Well, if GZ1 finishes Europe this summer and heads to South Africa or if a South American rider pops up in the fall....
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Vern Edwards(Bluezboy
73 CB750
580 miles ridden


I left Stone Mountain, Georgia with Zilla around October 23 and rode the back roads to Cherokee, NC. I got on the BRP and had a gorgeous ride to Ashville where I pit stopped to visit a friend for a few hours. From there I rode the slab to Hickory NC to meet the rider, sorry I can't remember his name! We exchanged Z and went to our motel rooms for the night.
  The next morning of my return trip to Atlanta began fine, I slabbed it back to Ashville and then hopped on the Parkway there. As I rode from there the weather took a turn for the #$%*ty, because damn, Hurricane Sandy's winds and cold rain had made it all the way to the parkway. My visibility began to diminish and my fingers and toes became numb, I made it to Brevard, NC before I had to abandon the parkway!
     It was a longer and colder ride from there to Stone Mountain on the back roads, I must have drank a gallon of coffee and ate 10 apple pies from McDonalds just to keep myself warm enough! I even rode the dreaded 285, a ring of death highway that circles Atlanta, it was dark when I got on it and I swear I must have had angels watching out for me to get me home.
     It was a great trip that I will always remember and I did it on points and not that crappy Dyna that stranded me so many times.
