Route 66 ride..

[runeight]

Met up with some fellow workers yesterday for the annual ride to Seligman for breakfast. About 150 miles one way but fun none the less.

Not a lot of pictures. Mostly riding.

The meet. Mostly HD's and a couple of Honda Shadows.

We rode up for breakfast. On the way back we stopped at Hackberry, AZ. You can spend hours in this place. Yes, orginal Corvette. Guess the year?

This was Glens ride. He was up from California for the River Run. We stopped to pick up some more riders on the way up. We got to talking and he said these "slow pokes" are killing me! He runs a Baker 6 speed. I said ok, lets lead and pick up the pace.

We did just that but still left everyone behind. Cruised around 85 and a 5 mile run at a 100 mph. He never lagged.

He is 66 years old.

Heading back we stopped at the Harley Davidson dealer. The group wanted to look at merchandise.

I looked at other things.

By original, I thought you meant the first year made. Looks like a 53

Cool pictures.

I go on a short section of route 66 every day to and from work, but nothing much left of interest anymore. Just a country 2 lane road.
