Revenge Run III!

WAS AWESOME!

It was just 3 of us from here and the Scumbags from Virginia Beach, the rest of y'all missed out!

Here is the lowdown:
Dirt, Ray and I split out from E-City around 6am on Friday. Ray brought his son Mitchell along with a Jeep and a trailer just in case there were any probs. The fog was THICK and the lack of daylight that early didn't help! We stopped in WIlliamston to top off fuel and get some coffee. It was a bit chilly and we were wet as though it had been raining.

Once we were warmed up, we split for Rocky Mount. I thought I picked up a vibration Just passed Trboro and pulled over to investigate. I couldn't find anything wrong, but did notice that my bolt in the kicker arm was MIA. So I started the bike and tossed the arm in the Jeep. LOL.

We got to Rocky Mount and pulled into the starting point to see the place already packed with some rad 2-wheeled death machines! We went to the Diner to check i and buy some swag and raffle tickets for the givaways, then ate some grub before I went to the Harley™ dealer to find a bolt for my kicker.

We hit the road fairly promptly and made it past Tarboro, NC before the first breakdown. It was a girl from VA (Brandy?) on a Kawasaki that had locked up. They were gonna strip t down and leave it, but Death Science Tim pulled up and had them toss it in his trailer so we could get back on the road.

The first gas stop was in Robersonville, NC. Was a nice group there already that had kept rolling when ole girls bike shit along with the bikes that were waved past while we were on the side of 64. I had a sticky throttle, so we lubed it up and were good to go!

Back on the road! Made it to Plymouth for another Gas stop. got a chance to look at some more scooters before getting back on the road!

Next Gas stop was in Columbia. The station was PACKED with bikes! I tightened my chain and motor mount bolts that had come loose (remember that vibration), and we hit the road again!

We rode through the Alligator River wildlife refuge and over the river. There was a bike broke on the bridge and Mitchell and Ray stopped to load them up on the trailer. Dirt and I stopped at the turn off towards Hatteras to make sure people knew where to go and to wait for Ray and Mitchell. Good thing, too....a couple bikes were headed right passed towards Kitty Hawk!

Dirt

Once the boys caught up, we were on the way to the Hot Tuna in Rodanthe. This was the Rendezvous spot from Rocky Mount. There was a bike on the side of the road needing Gas, so Mitchell hooked them up from the can Ray filled on the trailer. Once we got to the Liberty Gas Station/Hot Tuna, it was nice to see the lot full again!

The Scumbags showed up shortly after and we grabbed some food and charcoal (and beer, coffee, and water) to take to the campground. We tossed the goods in the Jeep and loaded a NSTC Bike on the trailer due to a broke masterlink. We took him down to Island choppers in Buxton.

Once he was back up and running with a new chain and link, we were Ferry bound! While waiting on the Ferry, Dirt and I discovered Gringos Tacos and grabbed some Burritos...that were Damn good!

After making Landfall it was straight to the campground! Man, I cannot explain how serene this island is! It was so peaceful! We set up camp and just chilled out cooking some food and enjoying beverages of choice.

After the dark came in, the beach fire was lit, and they had the final raffle before Wilmington. None of us hit with out tickets, so we gave them all to a guy from Baltimore that was riding alone. Hope he won some great shit! Dirt, Ray, Mitchell, and I retired early after that.

In the morning I woke up to a pretty awesome view of the sunset coming up behind Rays bike! I pretty much stayed up to watch the sit come up, then we started some coffee!

That was where the Revenge Run was over for us. The Run went on to hit the ferry to Cedar Island and then Wilmington, where we were headed to Swan Quarter and back home. So we packed up camp and headed into the village for some breakfast and to check out the place.

Once on the Ferry, we all got settled in. There were a couple of ladies sunbathing on the upper deck, so that caught a bit of attention...LOL...Seemed like we each tried to catch some ZZZ's at some point in time.

Once off the ferry we stopped for Gas....4.57/gallon- cash only- for 87 octane!!! Holy SHIT! I got a bare minimum to get me to the next town where we would all fill up.

