Great friend, great ride, great steak

[Mtneers]

When talking with Mtneers at the East Coast Rally I found out that although he had been to Portsmouth Ohio several times, he had never been to the best place on earth (imo) to get a steak, which just so happens to be located in Portsmouth Ohio.

So we decided to meet there. Today all the stars lined up, perfect weather forecast for West Virginia and perfect weather for southern Ohio so we agreed to meet there at 12:30 today, It's about a 2 hour ride for both of us. I got there a little early (duh) and Ron got there right on time, and on his CB no less. It was cold when I took off so I rode the FJR for wind protection.

Steaks on the grill



Steaks on our plates ..16 oz Ribeye with baked potato, I had applesauce, Ron had baked beans, and rolls. I also had Sweet tea and Ron had coffee



Mtneers about to take another bite of his steak



Had to laugh, I unconsciously said Mmmmm every time I took a bite. Did it about 1/2 dozen times before realizing I was doing it. man, what a great steak.

After lunch, we headed over to the Mural wall. a 1/2 mile long display of dozens of giant murals painted on a flood wall. We stopped and took pics at the one for the Portsmouth Motorcycle Club the Nation's Oldest Cycling Club formed in 1893





After that we said our goodbyes, split up and headed our separate ways home.

Some ride pics..note my ride to and from was thru Shawnee State Forest, a nice curvy, hilly part of southern Ohio, made even better by the perfect weather and fall color change











Had a great time Ron, thanks for coming!

Hope you enjoyed your ride and your steak!

It was an all around fantastic day...the friendship, the food and the ride. Had to make one more stop before heading home...

(Note to self: Next time you take off for a ride that includes at least 30 interstate miles and the temp is below 50 degrees, take the Goldwing )
