It's been Ten Days without 2 wheels and I get a little....actually a lot Crazy. But there was no drugs or alcohol involved, I never have touched the stuff. Riding on US 347 looking for a trail on my wife's Suzuki SP 125
Oooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo.
Alright, welcome to Riding with Ride-A-Ban.
This here is my interpretation of what Elmo was saying.
Like, if he was from the South and he was on a motorcycle,
Okay, I got to put my gloves back on. What's this? I'm going to shift without my gloves.
Oh yeah, that was another gear. That would be number 5 gear if you weren't paying attention.
Oh, I've got to turn on my camera now. Okay, there we go. This is Elmo. Elmo Rider Man.
I'm going to be riding for a little while while we talk like we're from the South and we're from Elmo World.
And I don't even know why I'm doing this because I don't even watch Elmo. My son doesn't like Elmo.
He usually watches that one guy, that pirate kid, you know, Jake, Jake the Pirate Man. Yes he does.
Okay, oh there's an old house. That's a really old house right there. We may be going to take a look at that little old house.
It's so old and it's so ugly. But it's probably been around since the 1800s. It has. That's what happens here in Tennessee.
There's a whole lot of old houses. So we're going to go look at it. We're going to drive down that driveway.
And they're probably going to come out with the shotgun and go BAM, BAM, BAM! But hopefully that won't happen.
Oh it won't because see this here? That here thing right there? That's a rope with some ribbon on it.
But look at that old house. See how that's got a porch? Oh yes it does. Look and they boarded up those more windows.
So them poor people, they can't open them windows and get any air. Them poor people.
What do we got over there? Look at that. There's some buttercups. That's what those are. Those are little buttercups. Yes they are.
Okay, now we got, oh, look at that. There's a poor porch. It's all slack.
You ever heard, oh that was thunder. Yes it was. We might have to leave now because there's some thunder.
But this here's an old house. See how it's got the tin roof and it's got a lightning rod on the top. You see that?
It's got two, three of them. Wow! One, two, three lightning rods. Isn't that interesting?
You'd think one would be enough, but no. They were really afraid of them lightnings. Yes they were.
But I wonder if anybody lives here. I just don't. Well they mow their grass. Yes they do.
So somebody's been here. Somebody's been taken. Uh-oh. Don't die on me, Sergeant. Here we go.
Okay, we're getting on leave now. Say bye. Bye, old house. Bye, old house.
Okay, we gonna go now. Let's go this way. Ouch, I'm stuck. I'm stuck on something.
Oh, I gotta stop. Oh, I gotta stop here. I'm stuck. There we go.
Ah, yes. See this? This is how I listen to music when I'm riding.
But then I got my other head sitting because I have a microphone.
Okay, here we go. Off we go. Tally-ho!
There's an American flag. Yes, there is. Here in the South, we like America.
We like America a whole lot.
There's some old ladies. See that? They're living in trailers. That's a single line.
Yes, it is. There's lots of those. Oh, there's another one.
Oh, there's another one. There's another one. There's another one.
Boy, they're just everywhere.
Boy, them single trailers, they just taking over.
That's one, too, but they made that one look pretty. Yes, they did.
That's a pretty trailer.
Ah, let's see here. What else we gonna talk about?
There's all kinds of pretty stuff.
Look at them cows. There's four of them.
Oh, that's four black cows over there. There's another flag.
Yes, there's plenty of flags. Lots of flags. There's a bird.
Oh, we got lots of... Oh, there's a... That's another thing in the South.
We got lots of those. Those are called a riding on board.
And everybody's got one.
Everybody wants to ride on them all.
Nobody wants to push. Everybody's fat.
Everybody's overweight.
It's sad. It's sad. Hello, old man.
There we go.
There's lots of old men out here, too.
Sometimes they're not really old. They just look like they're old
because they smoke a lot of smokies, like a cigarette.
And they drink a lot of alcohol.
Well, maybe not so much alcohol.
Maybe they're caught in the moonshine. Yes, they do.
Oh, look, there's another flag.
And that was the Goshen Valley Fire Department.
That's where we are. We're in the Goshen Valley.
And there's a mountain up there. I'd like to go up there.
I've actually been up there on my feet.
I have to go walk on it. Yes, I do.
Okay. Oh, there's a Honda Civic.
Let's probably go up there. That happens a lot.
Oh, another flag. See, they're just all over the place.
We love America. Yay for America.
Woo-hoo. It's almost the 4th of July. Yes, it is.
Here in the South, we love the South.
Oh, there's another flag. You see that?
Boy, we are loaded with another one.
That one looks like it's upside down, though.
Okay.
Well, we have lots of parades, and everybody goes down to parades.
And you get all the guys in there.
There's lots of tractors and lots of motorcycles.
They go in and out.
There's lots of cool stuff in our parades.
Yes, there are. We do lots of parades here in the South.
Okay. There's some hay.
There's lots of hay in the South.
And that's a baler right there.
They make big, rolly balers.
Oh, look, they're doing that right there. See that?
He's pushing it in a roll, and then he's going to hop on that other tractor.
And then that other tractor is going to make a big roll out of it.
