Eclipse trip day 4

– after an interesting night camping with the girls, we wake up and her dad is big mc guy

– Steve took us on an hour long ride around the lake and mountains. He was on a moto guzzi griso

– let’s just say Adam Jordan would not approve of steves riding speed. He was ripping

– one of the girls bf had a right hand drive Toyota 4 runner he had imported from Japan. 

– left the girls and went back down to the lake spot to wait for the eclipse 

– bunch of people down there hanging, swimming, boozing

– eclipse was really cool. 100% coverage so it legit looked like a black circle with a glow ring on outter edge. Could take glasses off for 2 min. Never see that again in my life so pretty happy about it

– was a weird dusk for a long time. Temp dropped and it was cold. Then almost pitch black. Could kinda see stars. Was def wild

    Damn this is looking awesome. I wish “Harley Guys” weren’t excluded from cool stuff like this. Maybe next year…. oh wait once in a life time.

    Wow, that looks like an -awesome- pair of days.

    JDM land cruiser and a guzzi ADV bike at one house… in rural NC? Thats as rare as the eclipse.

Livin’ it up on the road south

Been living free camping in the woods, riding great open roads and lovin’ every bit of it. Smoky mountains were an epic sight to see. Saw 5 black bear all within 20 feet of us. Weekend traffic through the park got to be too much so we decided to high tail it south for some […]
