife and I set out for a overnight-er down to Augusta, KY from our home in Hocking Hills, Ohio. We take back roads as much a possible to enjoy the sights and enjoy curves with shade. Our first stop was Aberdeen, OH. for a photo of the Maysville Bridge looking south over the Ohio River.
Next we crossed over and enjoyed Lunch at Delite's Diner in Maysville, KY. A 50's Style diner with great food and music.
After lunch we jumped back over to Ohio and continued to Augusta, KY. Back roads again zig zaging from waterfront up high in the woods. One road (221) just North of the Higginsport Ferry had a stone wall that went for miles. This must have taken a lot of work back in the day.
As the 4pm "Check In time at the "Augusta Guest House" had just past so we jumped on the Ferry and crossed over to the great little town of Augusta, KY. where food, music and friendly folks live and enjoy the river life.
After check in and showers we walked down to the new "Beehive" restaurant$$$ for happy hour and dinner sitting out side with a river view.
We finished and walked around town checking out the "American Queen" cruse ship that was docked for a few night stay.
As the sun was closing we enjoyed the sunset by the river.
We then walked back to the hotel enjoying the outdoor band playing at the Augusta pub and crashed for the night. In the morning we loaded up had breakfast outside at the General Store, ferried across to Ohio and returned home.
Total miles 440- 1

Spyder lady and I returned from our Little Switzerland, NC. 13-18th. trip yesterday afternoon. "1623miles total" just missing the rain by minutes. We decided to blast back 429miles via Interstate 77&64 to beat the rain and not do a overnight in-route. Had a great time riding the curves of the NC/TN area with local knowledge routes set up by the "MSTA" org. The Big Lyn Lodge was fan f'in fantastic with great meals and accommodations. MSTA provided a great local classic rock band outside overlooking the mountains on Saturday night that caused me to over consume the wine and beer, but I was still able to dance outside with Spyder lady while wearing flip flop's. We road over to Erwin, TN. area to visit the Unaka Mountain Overlook, that I found when I road the Smokey Mountain 1000 adventure section. So I was able to make it up to the top on the Z1K but Spyder made it 3/4 and waited for me to get the photo. FYI, Erwin, TN. is another good base to do ADV stuff. Great time. The Z1k work well with soft bags strapped on we had no issues.

Sure did buddy. It was a solo ride though. Sorry I didn’t hear anything from you so I figured you weren’t interested.
I told you I was interested and was hoping to ride a NEW ROUTE with you. Not the same old "Sweepers are for Sleepers" track day route you love to ride.
But Nooooooo, Nothing...... No start time or specific location. WTF I was willing to overnight in Cadiz, Just to "feast on the east" with you and your CBR mit big ass bag. Then maybe have lunch at.......What is it, O yea, Ar-bee's and maybe since you ride a gold wing NOW we will have to take on some tasty Ice at bastard & robins. Go ahead Loan wolf McDurk we stand by at your ready to ride your 6 and make sure you get home. 1.5lbs heavy-er.🤪
Love B-Mac

Great Ride with Big Ohio today. 9am blasted out to Marietta on 550. Then did a section of ADV riding in Washington and Monroe Co. Lunch in Matamoras. Then back thru Noble Co. and Blasted home on SR78. 200 plus miles. Saw a LOT of flood damage and repair on all roads. Thanks Steve for riding along. Great Day.

Is it really the insurance company? or do I smell shit being wafted toward me.
Edit>>> Post 1 bottle of Cab Sin of wine. Oh! I'm sorry your fucking sign stated "Service Center!!" Well I need Service on my worn out rear fucking tire. I would like to replace it with this new tire that I received from my wife as a anniversary present.
I will pay you for your bullshit environmental disposal fee of my old tire that will be ground up and used for mulch. Oh and yes you can charged me also for your fucking "Shop Supplies" bullshit that makes it's way on my invoice. Oh shit, wait a fucking minute, you can't service my needs because I have not purchased this tire from you??? So.... "Service center" $55.00 a hour is not a real deal for a 20min tire change?- 1

TIRE WHAT!!!!!
I went to my local bike shop "Top Dog Performance Cycles" Who has changed (est.20) tires for me when I am too lazy to use my NoMar changer, (that I sold last year)
I like to use local shops when I can to help them stay open. But today I am told that If I did NOT purchase the tire from them, He cannot change the tire due to his insurance company's liability rules. Note: same response from Pony Powersports 4242 Coonpath Rd NW, Carroll, OH 43112
Are YOU F___ing kidding me. IS this a scam or has the world gone Mad?
Big Ohio has offered me the use of his changer so that we can Adventure ride this Sunday as the weather cools.
