Spring has sprung and the rumble of Harleys is in the air. Now that the weather has warmed up I got the hog washed. She was some kind of filthy. And of course with a nice clean bike you’ve got to take her out for a spin, right? RIGHT! And put her in the wind we did. Paula and I took to the road Saturday just touring the local back roads. We went to Reynolds and back home through Macon. Nice winding roads and in about another week or two the peach trees will be in bloom making the ride that much more enjoyable. Saturday was just enough to wet the Whistle so we decided to spend Sunday at the Whistle Stop Café in Juliette. It’s a nice ride from Macon up GA23 to Juliette. Traffic was light and the weather was great with a cloudy sky providing a cool comfortable relaxing country ride. They open at 11AM on Sunday. So we planned the trip to arrive at 11:30, figuring on beating the noon rush but giving them time to heat the grill up for us. We weren’t the only one hankering for some fried green tomatoes. When we turned down the block long McCrakin Street, where the Whistle Stop is located, we were pleasantly surprised to see the street lined with Harleys. A group of Christian Riders from Athens was walking in and some riders from Atlanta had just arrived. We ended up sitting at the bar taking two of the last five seats in the house. As the lovely southern belle took our order another group of Harleys came thundering in. Our timing was right on the money. After lunch we eased down Juliette Road to Forsyth where we picked up GA 83 to GA74 back to Macon. The only way this could have been better is if you have been there too.
