Monday morning and it's off to Kentucky.
Must tell this story;
My routine over the passed week has been, hit the road and have breakfast after the first century (100mi).
At a stop outside Cincinnati this fellow was admiring the Condor. One problem...he walked away from his car at the drive up window! He didn't speak English well, but I was able to tell him he should move 'see all the cars behind you?'. We had a chance to chat, he told me he was from Korea and he would frequently go to a shop in Japan where he saw pictures of this bike. ??? Dunno, but he was really excited (me too I guess).

Coming into Cinci'
Image
I know what you're thinking, 'that's the tunnel in Monaco, and he's doin' 200mph!' Nah.

Crossing the Brent Spence Bridge into Kentucky. http://www.brentspence.com/history.html
Image
I decided to stay on 71 just a little more and log in one more NASCAR track on this trip
Image
Sporting my new Dale Jr. cap, it was time to push on. I decided not to get back on the slab and took RT127. Kentucky has gorgeous roads
Image

Image
I followed the smooth winders to the town of Frankfort. A cool little river town. I stopped here at Fort Hill Park to chill.
Image

Image
Still a good 4-5hrs. from Che Claude in Paducah and sketchy weather blowing in. Gotta Go...

After a off & on wet, scenic ride on the Western Kentucky Pkwy. I arrived in Paducah, home
of kYpondman. It was a great time to chill and talk motorcycles and misspent youths. :lol:
Claude & I, awesome pond in the background
Image
With storm bands blowing across the country, I got an early start Tuesday morning. Rain duds would be the order of the day.
Image
...but this kinda tornado ally stuff thru Missouri was tiring..
Image
Rain into Arkansas and then into Texas. A long 600mi. day. I'll hold up in Henderson, TX and finish up manana. Hey! did I mention I got a new Helmet?
Image
Thanks to everyone along the way, and thanks to those I could not take up on your hospitality. Maybe next time.

Epic. Sorry it took until now to see this. If your travels bring you to the Mitten State, hit me up. Wife and work prevent me from doing Homer's Odyssey, obviously you don't have one (or both?). The least
I can do is buy the beer and give you a place to sleep, and show you around my neck of the woods. Only 3 hours from Cyborg's place.
