Welcome to Johnny’s Oasis – May I Take Your Order?
“Yea, uh… can I havvvvvve… two large hay shakes? Uhhhh…? Gimme a couple two-tree-uh-dem cactus poppers and uhhh… a large order of oats. To go.” I swear, you see the damnedest things out there...
New Jersey Mail Pouch Barn Spotting
One of the good things about Mail Pouch Tobacco barn hunting is that barns is that, well, barns are usually at farms. Farms are often on rambling roads. For a suburban motorcyclist – that...
Wonder Woman Rosey and Menacing Santa
This place has it all. I’d passed this house in Lee, Massachussets several times before on the Berkshire Dual Sport rides. Even though my friends know me well enough to realize that coming across...
Get a Load of This Big Brown Beaver
Sometimes you’re just riding along minding your own business and a 6ft beaver shows up. Happens all the time, right? I rolled up on this guy in Lee, Massachusetts. “Is that a squirrel?” Kenny asked....
Mission: Lake Vanare, New York Muffler Man
Since I feel like I need to work on my sit-still stamina a bit, riding over 250 miles to see a refurbished Muffler Man seemed like as good a reason to get out of...
Roof Cows, Rust and Donkeys at Cool Springs Park
The very first time that I ever saw any reference to the Cool Springs Park store on Rt 50 in West Virginia was on Kathy’s blog – Appalachian Tours. I had no conscious intention...
I Got the Boot… Three Times
Sometimes I’m not sure if I get on some sort of unconscious jag that makes me seek out groupings of things or if I just happen to be moving across a sticky thread of...
Sights from the Road: Art Car Extravaganza!
On Friday night how could I have possibly known that when I spotted the Cupcakemobile in Westhampton that it would be the …wait for it… waaaait for iiiit… icing on the cake? Oh, yes....
Space, The Final Frontier – These are the Voyages of the Fuzzship Tigerprise
At first glance – you see this picture of my (lovely if I do say so myself) Tiger and think Okay, it another picture of her (lovely if you do say so yourself) Tiger. But...
Roadside Snapshot: The Big Little Apple of Thaxton, Virginia
With only a single bar left on the gas gauges, Kenny and I hopped off of the Blue Ridge Parkway in search of gas. After a few stabs at the screen, we followed the...
Check One Off The To Do List: Backbone Rock
Though I had jotted Backbone Rock down on my list of things to see when we left home, sometimes the wind takes you elsewhere. In the days and miles that had already passed it...
Roadside Sights: Pal’s Sudden Service
Could there possibly be a better fast food chain facade than the one used by Pal’s? Nahhh, I don’t think so. Can you even handle the greatness of the big hot dog… the soda…?...
Sights From the Road: Goats on the Roof
At this point, I think Kenny is just messing with me. When I followed the GPS and turned on Ridge Rd to head into the town of Helen, right there on the corner in...
Day 4: NC 209 With a Little Luck
North Carolina 209 has been dubbed “The Rattler” by locals. Now, if the image of a wiggly snake doesn’t get your motorcycle heart pumpin’ well, I just don’t know what would. I’d first read...
Sights From the Road: Greatest Car in the Universe v4.0 – Mufflermobile
Okay, I know. I know, I know, I know. Every time that I see an amazing art car I go bananas and get all, “this is the greatest car in the universe!” But,… Muffler…...
Sights from the Road: The Cherokee Muffler Man
Kenny and I made a quick stop in Cherokee, NC to snap a photo of a gent we’d passed many moons ago but never stopped for. The Cherokee Muffler Man: Handsome, right? And look...
Day 2: Detour to the Roanoke Muffler Man
Some time around midday I pulled us off of the BRP around Roanoke, Virginia. When we finally stopped at the first traffic light we’d seen all day, Kenny looked at me quizzically and slowly said,...
Day 1: Dipping Below the Mason-Dixon Line
During the night I’d been awakened by rain pouring down the gutter drainpipe outside. It sounded like a steam train was chugging by our bedroom window with big whooshes of wind tearing through the...
