The scooter and the mini van

[the Ferret]

Yesterday my brother and I rode down to Portsmouth Ohio to meet up with Mtneers for lunch at the Scioto Ribber aka "Ribbers". They make an awesome 16 oz Ribeye steak cooked over a wood grill. As my son says "Ribbers, never dissapoints".





I've taken other forum members there as well, and reported on it before.

Like Empty Sea



It's 184 miles round trip for me, and worth it in every respect. For me riding there means riding thru the Appalachian hills of southern Ohio through the Shawnee State Forest



the hills provide roads like this



Mnteers (Ron) showed up on his 2021 Wing



I rode my NC since Ron said he had never seen one. My brother rode his Bonnie.

After a great meal..(my brother had the steak, Ron and I opted for their "ribs" which look like giant bone in pork chops.



we went outside to look at the bikes. Ron looked at and sat on my NC. He thought not having a clutch would be weird., and when I opened the frunk (front storage compartment) he commented that the NC is like a scooter (he's not entirely wrong) lol

Ron had parked on the other side of the lot and when we walked over to look at his wing I found it sitting between 2 mini vans and commented that there were 3 mini vans parked in a row,

Looking at all the features on Ron's wing, the storage in the electronically opening bags and trunk, electric windshield, keyless ignition, stereo, navigation, reverse, was amazing. I think it actually had more features than the mini vans on either side of it

we all mounted up and made our way to the Mural Wall (1/2 mile of painted murals along the Ohio River



Afterwards we split up and made our ways home. My brother and I on roads like this









Weather was perfect, roads were awesome, food was great and the company was wonderful
