Earache

Headed down the road towards Athens and the Insane Asylum....

Dunno if they ever filmed a scary movie at this house, but they should. hate to see it at night. Gotta say though, the lawn looks magnificent!

Some abandoned farm house for @XTreme ...

Still fairly green here in Ohio, not at all like back home....

Only did a couple hundred miles today - on Route 555 south out of Zanesville. Fun road. Loads of blind curves and crests, relatively smooth road surface and not a soul out there other than me....

Shit, I was happy to have that!

I won't argue that - wasn't all that much fun. Better days ahead though!

Someone had to carry the torch onwards.

Headed down to the town that I attended college in to shoot some pics of the abandoned Insane asylum today. Fookin' spooky place even in the light of day...

Should plug me up for awhile. The trick to eating that crap is to allow half of the cheese to fall off while eating. Hard to keep it all together while you eat anyway.

Nor mine. But I had to be in Ohio by Saturday to look at some property that my wife wants to buy. Getting across the country kinda sucks at times but it has to be done. The good riding will now start and I'm not in a hurry to get back home, so will do some much shorter rides on nice 2 lane roads from here on. The fun starts now.

Just before reaching my destination, had to sit on the freeway for an hour while they cleaned up an accident . Temperature was now 85F / 30C with high humidity. I was roasting..

Another truck stop and a side stop at a Skyline Chili in Dayton, Ohio for some chili cheese coneys (hot dog, chili, cheese and a bun). Enough to kill lesser men...

3 more hours and another truck stop - pretty much doing this over and over today.,,,

American women will eat anything with "pumpkin spice" in it. Not sure what that is but it can't be good in a pretzel....

3 hours later and I'm at another truck stop. Starting to notice a trend here...

Started off my day with the full American breakfast. Donut and caffeine at a truck stop, eaten while standing in the rain next to your bike...

Day 2 wasn't quite as long, but took all day due to massive amounts of truck traffic - just couldn't get past them all. But I did arrive at my final destination in Ohio...

Twas not the time to be fucking about - had to get there.

Agreed. Always liked the Cube. See lots of them customized here in the States.

Stunning architecture everywhere you look - great pics!

Day one was 741 miles in just under 11 hours of riding time with an overall average of 69.31 mph (which includes fuel stops). Made it to Columbia, Missouri just in time for a couple of beers and a shower before bed. Ahhh. More tomorrow....

Another finger cutter....

Metals room with welders, lathe (14X40) and mill...
