Dodging the Roadkill: The Sturgis Chronicles – Part 7
Clarksville, TN – As soon as I started meeting other bikers in Sturgis, who came from all over the country, I quickly learned that everybody comes to this rally for different reasons.
Some came to be with friends that they only saw this time of the year. Others came in groups to have a good time, see all the performers and just let their hair down.
I met many couples who were making their way to the West Coast, where ultimately they were going to ride the Pacific Coast Highway in California.
Me? I came to ride and ride we did.

Dodging the Roadkill: Texas Road Show
Kerrville, TX – I will always remember the first time I traveled to Texas on a motorcycle.
I was just starting my journey into this lifestyle and was SO excited to visit good friends, and ride the Texas hill country that I had heard so much about.
After making a couple of trips here, I hadn’t been back for over a year, but that all changed this week.
I was asked to join a group of bikers to come ride the Texas hill country, so I jumped at the opportunity.
One of our main objectives was to ride the “Twisted Sisters.” During my previous trips here, I had NO idea about the names of any notable motorcycle routes, I just followed my friends wherever they took me and it was amazing!

Dodging the Roadkill: Memories
Clarksville, TN – As you know, there are SO many great things about being a biker.
Since I began this journey, I’ve tried to share as many experiences as I could along the way. I feel as though many of you who have been longtime bikers would appreciate the perspective of a “new” rider and it would take you back to your beginnings. But better than that, if offers me the opportunity to learn from you. Your experience is invaluable to me and others here.
Selfishly though, I share these stories for me. I needed this journey to wash over me and cleanse me of my past. To leave it where it belongs. Sort of like a good hot shower, but with PIPES!

Dodging the Roadkill: Expectations
Clarksville, TN – Let me first apologize for not posting any updates in the last week. The flu bug/stomach bug has made the rounds through my household, so me and the “porcelain throne” have become “besties” this week.
One of the most common questions I get from the people I meet on this journey is, “do you stop and visit Harley dealerships when you travel?”
Yes.
I try to visit any and ALL dealerships when I’m on the road, especially Harley Davidson, because I collect Poker Chips.

Dodging the Roadkill: Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum
Leeds, AL – Since I began this journey, I’ve been amazed at some of the people and places I’ve discovered along the way. When a college buddy told me about the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, I was intrigued. After doing some research, I discovered that this place is probably as close to “heaven on earth” that a biker can experience.
The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum is the masterpiece of George W. Barber, a businessman, racer and philanthropist. His vision to build the world’s best and largest motorcycle collection is what stands before us in Birmingham Alabama. In fact, the Guinness Book of World Records has certified the museum as the world’s largest motorcycle collection.

Dodging the Roadkill: Two Bikers And A Bucket List
Clarksville, TN – Every biker wants to ride the legendary Route 66. Many of you have, and if you’re like me, you have it on your bucket list. Two friends of mine recently completed that trek, logging nearly 5,000 miles before they got home.
David Bearden and Matt Moriarty have been friends for nearly 30 years. They’re both veteran bikers who share the love of the open road and plenty of “wind therapy.” They began planning their wild west trip nearly two years ago and like most adventures, it began with a simple, “we should do this.”
Riding along Route 66 was just the beginning of their 3 week adventure. They visited the world’s largest Mcdonalds, the Route 66 Museum, and had dinner at The Big Texan, a legendary steak house.

Dodging the Roadkill: The South Union Shaker Village
Auburn, KY – On a beautiful Saturday morning, I did what I so often LOVE to do. Go get a fresh hot cup of coffee, then take an early morning ride somewhere. The mornings are so peaceful and cool, with very little traffic. It’s perfect!
As I was watching the sun coming up, I was wondered which direction I would ride. Then it hit me, that on my way back from Arkansas last week, I came through Kentucky, down highway 68/80. I passed a familiar road sign to the “Shaker Museum.” From Clarksville, it’s a beautiful ride, and as so many bikers have, I’ve passed it many times.
I thought today would be the day I would visit to learn more.

Dodging the Roadkill: A Visit To The Military Memorial Museum
Crossville, TN – On a beautiful day in May, I joined several other bikers for a day trip to Crossville, Tennessee. We were going to visit the Military Memorial Museum.
And of course, ride the beautiful Cumberland Plateau.
In all of my years, I had never known that this museum existed, much less, that Tennessee was the home to four POW Camps during the war.
“Camp Crossville” along with Camp Forrest in Tullahoma, Camp Campbell in Clarksville, and Camp Tyson in Henry County is where German POW’s were sent. There isn’t much evidence of the other camps today, but in Crossville, what remains of the actual camp is now a 4-H camp. The Military Memorial Museum houses the memories of the war.
