Rides Roads and Ronman

Here it was my 41st birthday and what was I going to do to celebrate?  Well ride Doll Baby with my trusty side kick Spydie.  We left my house in Smyrna en route to Louisville, Kentucky to visit MATS.  What on earth is MATS do you say?  Why that would be the Mid America Truck Show.

You see both Spydie and Myself are truck drivers.  Yes we do both drive pickup trucks but I’m talking about big trucks.  Tractor trailers or tractor trailer trailers.  Here I’ve been trucking going on twenty three years and had never made it to MATS.  Well two double naught nine was gonna be the year.

We had no particular thing in mind for the day other than to see the truck show, get some riding in, and visit one of the Harley shops in Louisville.  Now even though it was a bright sunny day it was a bit brisk so to speak.  (insert photo here)  Hahaha I thought I would make a note to myself here.  We all remember the lowers incident a few months back.

In the interest of time we took I-65.  Now last year I was on a daytime schedule to Indy so we made a stop at one of my old haunts just to pick at the locals.  Nothing like catching up with the fine folks that slave away at the little fuel stops.  We did some picking with “pretty little mean girl” . Told a few jokes. Enjoyed some peanut butter and crackers and a diet Mt. Dew and off we rode to Louisville.

I always enjoy spending a day on the scooters with Spydie.  Today was the first time I’d really ventured off with Spydie since he stole his new ride.  Honestly I didn’t care too much for the color of the bike until today.  That blue is really easy to spot in the mirrors as you fly along at asphalt altitude as Dave would say.

I can’t think of a better way to spend my birthday than with such a great friend and enjoying our scooters.

Ride Safe,

Ronman
