Day 9 of USA South 2020 – October 15 2020. I depart from the motel in Jonesville, Louisiana in the wet, thick morning fog and continue the journey east rolling through Mississippi and stopping in Selma, Alabama.

Very pleasant travel day and happy to report no mechanical issues this day with Dexter. From here all the way to Georgia it’s trees and more trees :).

Ride to Atlanta

On Saturday June 10th, 2023 I went on a short but surprisingly long in time ride from my home outside of Douglasville, GA to Downtown & Midtown Atlanta. I left home in the mid afternoon and as is typical for the Atlanta metropolitan area, traffic became a monster along with the Atlanta Metro’s uber aggressive drivers (being passed in no passing zones, being passed on shoulder, etc). For myself and Dexter (my motorcycle) the ride was uneventful. I did discover while I was walking the capital grounds that I had left my wallet at home DOH!!

So, there was no stopping to get gasoline or any beverages. In downtown Atlanta it was actually pretty warm right around 90 degrees. I ended up using my emergency 1 gallon of fuel and poured it into my tank…..emergency fuel used in downtown Atlanta LOL.

A video of the ride will be posted soon on my YouTube channel. In the meantime, here are some pics of the Georgia Capitol building and grounds. 🙂
