Miscellaneous Debris - Epic Ride (Part Two)

[frenchy750]

After the WWE shows in Washington DC and Hershey, the second part of my epic ride began. My girlfriend Sleeping Beauty (aka Fiona) planned to fly to Baltimore and join me on a three day meander down to Knoxville, but her flight didn't arrive until later that night. I had some time to kill. Looking at my map, I realized that Hershey is pretty close to York, which is the home of Harley Davidson's Vehicle Operations plant. Suddenly, I had a pretty good idea how to kill some of that time.

I'd ride my Yamaha sport bike to the HOG factory. Naturally.

Is this a faux pas?


My friend Pat accompanied me, but not on my bike. He drove a rental car, though this sidecar rig would've worked just as well.

This is definitely a faux pas.

After taking the Vehicle Operations plant tour - which I highly recommend - and watching the workers of The Motor Company assemble big touring Harley Davidsons, I walked out to the motorcycle parking lot and was shocked to find Rain Cloud Follows hadn't been kicked over. Surprising, considering I parked my Japanese sport tourer in the middle of about fifty of York's finest examples of American motorcycle workmanship. I had more time to kill, so I decided to head over to Gettysburg for a National Park Passport stamp.

I saw this on the road heading to Gettysburg. The Battle of Gettysburg in 1863 is considered the turning point of the Civil War. General Robert E. Lee and the Confederate army might not have been stopped in Gettysburg if they had a few of these babies in the arsenal.

The rain clouds found me and Rain Cloud Follows once again, and I endured some incredibly hard, driving, pelting, stinging, painful, awful rain. Slowed by the weather but undeterred, I headed over to my friend John's house to hang out and ride ATV's with him and his son Dane.

Later that night I picked up Fiona at the airport, and we rode to the hotel, located in Baltimore's Inner Harbor area. We enjoyed Fell's Point, a row of trendy pubs and restaurants. In fact we enjoyed it far too much, far too late into night, but since we didn't have a long ride ahead the next day, it was OK. It felt good to stay out late and enjoy some fine adult beverages. It felt better to sleep in the next morning. Richmond, 142 miles away, was that night's destination.

Why Richmond? Simple. It was the closest city with a movie theater playing Long Way Down, the adventure film featuring Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman riding their BMW motorcycle from Scotland to Capetown. It felt somehow right to have ridden down from Baltimore to see the movie. We joined a theater full of motorcyclists and enjoyed the movie very much.

Richmond Theater Parking Lot

The next morning we rode the excellent, curvy and scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, one of my favorite roads. On my first long motorcycle trip, way back in 1873 I rode the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was nice to be back on this fantastic road once again.

I love this sign. Every time I pass it, it cracks me up. The funniest thing? The curve isn't sudden, or all that bad.

http://frenchy750.smugmug.com/photos/345316960_AxngD-L.jpg (http://frenchy750.smugmug.com/photos/345316960_AxngD-L.jpg)

Actually, now that i think about it, the funniest thing is nobody has shot this sign full of bullet holes.

We stopped at a little restaurant for lunch, and had a pretty weird experience. First, the waitress came to our table, stared at Fiona and said, "You look just like my cousin." Then she just stood and sstared at Fiona, for so long it seemed she was waiting for Fiona to admit she actually was her cousin or something. When that didn't happen, the waitress kept standing and staring for an uncomfortably long time before taking our order.

While waiting for our weird waitress to return with our lunch, a scraggly, bearded man with his elderly mother walked in, and he stared at Fiona with a strange look in his eyes the whole way to his table. He continued to stare a hole through her after they sat down. We both were a bit put off by this guy who never took his eye off Fiona, so we wolfed lunch down pretty quickly and left.

Once outside, we noticed the bearded stalker followed us. He stopped at his car, opened the trunk and pulled out a plastic shopping bag. While we returned the favor and stared at him, he proceeded to - I am not making this up - tear off the handle of the bag and floss his teeth with it. I waited for the banjo music to start as Weird Beard stood there flossing and eyeballing us, eyeballing us and flossing. Five long, strange minutes passed this way; then we got on the bike and left.

Fortunately the banjos never started, and Weird Beard the Bag Flosser didn't follow us.

We continued ambling down the Blue Ridge for about two hundred miles, turning off this excellent road only because the sun began to set.