And we'll see it over here. I promise you.
There's all over the place.
But right here, see, they just cut it down.
And then that got... Oh, look, there's some turkey buzzards.
Turkey buzzards. Right there. Two of them.
I wonder what's this. I'm going to stay in there.
That tractor went through and killed an animal.
That's what happened.
I can't see... Oh, there's someone.
Oh, I'm too short.
Okay, here we go. Over there. No, the hill's in the way.
Dang it. I can't see the rolls.
Them rolls of hay, they're so big,
they don't even hardly fit in the back of a pickup.
No, they don't.
Okay, let's see.
What else can we do?
Let's shift some gears again.
This time I used a clutch.
Didn't have to, but I did.
Didn't want to hurt my clutch.
Okay. Oh, there we go.
Mountain View Bar.
I don't know which mountain they're viewing, because they're all over.
I wonder which one.
If they have a specific mountain that they're viewing,
or just all of them.
There should be mountains, plural, with an S.
There should be mountains of these.
Yes, there should. Oh, there's a flag.
Oh, that's a rebel flag. That's a rebel flag right there.
Yes, here in the South. We like the rebels.
But that's okay.
Because they still know we're part of the U.S.
We don't want to be part of the South anymore.
We're part of the big nation.
Oh, there's a moose right there.
Okay, here we go.
Onward and down the hill.
Down the hill, blue roof on that single wire.
I think that's a double wire.
They took two of those and put them together.
And made a double wire trailer.
I'm sure they have those everywhere.
Oh, and there's a travel trailer down there.
That's a travel trailer with a single wire.
Boy, they've got all kinds of trailers on that house.
Let's see here.
What else they got? Oh, there's a pony.
Yes, there is. There's a big pony right over there.
Oh, yes.
What else we got?
Oh, there's a mustang. That's a pretty car.
Oh, there's five of them. Five mustangs right there.
Wow, not the ponies.
Okay, this is cool. I like this part.
Okay, another house. Another single wire.
They're all over. But look at this poor truck.
This poor truck. Nobody's moved this truck in decades.
Look at that.
It's just full of leaves and full of trees.
And it's just everything going up through there.
That poor truck.
It's not going nowhere.
It's probably all broken inside.
That poor truck.
But, you know, when you've got leaves coming out of it,
it's hard to go anywhere.
There's a whole tree in there.
Oh, there's a house.
They probably had enough money to build the walls
and nothing else.
Oh, yes, they just had to let the leaves take it over.
Just let the leaves
take it over.
That poor house.
Oh, let's see here.
Oh, that's Sullivan County. Yes, we are.
Oh, there's Greentown and I'm going to Sullivan County.
And poor Greentown doesn't even have a sign.
They don't even tell you where you are.
They're so poor in Greentown.
Okay.
That's probably enough, Elmo,
because my throat's starting to hurt.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Ah, the silliness
is taking over. I'm just happy to be back on
the bike after two, ten days
of no two wheels.
That's what happens. You go crazy.
And you've got to get on the bike and you've got to ride
and you've got to come back and it's
full. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Okay. Well, now we're going to go.
We're going to go climb that mountain.
I hope so. That's what we're going to do.
We're going to go climb that mountain
and then we'll find it.
Okay. I'm going to turn off my
I hope it's still on. It is. Yes, it is.
Oh, there's some water on the road. Be careful with the water.
It makes you slip.
Okay. There's another old house. That's a really old house.
There's an old barn. They're everywhere.
Everywhere here in Tennessee.
Okay.
Now, maybe it's up here already.
I tried to shift and I was already there.
Okay. I'm going to go by now.
Oh, this is a dangerous curve, though.
So, better not. I'm going to keep recording.
Yes, I am, until I have a nice
ahhhh! Another turn! I've got to turn
the bike. Oh, it's so
crazy. Oh, there's another church.
See? There's churches everywhere.
There's an old old house.
It's a poor old house. It's fallen down.
Okay. Another turn. Another turn.
Oh, I've never been this way. I'm going to go this way.
I'm going to go get lost. I'm going to ride a map.
I'm going to go find out where I can go.
Okay, okay, here we go. I'm going to turn this off. Maybe I'll find something interesting.
Who knows? I don't know how long I've been recording. All I know is that my throat is kind of sore now.
Woo-hoo!
Okay, that's a F-150 with dual exhaust.
You see that in Tennessee all the time too. Everybody buys a truck and then they have to put two exhaust pipes on it.
And then you always try to drive in a hat.
Everybody has a hat on in Tennessee. Yes, they do.
Okay, now. Okay, let's see.
Now this is boring. Okay, I'm going to turn off this camera.
Oh, there's another flag. See, there's lots of flags in Tennessee.
Oh, they're all decorated for 4th of July.
Okay, okay, let's see here. Oh, there's a one lane bridge.
I've got to be careful. Okay, I've got my glove off. It's secured with my leg.
Here we go, the bridge! Yes, sir! Whee!
Okay, we're going to turn off this camera now. Okay, see ya. Bye-bye.
Okay, wait a minute. Where did the sound go?
Am I still recording? Yes, I am. Okay, I'm going to go bye-bye now. See ya.
