Title: Waffles and Wanderings 3/20/21
Post by: LawnmowerRG on March 12, 2021, 07:31:35 AM
So this is the standard thing for this ride.
Meet at Waffle House Moody Alabama. This is the one beside the Circle K/in front of the Publix.

KSU at 8:15.

Route is all paved back roads. There will be a little dirt in places and some potholes 🕳, but passable to all bikes.

End time will be approximately 10 am at The Bike Shop when we open.

Pace will be +5.

I think that I will try to make this ride.
I have been having some trouble with my leg. Went for an MRI last Friday, and am awaiting word from my doctor on what they found.
Since my V-Strom is having some charging issues, I'll be riding the 690. If I am not there by KSU time, don't wait for me. It will mean that the vibration from the mighty 690 was too much for my leg.

Was also thinking about visiting the Barbers museum after the ride, since I missed going there during the cancelled Vintage days last year.
From what I have been hearing, there is a new tourist attraction at that exit.... Bucky's seems to be the happening place now.. :D

I hope the leg is good and you can join us.

Barber is worth the visit.
I have been in the Bucee's. It is Just a big gas station. The food is pretty good but you can find better if you want. The diesel fuel is cheap the other local places.

Nice little group. I really enjoyed the ride yesterday morning. Thanks for coming all the way down Johnny. I hope you and Sandy had a great day.

It was a long day that started very early, but I really enjoyed the ride and hanging out at the shop.

When I got to Sandy's RV, we sat outside and in the middle of a conversation, she claims I fell asleep. I don't remember that happening. She sent me to bed for the afternoon. After a couple hours sleep, I had to take her to dinner.

Note to self, don't fall asleep during conversations.

Thanks for putting this together. I really enjoyed the ride.
Afterwards my visit to Barbers was also most enjoyable. I had to park my bike in the outer area, since the "circle" was completely full of bikes.
Something else I would like to recommend. I stopped for lunch at the Filipino BBQ place on hwy119 and Ziegler rd. Its the same guy who had a food vender trailer, at the 2019 Barbers vintage event. His BBQ chicken on a stick is very good.
