One place I have been meaning to stop at has been
Franks Diner. So as we made our way up north to Road America, we made sure to make a stop there. Nice place and fills up quick...and I mean it! We got there early at 6:30AM and some locals were waiting before us. Twenty five minuets after opening the diner was filled. The food was good and the waiter was quick-witted with sarcastic comments; I had to hold coffee back from coming out of my nose.
Gas and water stop before getting to the track. Water at the gas station is way cheaper here. BTW: I love these old road signs for stores/restaurants, nothing generic about old school.
We stopped by our friends at
flatlandcycles. He also does great
Triumph restorations.
Funny thing is when it's 90 degrees and sunny outside, I lost interest it taking pictures of old honda's running around the track with no mufflers. The races were poor with a lot of junk bikes and low turnout. Really not worth the effort and thirty bucks to get in. My hope was to see an old GP two stroke v-4 running around the big track, but no luck. I think I will have to go over to Mid-Ohio to see a high dollar GP bike alive and smoking.
The BRP had the spider demo rides going and my buddy and I went for a escorted ride around Elk Hart Lake. It's interesting to ride, but like they said multiple time during the intro, "it's NOT a motorcycle" and that it is definitely correct. To each his own.
