  • Just out and about in November

    Hey I don't post much here on the big board,I ride when I can and take a few pictures.November is about gone now but I did a nice over nighter near the train tracks and a nice day ride.
    Well I did a quick overnighter on the 6th,dropped down into the 20's,a bit cold,frozen face type of deal.We had a nice fire all night,I kinda curled up to it in the early morning hours and threw another log or two on the fire just to keep warm,I was just on a tarp and and sleeping bag with a blanket on the inside.
    Camping next to the Norfolk Southern main line south from Cincinnati OH it was constant train action so sleep is a bit iffey.
    Just a pic or two from the ride.

    I had to pay?

    Not everyone is well suited to cold camping.



    The ride to our campsite in KY...

            Nice ride Bill, I have been within spitting distance of those places and never knew they were there. I've ridden out through Shandan and out to Okeana to Brookville and back by 50 several times. Never even knew those places were there.

                    I don't have a clue other than extra heavy loads.They make em here but only saw them transporting empty. What a traffic jam they make...just barely make the turn to get on the interstate with safety control vehicles and sometimes the State police escorting them.

                      that red trailer thing is a Rolls Royce Turbine...its used to carry huge loads in excess of 200,000lbs things like maybe a train engine or something...idk can't really think of something that might way 200,000lbs...

                      that might carry 300ish XS1100's...or something idk...but everyone can dream right?
