In the two years and 6500 miles I have had my TBA its never been out of the state of Ohio, that all ended today. Maybe out of spite for the
Risks and Responsibilty post, I decided for fathers day I wanted a road trip, didnt know where but needed to go on a nice long ride, so out of shear bullheadedness I thought you know what I dont need a helmet today either, rebel that I am.
So this morning we loaded up the bikes and my wife and son took off for who knows where. First road was route 303, going east its a boring straight road that I bet the sport bikes could get in a lot of trouble on. The only excitment was the Idiot who didnt where his helmet was getting belted with every bug known to man, but hay Im a rebel (curse you Friar John)
We come to the end of 303 and head toward Warren Ohio on rt 82 , rock hits me in the face (Johns Fault )
Zig zag into Warren Ohio and still do not have a clue where to go, so at a gas stop I see a Sharon Pa sign about 35 miles away. I tell Suzie lets go to The orignal
Quaker Steak and Lube So we take the Route 82 toward Sharon now 82 is a 65 mile and hour highway and there is a Idiot on a Triumph with no helmet (has to be Friar Johns fault)
Bike rides great, Suzies bike handle the road fantastic and my kid is singing for me as we travel at 70 mph toward where wings begin , mean time im being pelted with every formally alive bug know to man what a appetizer!!!
Roads smooth,we head on into beautiful downtown Sharon PA
and it is no longer a Ohio only Virgin. Pull up to
Quaker Steak and pull into the bike parking aera and what do we see ? A mulberry TBA, could not find the rider but the bike looked good.
Ate a great meal (maybe bugs add to the flavor) walked around, it was cool to see the non corporate first one.
Headed back home more bugs more things hitting my forehead but I showed him!!!
It was a very good fathers day ride, but you know what Wear the helmet, things hitting your face at 70 mph just is not the way to stay awake on the road or better yet to prove a point!!!!
