Maiden interstate ride after 11 years!

[Royal Star Ronnie]

Yep. I finally took my first interstate ride on my original '98 Royal Star Silverado. It's been sitting covered in the heated garage for 11 years only to be ridden for an ice cream cone a few times per year.

 

2,109 miles in four days ; MI to OH to IN to KY to TN to NC and back around through the Dragon's Tail and the Parkway to TN to KY to OH and back to MI.

 

Partied in Richmond, IN. Ate BBQ at Corky's in Memphis,TN. Ran out of gas on the way to Knoxville, TN . Scraped the floor boards through The Dragon . Rode through a thunder storm in KY . And back to 45 F in MI !

 

Hmmm ... think I'll head out to ME next weekend .

Yeah, pretty much the mid-life thing. Had three kids in college and graduate school; now only two with three more years for each! Figured I'd better spend a little on myself before the Big Three and the Socialists get the rest. Lol.

 

Hoping to head out east or to Sturgis this summer. Ride on.

Sounds like it was an expirience which you will remember forever.
