D+12 OKC to Amarillo, Texas

Leg Mileage = 276.7 Cumulative miles = 2624.5

Another INCREDIBLE ride today. Beginning to learn how to cherry-pick the Mother Road, because you simple can't do it all on one run. Stopped at the Route 66 Interpretive Center in Clinton OK, to help celebrate their 15th anniversary. They broke ground for this on the first HOG Mother Road Tour in 1995, and some of the riders who where there that day are with us on this tour!

From the sublime to the ridiculous: most who are making a living off of 66 have a gimmick and a darn good one! Witness Erick Oklahoma, the home of Roger (King of the Road) Miller and Sheb (Purple People Eater) Wooly. Currently holding forth in the self-proclaimed Red Neck Capitol are the Mediocre Music Makers. They flag you down, greet you, entertain you (former studio musicians from LA), and then wish you well along your way! Picture offered without further comment!

  1. Bob,
    I have been following your travels regularly. I have a picture of the woman that I want you to bring back, but have no way of posting it! We're anxious to greet you buddy! See you soon!
