Rode with Kaye (who rode her Harley) to Appomattox on June 20 (more photos on my Richmond and Me page) and took this photo at Appomattox. That is the site where the Civil War ended - this photo is said to be where the last shots were fired. Nice place with a small charge, and we explored it on a very hot and humid day. Nice that this place still exists so that all that happened during that time can be remembered, and we can see what happened back then. It is a remarkable thing to stand on that ground, and to see what they saw without of course all the carnage.
This is the War Memorial (WW1 with others added later) in Lynchburg, VA. Had not been to either of these places in a while, but sure was good to be back and after a quick lunch stop on a place near the James River, and a nice walk we got back on the bikes. I took this photo from the seat of the Vulcan. It was a great ride with Kaye, we covered some 260 miles in all, and sure felt good moving. I am looking forward to returning to this area and to seeing it again very soon.
On the negative side though, when I went to get on the bike, the oil leak is back...apparently it was never fixed. I put the bike back in the shop on Tuesday where they promised me this time it will be fixed! These things happen, but still sucks So for a while will be just enjoying motorcycles from a distance...but sure to have some fun things to do in the meantime.
