Forum member Longranger threw out the offer for members to come see him, stay at his place and ride some of Colorado's spectacular mountain passes. I love mountains. I'M IN
Forum member and school teacher who's off for the summer Offroad was up for it too, so we decided to trailer the CB's out and take LongRanger up on his offer. Plans were made, a date was set, and all that was left was for Offroad to get his trailer set up with 2 Condor chocks for the trip. Done.
We decided to get together before the trip and take a little test tow to see how they fit on the trailer and how it towed. So yesterday we decided to meet at the Outlook restaurant on RT 62 in Leavenworth, Indiana. I rode my CB over and Offroad trailered his up. Once at the restaurant, we would have some lunch, then take a ride on Rts 62 and 66 and then come back, load up the bikes and tow them to the other side of Louisville, Kentucky where I would unload and ride home.
8 A.M. freshly washed CB (after the brown mist incident

(BTW this pic is for R4N's benefit... R4N this is as good as it gets lol)
Rt 62 .. I had heard RT 62 was a great road.. IMO it was merely an ok road
the Overlook restaurant
Offroad in the parking lot. The restaurant does have some spectacular views of the Ohio river from the dining room
Appetizer (These pics are for Stichill lol)
Pickles, mushrooms and onions (Offroad kindly let me have the pickles since I wouldn;'t eat the other two)
I ordered the Pork Tenderloin sandwich and fries. Offroad got a brisket sandwich.
the lady behind us got catfish..2 pieces, with tail and bones...yuk
After lunch it was time to chase Offroad on Rts 62 and 66 (66 was the better of the two roads)
I love this pic with the barn in the back with Tobacco advertising on it (Looks better on a full screen)
Once done playing we test fitted the two bikes to the trailer. Fit like a charm and pulled well. Once north of Louisville we stopped at a gas station unloaded my bike and I headed for home. 347 miles round trip!
Think we are almost ready
