Hey there, welcome back to Throttled.  Given Larry has recovered from his accident so quickly, he decided to take a little trip and left me without a co-host this week.  Well, what is one to do?  I called my buddy over at LoudPipes and Rich was gracious enough to be my co-pilot tonight.

Once again Larry and Kevin come together to discuss what’s going on in the world of motorcycling.  Our shows wouldn’t be right if we didn’t start off talking about the riding during the week.  Unfortunately, Larry had a small mishap with a ladder.  Great news is other than some bumps, bruises and a little missing hand skin he is ok.  Larry’s accident could have been a whole lot worse if he hadn’t been wearing proper gear, including his inflatable neck brace.

Wow, what a weekend! First there is the Barber Vintage Festival, then Kevin was able to take some rides and break bread with a few listeners, and let’s not forget Hurricane Nate messing up some of the plans.  No matter Nate, we survived and had a great time.  Of course we discuss riding and Larry has a little correction to make from the last show regarding one of the new Harleys.

Summer is ending we hope you get out there and ride.  Thanks for tuning in this week, as always we start by talking about our riding. Roads for Barber visitors to try and ride from two locations 1st – Oak Mountain State Park State park road heading to Oak Mountain from HWY 119 is one of my favorite, tree canopy short < 5 miles There is a back entrance to the park (or at least us to be) and the road through the park is a nice ride. 39/331 one that I want to ride Different roads heading out to Columbiana 2nd – Barber itself From HWY 280 and I-459 take Sicard Hollow to Rex lake If you are staying north of that area closer to down town Birmingham take Overton on the way to I-459 then hit Liberty Parkway and that will run into Sicard Hollow State HWY 25 – some call it the Alabama dragon ( I wouldn’t go that far) but a fun little road, watch your speed there are a few blind hairpins. Ride through the Talladega National forest, some dirt roads some paved but you can have a ton of fun on either or both Throttled

After a few weeks of interviews we are back to full strength and recording live.  In the past few weeks a lot has happened and we cover some of that, but most importantly Larry has returned and gives us a envy inducing account of his trip.  Kevin takes just a moment to tell of his riding while Larry was away, which after calculation only accounts for one day of Larry’s ride.  Way to go Larry!!

While Larry is finishing his epic trip across North America I had the pleasure of sitting down and talking with Alberto Hernandez.  Alberto operates the YouTube channel Florida Outdoor Adventures.  As always we discuss his riding background and where he is today.  Once we finished the obligatory “tell me about your bikes section”, we turn the show towards his adventures and why he got into creating content for YouTube.  I really enjoyed my conversation with Alberto and look forward to bumping into him at the Barber Vintage Festival this October if our schedules align.
