This photo of a "Traub" motorcycle was taken at Dale Walksler's Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum in Maggie Valley North Carolina. He keeps hundreds of old American Iron bikes in running condition and is a great host. Stop by if you're in the area.

The crotch rockets can't catch us!

As Larry drives through the Tail of the Dragon, we leave the bikers in the dust.

Breakfast in North Carolina (or Tennessee?)

I'm not sure if this is breakfast or lunch but it was tasty. I'm also not sure of what state we were in.

Fishing Camp?

 

Larry, Jimbo, Eric & Stush

 

My last day at work. Great pie & ice cream.

After 26 1/2 years I had to call it quits. I sure miss the pie and ice cream.

Larry and me on the Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee

Larry wanted to drive my car through the Tail of the Dragon. He paid for the gas and I held my breath.

Joe at the Honi-Honi Bar in Deep Creek Maryland

 

German Beer Garden panorama

Here's the German Beer Garden in West Virginia as it stood last year. The creek behind the structure swelled and carried the bar downstream. It was in such bad condition to begin with, if they could get the liquor license transfered to the next county, they could probably reopen.

We're always thirsty.

We weren't actually in the desert. Just a little trick editing.

Joe is not drunk.

 

Stush preparing to munch on a couple of bikers.

 

Dan's Mountain

Joe, immediately before his double backflip off of Dan's Mountain. We don't know if it was intentional or not. I guess we'll find out after we locate him.

The "Tree of Shame"

Fortunately we didn't break anything to hang onto the Tree of Shame. There are already plenty of pretty colored parts!

Deals Gap after the Tail of the Dragon Run

After our run along the Tail of the Dragon, we take a break to pose for a photo in Deals Gap.

What really goes on at the Fishing Camp

 

John catches a big one.

Here's a unique photo of someone actually fishing.
