Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence

Jim, Mark and I are on the top of Mt. Mitchell and the clouds are blowing through the parking lot. Mark and I are very impressed buy Jim has seen this before.
Whenever I told people I was going to Deals Gap, they kept asking me, “Didn’t you just go there a couple of weeks ago?”. Yes I had, it makes no difference because deals gap is “The Best Place on the Earth”. Well, at least it is the best place I have ever been to. The whole area lives and breathes motorcycles. There are so many great roads you could ride for years and never get tired of them.
We started out early on Wednesday. Mark and I met up at 5:40 AM and hooked up with Jim at 6:00 AM. There are not too many reasons why I would be up and about at that time of morning on a day off.
We took 77 South to 81, across to 40, and down 129. It was about a 640 mile ride, but it was a pretty easy ride. We had a lot of fog as we were driving through Ohio, but by the time we got to West Virginia the skies were sunny and the temperature was warm.
It has been a while since I updated. A few weeks ago I took Rt. 30 into the Pittsburg Airport and managed to get this really cool picture. We went to the motorcross races at the Ohio International Raceway in Ravenna and the pictures are here. Wednesday we are leaving for Deals Gap, so there should be many new pictures from the latest ride next week. Don’t forget to check killboy.com and they others for pictures of us! In the links section you can find all of the photographers I know of. We will be coming home on Sunday, hopefully earlier than last time!
Ok people, it is time to panic. Summer is almost over. Don’t kid yourself – if you keep putting off that ride you have been planning you are going to have to wait until spring. The snow is headed our way again.
I have not updated in a while. I went to the Fred Perry poker run, the GWRRA Dairy Queen adventure ride, and I took a little solo trip into Morgantown, WV. I’ll be headed back to Deals Gap again in a couple of weeks because it is the Best Place in the World. The big Harley night in Warren is also coming up and I think I will probably attend that event.
