John and Jen split from the group and decided to take asphalt to a meet up point in Decatur AL. Today was uneventful for the married duo. But the Martin Bros had a very different experience.
The Martin Bros enjoyed the best day yet… wow what a day. Although it was hot, the roads were outstanding, the bikes ran well, and our spirits were up. We could immediately tell that the roads had retained a little moisture from the recent rains which kept the dust to a minimum... today was going to be the perfect riding day!
We road a levy road which was raised approx. 30 feet plus at times, we stopped at some wildlife management areas, we ran some very nice woods roads with over growth that created shaded tunnels, we crossed some closed bridges, and finally we hit the slab of back highways and on to Decatur, AL where we ended our TAT run.
Daniel, the expert hunter in the group, almost hit a wild turkey and a buzzard. Russ’ speedo cable disconnected and needed to be screwed back in, Jeff’s throttle cable fell off and needed to be put back on. We even saw an old “Martin Bros” sign which we were able to snap some pictures in front of…
Wow, what a trip, we even ended in Decatur, AL… finally, a place that’s not a dry county where we can finally have a beer at the local bar.
