    I don't care what type of bike the person rides. Any thoughts or ideas on what to do ? Would you turn them in. What if they aren't legally drunk ? but have been drinking ?

    *big breathe intake*
    People that drink and drive are irresponsible morons in the first place . People that drink and ride are moron idiots. They are usually squid riders wearing their bandana's going bar to bar thinking they are hardcore motorcycle riders when in general that are just fags (Southpark definition) who think they should twist some throttle and turn some heads while living in the fantasy world of thinking they are some hardcore outlaw bikers. Would I turn them in? No! I'd first tell them they are fucktards for getting on their bike and if they are still persistent to ride, they are obviously not a good friend as they dont respect me wanting to keep them safe. So I guess let natural selection decide their fate. Hopefully the natural selection office is open that day.

    Is this limestone?

    Every once in a while BigDogAdventures pops in. Found this curved bridge near Whitewater River.

    Eugene, thanks a lot for hooking me up with the tracks.

    And had a pork tenderloin sandwich in Oldenburg. Hey KneeKicker? What's the name of the pub.

    I censored myself a lot on the drunk biker reply...

    That looked like a hell of a ride. Be a great day to be out riding but I work a normal schedule and work on weekends. I can't complain though. I'll have 14days of epicness coming up starting next Friday.

    As always, anyone interested in any of these gps route send me a pm with your email and I will get you setup.

    I added the last legs to a new route with two creek crossings south of Versailles state park on Laughery creek. To all those who have sent me your email, you should have in your inbox the latest ... "Cave Hill"

    Guess I'll be that guy. I don't see anything wrong with having a beer to wash down a meal. Going by what this BAC calculator says I'd be at .006 if it took an hour to eat.

    Brewski83 and I rode up and down the Ohio river ridges between Vevay and Madison today. Water crossing were mostly all dry except this slick shallow one.

    Our ride ended up in Friendship were we lunched with our chrome & leather brothers. They got a kick out of us revving our 250's. Our track was about 140 miles and I ended up with 270 for the day.

    The deer were pretty thick, so be careful out there.

    Mark and I had a blast Sunday! I think we hit almost every gravel road in Switzerland and Jefferson counties. I was at 300 miles on my WR by the time I got back home and can now barely sit in my office chair at work....signs of a good weekend! :clap Can't wait for the next one!

    Who wants to go to work on a Monday morning? Not me. I thought I'd download one of those handy gps aps on my newish iphone so I wouldn't end up riding around looking for good sounding road names like I normally do. Well, an hour later the dumb thing has completed 39% of the download, so screw it, I'm getting lost the old fashioned way.

    Took a shot of the odo on the way out since I wouldn't have gps to keep track...

    Rolled out to 267 and down to 39 where the barn roof caught my eye.

    Stretched my legs for a minute in Martinsville...

    Then I commenced to getting lost in beautiful BC on all the fun roads: Mahalasville, Bear Wallow, Oak Ridge, Railroad, Grandma Somebody...

    Ended up in Nashville just in time for lunch.

    Home made ice cream? Yes, please!

    Well, after two delightful scoops, the clock was starting to hassle me. The hour I'd burned on the gps ap in the morning meant I would have to high tail it back home to meet the school bus. Off to "scenic" I-65 in Columbus and hammer it back to Zionsville. Made it back with 15 minutes to spare and "Vaguely, Uh" 188 more miles on the old tractor. Beats the heck out of working.

    Any good shops with riding gear and parts to check out on the west side of indy? Looks like I'll be spending a couple days in plainfield soon.

    That is one beautiful Guzzi. I love the fishtail exhaust on a classic bike like that.:thumb What year is it?
