I got back from my yearly road trip with my dad, and we had a great ride! We rode in east Alabama, with perfect weather each day. We first rode out to the famous Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum near Birmingham. It is 5 floors of close to 800 motorcycles and 75 race cars, from every corner of the globe. Walking in that place, was like entering the gates of biker heaven! I've never seen anything like it. We spent 5 hours in there, and could have went through it again. There were makes and models I had never heard of. I could have roamed those halls for another day. Amazing place.
We rode through the Talladega National Forest, on the Talladega Scenic Byway, which is beautiful. Not as high or as twisty as roads in NC, but a great ride anyway. While there, we rode other places as well, just enjoying the Alabama countryside. If I wasn't a Georgia boy at heart, I could make my home over there. Beautiful place.
Good to ride with my dad, for however many years we have left. I enjoy the time with him, not just on two wheels, but the talks, the laughs, the cameraderie of just being father & son. And more than that, the time we both spend, as sons of our Heavenly Father. All of this- priceless.
