As I write this I’m sitting on the back deck of Chrissy’s aunt’s beachhouse watching the waves roll in at Kure Beach. Okay, I got the gloating out of the way.
I rode the bike down here, and it’s the first time I’ve taken that long of a trip on the motorcycle. I’ve got to say it wasn’t bad at all. I took 401 South to Hwy 50, to Hwy 242, to Hwy 421 all the way into Carolina Beach, and then on to Kure Beach. My butt was pretty achy with only 2 stops between Raleigh and Kure Beach but it wasn’t too bad. With a better seat, if I didn’t need to stop for gas, I probably could make it all the way without stopping.
On the way I had a little scare on 421 however. I was following a flatbed truck hauling a diesel generator for quite a while until it’s right rear tire exploded and disintigrated in front of me. Luckily, I was following at a safe distance, so I was able to brake and then go around the truck when he puled of the road.
Anyway, I guess I’l get back to drinking my beer on the deck. Happy July 4th everyone!
Scary, that could have ended badly if you weren’t being careful. Glad you are safe! Have a great 4th!
