where is scotts? I have the day off tomorrow and might ride out there from Columbia?
Went riding yesterday. The destination was Scotts BBQ in Hemmingway. I took Hwy#6 to Santee and I-95 across Lake Marion. Then Hwy #261 to Brunsons Crossroads, just before the town of Hemmingway. Scotts was featured on the Food Network and was the subject of a newspaper article in the Myrtle Beach paper last week.
This is no fancy place by a longshot. It is a Black family owned country store and farm. It is take out and there is not much on the menu except pulled pork, chicken, and skins. I ordered 2 sandwiches at the takeout window inside the store. Served up by an elderly black lady, she weighed 1/2lb. of pork in styrofoam sandwich boxes and put 2 slices of Sunbeam loaf bread on top. I grabed a bag of skins and a Pepsi from the cooler, paid and went across the road to the dining area. It is an old run down shed in the barnyard with some old homemade picnic tables.
I went back towards Sumter. I was just crossing the I-95 overpass about 21 miles east of Sumter when my rear tire blew out. I had picked up a screw. I limped to a gas station and called HOG Roadside Assistance since I had used My AMA roadside twice last month. They sent a rollback and brought me home at no out of pocket cost to me. I was about due for a new tire anyway and had a new tire and tube at the house. I changed it out and the Street Bob is ready to go again.
I bought a set of mag wheels off a forum member here. I need to get off my butt and build them up and put them on the bike. If I had had tubeless tires on the bike I could have probly made it home just by adding some air. But I could have plugged it and been on my way in 15 minutes. I love the look of the black rims and chrome spokes but if you have a flat you are dead in the water. You ain't fixing it on the side of the road. I would hate to have to pay a shop to remove the rear wheel and replace a tube or maybe a tire and tube.

Was the pulled pork good? If so, I'll go there too. I kinda like those sort of places. Sometimes the best aint in a 5 star resturant. Still want to go to Jacks Cosmic Dogs in Mt. Pleasent. They were on Diners Dives and Drive Ins. I got a whole list from that show.

I heard it ends at 8pm. I will be working until 7. Otherwise, my wife and I would love to make it. 30% chance of rain means 70% chance of good weather. I believe I'd take those odds. I don't really mind getting wet, though.
