I bought my 2013 on July 20 and 2 weeks later after I got my 1000 mile service done I rode from MD to NC for a BBQ sandwich (I ate 3, they were very good!), and came home. The server asked if I was in town (guessing she noticed my non-southern accent) for the weekend and I told her Ralph’s came highly recommended by a friend so I needed to find out for myself how good they were. I’m here just for lunch and I’m riding home. The look on her face was priceless!

577 miles round trip. It was a great ride!

Once went approx. 600 miles round trip just for a burger. From Louisiana to Florida and back. This is after getting off working a 12 hour shift. People always ask why we did it. They don't understand it.

Nothing wrong with "Eat To Ride, Ride To Eat". We have done Central Florida to Savannah, GA for dinner and back. I do back roads, so we did stay over night. Even got to see Paula Dean in an apron at Uncle Bubba's, and talked to her husband Michael, who also rides, while he was eating at the bar.
