Motorcycle BMW R GSA 1250 Sunset Curvy Road Cool Fence 20240715 Keith Yamaha Four Wheeler

If I spend the rest of my life just riding the coolest curvy roads that surround my house practicing my photography and riding skills I can do no wrong! However, today I made a new friend and I missed the focus! Keith is going to give me another chance and I hope to prove myself worthy! Even when I fixed the shutter speed I missed the focus on the people shot!

I like chasing the sunset from my place to Keith’s place and beyond if I can. I road with my hand as a sun visor, but the camera picked up most of the best shots of the sun moving down. Here is thirteen minute of me chasing a sunset on curvy roads. Somewhere out there someone is home bound and doesn’t get to see this. The area I get to is famous as being Richard Childress’, The famous Race team owner’s, vineyards,

Later that day I see a snapping turtle try to get across the road in some dangerous twisties on a snotty nose up road. You can see how both cars sped up not slow down as I tried to get them to miss the turtle.

A black BMW motorcycle parked on the side of a road during sunset, with sunlight creating starburst effects in the background.

From Steve Fulcher

“Riding gave me a piece of mind that nothing else did. The closest to it was surfing for me.”

Steve Fulcher This is one of the first times I had an almost euphoric feeling. The best was my ride down the hall at South. And nothing much could beat the trails we had as a kid. I’m experiencing that same feeling of freedom and having the bike has been all around great for me. Vera says she can see “scowl Face” or in my words Screw Face has left the building. And i feel great and worked out on most rides. But the euphoria was great. I’d done a couple of laps around the clock for two days and my sleep said it’s 3 or 4 am bugs are low lets go for a ride! It has been the best investment in entertainment value I can think of.

Motorcycle Bullies Bike Night Darrell Hoots 20240711

I hope to build a great history of cool Bikes and Cars that make it to Bullies. I’ve seen all makes of bikes and trikes. The food menu keeps getting better. The waitresses are friendly. People are being good to each other. Every entertainer and DJ they have on most Thursdays has lots of talent. Darrell Hoots sang his ass off tonight in what seemed like a two hour set with one break.

Brooke has pulled off in just a few months what takes most businesses five years to do.

Motorcycle Bullies Bike Night, BJ The DJ, Rayberry Pin Stripe Viclas from Rodney Burcham, 20240620

I brought my close up lens and zoomed in on a few cool bikes. The thing is, is that they were all cool. Bullies packed the lot again!

Brooke makes this possible. Just remember to tip out your favorite workers well.  All of us Patrons need to make them want to come back to work.  Because Whatever they are doing they are doing it right.  All ages of fun loving people need a place to go.   Just think you can jump on 52 and get the speed demon out of your system then jump on exit 103 or wind up and down S. Main St to some twisties on each end.  Your mountain trips should start and end at Bullies because you can jump right off at exit 103 and head for the mountains or to the lake or to Charlotte!  Today I wanted to shoot close up of  Rodney Burchamโ€™s Viclas!  My goal is to piece an ongoing story board for Brookeโ€™s place, Bullies!  If you have ever tried to put a show or an event together of any kind you will soon find out that it is an art form.  Brooke put together the Cook and the staff to run the club and work the outside.  She had an awesome DJ that unloaded a trailer load of perfect equipment.  Everybody looked well taken care of.  She even brought me an ice cold water.

I started shooting Rodneyโ€™s Viclas about 5:30pm and by the time I looked up the parking lot was full of every kind of bike you can think of.ย  Rodney informed me of the Pro Pin Stripe job by Rayberry.ย 

If you have ever tried to build a Viclas before you need to take some advice from Rodney.  His Viclas is Painted by award winning Pin stripe artist Rayberry.  Rayberry got his nick name because he lives near Mayberry.  Harley flies Rayberry all over the country to win awards for his paint jobs.

Rodney could have pointed his Viclas in any direction this past Thursday night 20240620.  However, he chose to go to Bullies in Winston Salem, NC.

Bullies is pulling off in a few months what takes most businesses five years to accomplish.  Bullies had an awesome DJ unload a truck full of equip so the sound was just right. I got there just in time as he just finished unloading and setting up all by himself. And that sound comes off of the hill and band shell like it is supposed to.  It is the perfect sound garden for good music and good motors.

From the start you have to notice that this isnโ€™t a stereotyped biker bar.  All makes and models of bikes are welcomed. You can see in my shots the difference in types of bikes,  And you donโ€™t have a stereotypical wanna be Sons of Anarchy type biker that wants to have his own TV show. (Well Maybe). There are young ladies playing Corn Hole and all ages playing pool with a wide range of Grandpas to kids in a stroller.  I have seen staff and security in marked shirts to help you get around and stay out of trouble.

As riders we need aย  place that isnโ€™t full of prejudice.ย  People donโ€™t judge your character by the bike you ride. Well maybe they might mutter under their breatheโ€ฆโ€look at that damn crotch rocketโ€.ย  But the old farts will bounce your fist and nod their heads because they know they probably read about you in the paper going 140 down 52.ย  There were plenty single young women from 20ish to way old (retirement oldish)ย  but we need lovinโ€™ too!

I almost left out the custom bling team that makes cool hats and have patches.

Remember, somehow Brooke found an award winning chef that is fun.  He will talk junk to you from  the back if your team isnโ€™t winning on the many giant TV screens. Iโ€™m 6โ€™1 and 265lbs.   I couldnโ€™t finish the cheeseburger.

Remember this story is easily shared to your friends.  I send Brooke a link and she posts sometimes on her page.  You donโ€™t always have to have your bike.  This summer hasnโ€™t even started but time goes so fast for me that I โ€˜m planning my winter gear.  Be consistent and tell your friends.  Get them here anyway you can.  This is a unique place where you can see your bike as you walk around and listen to tunes. Everyone walks around and eyeballs other bikes. Occasionally One of the expert bikers there burn a tire up.  Place an order to go and strap it to your bike like the old timers do.  I have one regret from today.  There were so many different types of bikes there today.  Just as I was leaving a small posse of 20 something year olds showed up on Souped up Honda mini bikes.  They looked like the bikes Iโ€™ve seen coming off the tail of the dragon.  I needed to get these done.  I hope I get as second chance to learn something about those.

See this story about Viclas. But come back in here and check out more bikes.
