Any body been watching this new series? It's on Sunday nights on AMC at 9pm central. It's actually pretty good. He was riding the Texas hill country on a Triumph Tiger 800 this past Sunday night. I didn't even know who he was since I don't watch the "Living Dead".  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-n7Wl57crw

I had it recorded and just now watched it. Have never done the twisted sisters on a bike but have done in the S2000 several times. It is a great ride but from NW Ar it is a long drive through not much scenery to get there. Have always gone in Feb with a group of Saturn Sky, Pointiac Solstice owners. They are like ba.com in the they will let a guy in a Honda hang out and run with them. Their runs are just that, not little scenic tours but are go as fast as you can safely go runs. Lots of fun.
In Feb you can have ice and sleet one day and drive with the top down the next. Of the 4 trips out there only 1 had bad weather during the run (rained all day). Have had to drive back accross OK in a snowstorm twice in that time but weather was great during the runs.

Watched a re-run of his Carolina trip a few days ago. Not bad. Too much hipster for me. Not bad with the sound off though. I'll watch it again if I stumble across an episode.

Sunday night's was pretty cool. Lafayette, La. to New Orleans. They stopped for some crawdads and a tatoo. They were riding a Blue Tiger Explorer 1200 and Reedus on his black Tiger 800. The highlight for me was they were stopped once along the road and the guy on the tiger bumped Reedus and they both went down. I about busted a gut laughing.

Watched the one in Florida tonight. Looks like they had a great time. Fonda is still a hippie at heart. Then again with with a net worth of 40 million he can afford to be a hippie lol. I like his T-bird.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.

Yeah the Fonda episode was new last night it may take a few days to hit youtube. I finally saw in the credits where Triumph Inc. is supplying the motorcycles. I believe there are only a couple of episodes left for this year. Maybe we will see some different Triumphs. I read in "Men's" magazine where Reedus really likes the
Tigers though. He owns 4 bikes. I think it said a Honda, Harley and old Triumph and the black Tiger 800.

That is a fantastic ride, if you ever have the opportunity don't pass on it.
FYI, the episode is available online on AMC if you have access.

Dang. Ride is not on tonight. They must have done just a few episodes to test the water while "Walking Dead" is in hiatus.

I still wish they'd do a better job with the pipes.The commander pipes look the best so far IMO.
They should let me loose in the design department for awhile

Yeah I like the pipes on my Commander. The LT's are kind of weird though.
