Monday morning 11.8.2014  8 am in Bowling Green Kentucky and it's raining and there is thunder ,lightening and it's not nice out there but still 23 degree so going to stay in bed for a while and see what happens.
I had a hell of a trip on Saturday , left Bloomington and just getting out of town and there were some railway tracks across the road and hit these at 60 mph but they were doing repair work and they had removed a lot of the road , so hit this next thing bike and me in the air but landed safely a few wobbles and on the way. Later on down the road went from a 2 lane to a 1 lane because of road works so all these big orange plastic barrels with black bases to hold them down separate the road , now with road works here you are allowed to travel 60 mph which means 70 so following this car at 70 mph then boom hit one of the bases that was lying in the middle of the road gave me a hell of a fright but straightened out and on the way. Getting into Louisville it started to rain and I mean rain ,only had the skid lid helmet on and Sun glasses on so stopped changed glasses then on the way then it really started raining going at 60 mph couldn't see any road couldn't see what was in front was in a 3 lane freeway , had suntan lotion on, this was wet running into my eyes so was blind, pulled over took glasses off , wiped eyes and crouched down beside screen and carried on finally getting to motel soakin wet , so not a good day riding but not so much corn now and the scenery is very nice .
Sunday Phil, Speed and Ocker have departed in the car for 3 days to have a look around ( ahhh peace and quite no Aussie accent ) so Dave, Mark and myself are heading for  Nashville as one of Dave things on his bucket list is to do some line dancing in the country music capital before he is 60. Today we had a look around the Jim Beam distillery which we really enjoyed as all we have been doing is riding and no sight seeing so thanks Callum from Beam Global
