My Name is Bones and I am a Rocker. In 2004 I bought a 1971 Triumph Bonneville T120RV. Having grown up on Rock 'n Roll, it was not a far leap to find myself drawn to British Rocker Culture of the 1950's and 60's. My Occupation as a American Service Member has afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. with this bike I have been to the Arctic in Alaska, to the deep-dirty south of Lower Alabama to the white sand beaches of Waikiki to my current location near the city of Pyongtaek, in South Korea. My assignment here is for 12 months and I will chronicle my adventure here.

10 June, 2010

A group of rider that I work with went out for a short lunchtime ride today. 6 Bikes; 2 Harleys, a Suzuki Boulevard, a Yamaha 450 Enduro, a 125cc Daelim Naked Road bike and My Trump. A new route going out Hwy 34, over a mountain on country road 57, onto Hwy 21 then returning along Hwy 45.

Going out 34 is that same as I have written about previously, although we turned prior to going up the mountain that I had enjoyed previously.

Country Road 57 if a sweet little gem of winding switchbacks up the side up the side of a mountain. little more than one lane road, it is far too technical to do at any speed. However the corners are well balanced and the lines are challenging yet possible. at the top of the mountain the road opens up to two lanes and follows a small scenic river down the opposite side. though not as twisty as the way up, it was a pleasure to ride.

Feeding onto Hwy 21 east of Cheonan, we rode until was saw a small Beef and Leaf Korean BBQ place that we stopped at for lunch. Fresh cooked bulgogi, rice, lots of sides and plenty to chat about as we all ate our fill.

The decision was made to head toward Hwy 45, which is a major Highway, in order to make time getting back. This would have been true, but a Daelim 125cc 2 stroke has never held a speed record and is certainly not going to set the world on fire. so we hung with him and cruised back to the base. Not a bad way to spend lunch.
