Nice day to get away for awhile.

Sign outside the door says it all.

Al's '67 project. Check out the dolly he made nicer than you can buy.

Motor and trans. rebuilt buy Gary Rask , Rask Cycles.


Mid Ohio find '36 ford spare tire ring.

The donor for the project, a 1967 shovel all original 3,069 miles, no shit!

Just some of his stash.

Al's long time friend his 1968 FL. His hotrod Buell daily rider in background.

Light coat of grease to keep her preserved.




Beautiful scenery.




One of my many favorite stops, true class, notice the bouncer on the porch.

He escorted Jen and I right to our stools.

Hoopie Caddy.
What can I say, another beautiful Saturday of this amazing summer we're having. Jen and I took a nice ride up 68 where we spotted an old friend's bike in front of our buddy's shop. After a serious bull session, we followed Al back to his amazing log home that he built where we drank some beer made in North Versailles while we checked out his basement workshop. Al then told us that he and his wife Jane got married on his '68 shovel many moons ago, that bike is like a member of the family, I think he bought it from original owner in '71- '72? After our visit we headed in search of dinner which was found in East Brady. After a few cocktails and a really good meal, we rode on. We came across a bridge with a really nice view. We stopped and enjoyed the shade and view for awhile before heading in search of cold beverages, which we found in St. Petersburg at the Pine Inn. After some more great back roads, we found ourselves at one of my favorite spots -- the Landmark Hotel in Grove City. A true dive in every sense, I love this place. After awhile we decided to head for home with one more stop, Wooley Bullys. If you've never had the pizza, what are you waiting for! All in all another great day with my best friend and wife. There are great roads and great people out there, just get on your bike and pick a direction, not a destination. You cannot find anything from your couch!                                                                                         Posted by Doug.

Saturday was the day our great friends Jeff and Rhonda tied the knot. The day was filled with love, laughs and lots of alcohol. The weather was great, the food unbelievable and the bar fully stocked (including every bum's favorite - Mad Dog 20/20).  The ceremony was beautiful (and beautifully short).  Followed by one hell of a party.  Once the sun went down, things really got moving.  Everyone had a great time, and the designated driver was kept busy.  Here's to years of wedded bliss.  Now they can start planning the first anniversary party!                     Posted by Doug

So me and the gnomes took our good friend jeff out for his bachelor party.So we rode the scoots to Geneva on the lake Ohio.we had great weather all the way.We meet some ladies riding their own bikes.they were selling shirts where part of money goes to breast cancer.we all bought one.I gotta say they rode fast and hard we stop at an insection on the way where they put down there kick stands and decided to take some extra layers off with not a care about holding up traffic.i thought that was bad ass.just because they just did'nt care.When we pulled into town the PBR flowed like the rain that poured the next morning.needless to say i don't remeber much of the night but getting the ol lady a bottle of wine and walking it back to the room and trying to get phil to take the golf cart out and locate the others but the vioce of reason prevailed.it was not our voices of coarse.any way here's some pics of that and a couple others from my last sunday rides.