This is actually a picture of sunrise the next morning, but oh well...

Fiona had a flight home from Knoxville the following afternoon. We took the advice of a local man and found some fantastic roads that led us to Knoxville.

I stayed with my friends Jason and Tina that night. Jason and Tina work for the WWE as well, and were perfect and gracious southern hosts. Of course they didn't know that I'd claimed their home state - now known as Tennessee Island - earlier in the day.

I probably would have had to sleep outside had they known.

The next morning, Jason rolled his shiny Honda VTX1800 out of the garage, and we went for a nice, long tour of the twisty and picturesque backroads of the newly claimed Tennessee Island.

I managed to get a few decent shots of our ride, a lot of lousy shots, and as always, some excellent views of Rain Cloud Follows dashboard.

Before heading back to the house, we stopped at Norris Dam. The dam was completed in March of 1936, constructed at a cost of $36 million. Approximately 2,900 families were relocated from reservoir lands during the construction. Jason told me that the land that is now a lake used to be farmland, until the government decided to build a dam, and told the farmers they better move. There are still entire farmhouses at the bottom, a scuba diver's paradise.

But there was no time for scuba diving, because my riding buddy Dark Meat Snack (aka Abi) left Orlando on his new Concours early that morning, and we expected him to arrive in Knoxville soon.

http://frenchy750.smugmug.com/photos/345317477_P8PJ7-L.jpg (http://frenchy750.smugmug.com/photos/345317477_P8PJ7-L.jpg)

We weren't in enough of a hurry to meet Dark Meat Snack to take highway, however. There are just too many good side roads in Tennessee to justify doing that.

Abi beat us to the house, finishing 660 miles in a little under twelve hours. Oh well. I do have to say that new bike of his is one SWEET ride!!

After our show finishes tonight, we're staying in Knoxville this week to ride more great roads and hide out in a mountain cabin, then heading to Richmond and Norfolk for more WWE fun, before attempting another country crossing in September.

Great report Frenchy...you lead a charmed life, my friend!
We need pics of Weird Beard the Bag Flosser...:028:

[frenchy750]

I know. I was too stunned to take his picture!

You want to know how charmed my life is? Not only does my lovely girlfriend Fiona still talk to me after every one of these nutty adventures, but (since the WWE will never read this, I can confess) I get to bill them... get this... 58.5 cents a MILE!

That's right, I get PAID to RIDE! (Not to mention paid while writing these posts...) And the best part, it's LEGITIMATE!

Dark Meat Snack and I are trying to figure out how to fit in the Big Bend ride in October, our schedule kinda sucks in October... but if we can, maybe everyone that attends could bill Vince McMahon?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[1MPH]

The next morning we rode the excellent, curvy and scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, one of my favorite roads. On my first long motorcycle trip, way back in 1873 I rode the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was nice to be back on this fantastic road once again.

Frenchy you look great for your age. :)

[frenchy750]

Why thank you!

Glad to see someone is paying attention!

[Boyaghan]

Looks like you're having a fun time, apart from the Deliverance moment :eek:

Looking forward to the next part :)


:eusa_think: Memo to self. Must now go and find part 1

[Sir Limpsalot]

Outstanding! (as always). The sunrise shot is superb.

Couple of questions, what is this WWE thing? 58 cents a mile? Can I get a job there?
More importantly, did Fiona decide on a bike yet?
Cheers,
Si.

Frenchy, on top of answering Si's questions, tell us about WWE and what goes into what you do. Your write ups are great and a very fun read, you have a way with words and pics.

Great ride report F-man.

Life is, indeed, good. I get the same rate when I ride the bike. As a Fed I can:
- Drive the Government POS, or
- Drive my own POS and get $0.285 per mile, or
- Ride my bike and get $0.585 per mile*

(Unfortunately I often travel with others** so am forced into the POS mode... but when solo!!!!!).

* This bizzare rate blend must be an unrecognized error, Uncle Sugar works HARD to assure we get no breaks to our advantage. But I sure don't point it out. And, my boss, a biker in his yoot, doesn't blink when I turn in the vouchers.

[SV Andy]

Thanks Frenchy can't wait for round three, i to would like an udate on the lovely Fiona's new motorcycle.

