187 miles for a steak

[the Ferret]

About a week and a half ago my son put out the call for a "Ribber Run" on Aug 19th. For those unfamiliar, a Ribber Run refers to a motorcycle ride to a restaurant in Portsmouth, Ohio that makes awesome Ribeye Steaks. It's about 100 miles from home, but the food is worth every mile, especially since you have to transverse some of the best curvy roads in southern Ohio to get there and back.

5 Family members on motorcycles, 3 friends on motorcycles, and 3 more family members who don't ride but wanted to follow in a car showed up. Since my brothers new T-120 has developed a non running issue I lent him my CB1100 for the run. He has of course ridden it before, but never for a whole day on a bunch of curvy roads, chasing a bunch of fairly good riders. He came away impressed with the CB.

My son led on his FJ-09, he was followed by friend Casey on a Triumph 675 Street Triple, friend Greg on a CBR250R, Greg's wife Stephanie of a Triumph 675 Street Triple, my brother on my CB1100, cousin Mark on a Triumph T-120 Black, my sons FIL on a Honda ST 1300 and myself on a ST 1300. In the car were my bil, Marks dad, and Marks brother.

the prize awaiting inside.. a 16 oz ribeye steak cooked over a wood fire, with a baked potato cooked over a wood fire, rolls, and for me applesauce and sweet tea.











Next week I am guiding my family Doctor on his KTM 990 for a few days over in SE Ohio and nw West Virginia, and I planned on stopping at The Ribber on our way back home so Doc could experience it. Yea baby.
