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....
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...
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…?...
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...
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...
Greetings from sunny Virginia. Apparently on the heels of their Virginia is for Lovers campaign of many years, the State of Virginia has adopted “Love is at the heart of every Virginia vacation.” With...

In a strange moment of serendipity I was riding in a conga line of traffic going 30mph behind the Top Dog Lunch Wagon on Route 68 near Portland, Ct. I only wish that I...
Muffler Men are a funny bunch. Clearly they need looking after and checking in on now and then. The last time I was in the neighborhood in 2009, I stopped in to take a...
It is impossible for me not to stop whenever I pass the Big Duck. I just love it.
If you’re looking for a 1-2 punch of good riding and interesting roadside attractions, Maine has a lot to offer. Just a hop skip and a jump from a 3 story outhouse, a giant...
During summer evenings, the parking lot at McNulty’s is packed with families out for ice cream. Sticky-faced children mill around the patio leaving trails of drips and drops in their wake. When I passed...
