Ride to eat in Corinth, MS

[txtinman]

Where and what time are we meeting in Corinth?

[HSV-Phil]

P&K are leading the BMW MOAL Second Saturday Ride-2-Eat from Huntsville to Corinth, MS, on 10Sept of course!

Whoever wants to attend can ride or drive to the Crossroads Rib Shack for a planned rendezvous at 12:15. We were going to visit the famous Slugburger Cafe, but we observed on 7Sept that their long countertop is too small to support an MOAL R2E, especially for a popular & busy cafe at lunch time! We sampled the BBQ & Ribs at the nearby Rib Shack and the food was good, the tables were plentiful, and the parking lot was paved. Street address: 201 US-72, Corinth, Mississippi; 662-284-4646

We will leave the Blue Plate Cafe on Governor’s Drive after the usual North Alabama Vintage Bikers breakfast [~0845] heading cross country trying to avoid the major highways. The weather is projected to be rainy, but that could be random showers throughout the day and maybe big T’storms later in the afternoon. We’ve all ridden in the rain before, so our second Saturday ride will occur (without me knowing the total number of riders in advance).


The next stop after Lunch is the Lake Hills Honda Motorcycle dealership further east along the main drag: 2003 Highway 72 E Anx Corinth. They have a very respectable Vintage motorcycle display in three areas. Worth your time and awareness to come see with your own eyes. They close at 3PM on Saturday, so we won’t linger too very long. Stay as long as you want, and then everyone rides their own ride Home at their own pace...

Didn't hear back about this ride so I've planned another ride for Saturday. Could I suggest these posts be done earlier than the day before the ride? Y'all have fun!

So Sorry TX, I’ll try Not to have eye surgery next time you’re ready to Go! We’ll be at Barber’s Vintage Fest in October, so you’re once again left to Ride your own Ride!
Hasta la Vista, P&K

No problem Phil. Can't fault you for wanting the eyeballs fixed. I love Barber's so might make that trip. Going to the RA rally this month. I'll definitely be be riding that weekend.

We rode away from the Blue Plate Cafe with six bikers; we arrived for the Corinth lunch in a group of four. Mike’s Honda was acting up in the dampness, so he went home to fetch his trustworthy FJR. We found him later visiting the Honda dealership. Bill wandered off during our ride to CoddiWomple the “R” townships of Rogersville and Russellville (which he needed to finish spelling out Wander Farther). He reappeared in time for our tasty lunch at the Rib Shack, and Nadia {from Cherokee} dropped in for lunch as well. She’s had a tough year out on the farm, so this was her first ride on her F800GT all summer. Jim McCorstin gets the Long-Distance MOAL Rider’s award for departing BHM in the rain early enough to then meander west with Bill, Mike, Doug, Phil & Karen. Thanx for your enthusiasm, Jim!

After our fulfilling BBQ lunch at Crossroads Rib Shack, we rode the two miles east back to Lake Hill Motors. When everyone got their questions answered by Homer, the parts manager, four riders wandered into town to check out the historic Borroum’s Pharmacy - now a vintage deli and old-fashion soda fountain. It apparently was opened on the city square after the Civil war by confederate Dr A. J. Borroum. It nicely capped off a respectable ride where good food was had and everyone made it home in alive after riding 2 or 300 miles. Throughout the day we encountered cooler temperatures and only occasional spritzes; the ride was definitely more comfortable than our hot ride to the Bright Star in Bessemer last month!

Next month brings the annual Barber’s Vintage Festival, so y’all will just have to ride your Iron Butt to Leeds and join us in the Fan Zone for a wide variety of mobile food vendors. Nobody joined us four Vintage BMW Bikers in downtown BHM at Wasabi Juan’s last year, so we won’t try that experiment again. Lastly, I’m sure we’ll bump into some of our former BMWBMW riders at the end of September in Waynesville, NC; < https://bmwra.org/events/bmw-riders-...ational-rally/ >.

Y’all enjoy the remainder of your summer by riding your favorite motorcycle somewhere...
Ciao, Phil & Karen
