Sunday afternoon motorcycle ride

Hot and humid. Of course, it’s time for a motorcycle ride.

The area around where I live is wonderful for riding. The Ohio River Valley has created these hills with curvy roads. There are plenty of backroads with no lines–no center lines, no edge lines. And they often cross these small streams that inspire one to stop and take a look.

Continuing on along the Little Miami River, I turned east at Corwin and passed the Miami Cemetery. Very park-like, the cemetery association was organized in 1867. I turned in to find a very large WWII Tank and a grave section devoted to the area’s soldiers.

I took a moment to peruse the graves from WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. It was very nicely done. I took one last moment to stand at attention and salute my brothers and sisters in arms. As an Army Vietnam Veteran myself, it seemed like the right thing to do.

The rest of the ride was towards home, just cruising along on my Moto Guzzi V7 Sport.

See you on the highway.

Quick ride before the rain

It has been about a week since my last ride, and I wanted to get a quick one.

Home is behind me about 20 minutes and the sky is starting to look llike rain. I made my turn-home corner and started to hear those little splats on my helmet. More on the windscreen of the bike.

I look skyward and feel it will not be heavy, but I head towards home without delay. That means no side trips. LOL Arrived home safely and without heavy rain. It was just some drops all the way home. Rain is on the way.

See you on the highway.

Ride to Caesar Creek Lake and State Park

A day of relief from bad weather. So it was time to roll out the Moto Guzzi V7 and get some helmet time. Destination? One of my favorite places for a ride, Caesar Creek Lake and State Park. The roads to and from are country, curvy and constant.

Boat ramp on Caesar Creek Lake.

Dam and spill way letting out quite a bit of water.

Brent on the bridge over Caesar Creek below the dam. There is good hiking in the gorge.

BTW, last Friday, I learned my new Moto Guzzi would be at a truck terminal in town by end of day, and it should be at the dealer this week!!

See you on the highway.