Next stop wasn't until my front tire decided to let go! It started to shimmy in a curve and once I straightened up, I directed right to the sand! We loaded up and I was now caging it! At least I picked a scenic place to break! Too bad it smelled horrendous due to rotting fish!

We got back under way and the Jeep brakes started pulling in Kitty Hawk. I guess it didn't like all the stop-n-go. Phil J hooked us up since we were near his place bringing us some tools we didnt have.

We got the Jeep back on the road and Ray decided to drive in case anything went wrong. This meant I got to ride his bike the rest of the way back to the house! 

We had a blast of a time! Next year hopefully I can get the full run in! Been tryin for the last 3 years, maybe 4th will be it! Either way, RR3 Patch was added to the Cut next to the others (obviously after this photo was taken)!

Sunday ride to Barry's Bike Rally

Dirt is heading up a ride to go to Barry's Walnut Island on Sunday for Barry's Bike Rally.

He said he has about 10 people confirmed to meet here at the Elizabeth City waterfront in front of the Museum of the Albemarle Sunday morning with a departure time of 11am.

Said it's nothing special, just going down to hang out at Barrys and watch the Extreme Seal Experience go down.

If you want to roll, meet Dirt up there good and early! I am sure he will be leaving AT 11, no later. LOL.

Revenge Run/Avenge Run! April 20-22.

Okay, since the Revenge run was Sold Out we said we would try to plan something in conjunction with it. Bill and Tad from the Scumbags in Virginia Beach came up with some ideas and we through this together.

Well, here goes nothing!

FRIDAY, April 20: Gotta LEAVE E CITY  before 6am! This gives 3 hours to get to Rocky Mount and re-gassed and fed before the Revenge run splits! Last year I left at 5, would be a good time to leave this year as well if people are up to it!

Get with the Death Science/Revenge Run crew in Rocky Mount and Roll out with them. Ride with Revenge Run all the way to the OBX, Hatteras, and Okracoke and find a place to set up camp down there. UPDATE: Scumbag Tad is making reservations for RV slips where they will allow up to 6 people per slip at the campground in Okracoke.

HERE IS WHERE THINGS CHANGE:
Saturday, when the Revenge Run rolls the ferry to Cedar Island, the rejects (Thats us, LOL) jump the ferry to SwanQuarter (there is a FARE). once we land in SwanQuarter, we haul ass back towards Manteo and up he OBX to Powell's Point. We are working on camping arrangements now for Saturday night with a few places in mind. There is a vet named ST in Powells Point that offers Biker Camping, there is also Barrys. I will have this figured out beforehand. SCRATCH THIS! There is no camping planned for Saturday Night! Looks like dudes are just gonna head there own way after we ride back up towards Kitty Hawk. I am planning on stopping at Lucky 12 and at Jay Morris's Shop (Divine-Machine) in Powells Point to check it out, and I guess everybody can go their own way from there. If you desire to stay, OBX bike week will be going on and there will be plenty happening! If you still wanna camp, I can take you where you gotta go or you might could camp at Jay's Shop. 

Anyway, we don't have any give-aways or shirts or tickets, or anything at all actually. Just a chance to goddamn ride with a bunch of rad cats!

Runnin' Free.

Got my new issue of The Horse in the mail last Friday and skimmed through it tight away, as i do with all my mags... Anyway, hit the Runnin' Free section at the back and saw a picture of myself and Ray that Sarah had taken riding back from Barry's one time.  Right underneath was a pic of a crowd, in that crowd was CrudeAsElvis's Catfish (on left in a CAE truckers hat behind a bearded dude).

Sorry i have been slacking here...not a lot going on right now that I am aware of. Bike nights in EC on Thursday at Famous Franks...LOL. That's about it.

So, Revenge Run is sold out...

Alright, Revenge Run is already sold out. I understand that the space on the ferry is a limiting factor, but I am still aggrevated since I didn't buy my pass. They are trying to get more, but in case they don't I have a plan in mind!

If you drug your feet and wanted to go, have no fear!

WE CAN STILL RIDE TO ROCKY MOUNT AND ALL THE WAY TO OKRACOKE IF WE CHOOSE!

I will figure more out as time draws near, and if there are any ideas feel free to toss them out there for me.
