Give up ? 12 Sandies on a breakfast ride, on a Sunday, that took 140 miles. We actually had 11 Rides but 12 folks. See this numbers thing gets complicated quick. Got to say a great big Howdy to The Chief and Peggy O, haven’t seen those two good folks in a while. They are a mixed family, Chief with his Goldwing and Peggy with her Harley. Been together a long time , proof folks of differencing beliefs, can give peace a chance.
Joe and Melanie W also joined us, Joe we see more than Melanie, which I don’t know if it’s a good thing. ,I mean Joe is okay but Melanie is, well, really nice.
Met up with most of The Sandies at GTD, Tommy joined us up the road. Need to thank JoeJoe for doing an outstanding job at Sheep Dog. A good Sheep Dog makes or breaks a Ride, JoeJoe is super at Sheep Dogging, again thank you.
There is a road that every time I take it I’m amazed at it. It has a decreasing tight uphill left turn or the opposite if coming from the other direction. I threw that in there cause JoeJoe pointed that out. The feeling is exactly like being in North Carolina, it is uncanny just how much. Now I call this The Bobby Road, cause the first time I rode it Bobby B was Cat Herding the Ride. I am sure it was a Tim W discovered road . I equate Tim with Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer. Tim not unlike Ferdinand finds all kinds of cool roads.
We had breakfast at Bubba Jacks in Freeport ,not a bad place to have breakfast. Just seeing the amount of traffic on the road I can believe it when I read Freeport is the fastest growing town in Florida. As you are aware Tony G has 19 gazillion ram mounts on his Spyder . Which Tony uses to take those really cool videos with. Well I noticed that Mark S is attempting to catch Tony with stuff on the bar. But with Mark his handlebar stuff is instruments. I mean I swear I saw an Altimeter and a turn and bank indicator mounted on Marks handlebar * It was a great ride to see all those headlights behind you gave you a great feeling. It’s always a fun ride if Sandies are involved. If it’s a Sandie Ride you know it’s going to be a lot of fun.
· A word to the wise, expect some exaggeration. Oh hell, expect a lot of exaggeration and some forgetting the truth.
I'd been watching that road for years, and was super excited when I first saw it was paved. A few months later I got the chance to ride it, and thought it was really cool. I logged into Facebook to tell everyone about it, and there was a post from Tim three months prior telling everyone about the same road.... I hadn't logged into Facebook in years. I will definitely credit Tim for finding it paved first, he beat me to it fair and square.
Just north is another beauty Tim took us on. It doesn't have that one magical curve. But it has a few without all the driveways.