[HiOSilver]

Frenchy,

Great pics - especially the one of Norris dam. My wife and I both grew up in the town of Norris about 5 miles from the dam. I hope you had a chance to cruise through the town as it's quite unique. It was built at the same time as the dam (circa 1930) and was one of the first 'planned' communities ever. An interesting note and a good example of government planner's foresight: the entire town was wired with three phase power because it was the 'future'. The house I grew up in had a three phase stove in the kitchen! Try replacing that!

Anyway, nice trip report!

Si and Dean,

The WWE is World Wrestling Entertainment. I am a freelance audio engineer that works on the show. You know, Hulk Hogan and all that stuff?

Every Monday night, from someplace in the world, we do a live show that airs on the USA Network from 9 to 11 PM. After that show, we pack up our 14 trucks of gear and move to another arena, up to 300 miles away. (I have yet to figure out how our cities are picked, I figure it's either a monkey throwing darts at a map, or someone in the booking department really hates us...)

Anyway, on Tuesday, we do it all again, doing a one hour show called ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) on the Sci-Fi channel, and taping Smackdown, which airs Friday on CW Network (which will be moving to the My Network this September.)

If there's interest, I could do a quasi-ride report on a day in the life of Frenchy at work... I just need to know where to post it here.

As for Fiona, she hasn't gotten a bike yet, but that's only because we are still riding the FJR around right now. This week we stayed in a nice cabin in the Smoky Mountains with a bunch of friends. Yesterday I took Fiona through Smoky Mountain National Park, and hit Deal's Gap too.

http://frenchy750.smugmug.com/photos/348493757_NUZHf-L.jpg

Her response to riding the 318 curves of Deal's Gap on the back of my bike? "That's it?? Aww, c'mon! Turn around! Let's do it again!" Any questions why I love this girl?

Here is one thought I had while riding America's Favorite Road. There's a lot of noise right now about the cops trying to keep speeds low on The Dragon. This is an unnecessary waste of taxpayer money.

All they need to to is have a few more guys on Harleys to ride back and forth. That keeps the speeds down with no problem at all, at least it did for us.

http://frenchy750.smugmug.com/photos/348493770_YwpkZ-L.jpg

Tomorrow Abi and I head from Knoxville to Richmond for the WWE show, and Fiona flies home to go to the dreaded work. Abi is riding his new and incredibly nice Concours 14, and we are planning to ride 'The Snake' which is Route 421, and Route 58, which is a really fun road that Fiona and I discovered on the way to Knoville from Richmond last week. Hopefully we will be able to avoid highways on the way through Ol' Virginnie.

A few weeks from now we're heading across the country to California, tentatively planning to hit Mt. Rushmore and all the goodness out that way before ending up in Los Angeles for the winter.

Thanks to all for the nice compliments!

Happy Riding!

[Sir Limpsalot]

One of my sons said he thought WWE was wrestling related, now we know. "A day in the life of Frenchy?" sure, go ahead. I'd love to see it. Post it where you like, we're not at all prissy about that sort of thing.

Cheers,
Si.

[Deans BMW]

You bet, we would love a "Day in the life of Frenchy".

Post it in "Non motorcycling topics"

+1 Frenchy - would love to get a little peek at your life on the road with the WWE. What was the deal with Benoit, anyway?

BTW - That pic of the back end of Harley riders made my blood boil - nothing worse than scooting along on a nice twisty road and seeing a bunch of slow-moving dorks in front of you!

The wife and I rode The Snake (Rt 421 near Mountain City Tenn) last year on our Rockster.

It was loaded with go fast sport bikes and we saw one LEO in a SUV coming down the hill. But no Harleys :)

Really enjoyed the ride report. Looking forward to more.

A bunch of riding pictures from our week long vacation tucked away in a beautiful log cabin overlooking the Smoky Mountains. Since I am still in lazy bones vacation mode, and a picture is worth a thousand words anyway, I'll save the boring words for another post.

These pictures were taken last Friday on Deals Gap by famed photographer Killboy. There are at least three places on The Dragon where pro photographers stand and shoot pictures of motorcycles (and sometimes women flashing) all day long, which can then be purchased for around $6 each. I'm a fan of supporting the arts, so I purchased a few of Killboy's pictures. Of us, not the flashers.

Si and Dean O,

I posted a report about setup and working for the WWE in the Non-Motorcycling Topics area.

For anyone suffering from insomnia, the report can be found here. (http://www.motorcyclistcafe.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5571)
