Picture: Pam looking wishful at The Hog Pen
A nice riding day in Athens, GA spoiled by Kansas like winds. We didn't let that stop us though. First stop was The Hog Pen, a mostly Harley like place that made custom choppers with non-Harley V-twins. Interestingly enough they had a 1957 Trimuph in the shop looking for a wiring short. it was a twin, looked to be about a 250cc in dark green military trim. It appeared to be a daily rider and was no show bike.
Next stop, Cycle World a huge harley/honda/suzuki dealership. Tons of bikes and a friendly sales staff that had actually heard of a Royal Enfield.
Lunch was at a new bread store near downtown Athens. Sandwitches, soup etc. We got a few looks when we pulled up on the bikes and walked in with all the riding gear on. They had a nice outside eating area so we could keep an eye on the bikes.
And now believe it or not Pam has to get a root canel done. Two hours in the dentist office and she is ready for more riding. We cruised through downtown Athens and the University of Georgia Champus to a friends house to visit her new baby for a few minutes. The week old baby girl gave me a new appreciation of my own extremely handsome grandson.
The ride home about blew us out of the saddle. Riding in traffic and wind can really wear you out. Time for one of the son-in-law's home brews and to make plans for tomorrow.
