So I was out cruising my favorite dirt roads today in the gale force winds and fog banks of pollen when I came upon the coolest thing!
When I stopped, the owner came out. He showed it off while explaining all the cool stuff he did. The truck was a pasture find. Everything was rebuilt from the customized frame up! Some of the things that look like fuel tanks are actually storage compartments, propane, water, a boat(!), and more. It was all very cool!
Then we started talking about motorcycles. It turns out he’s a rider as well. He also holds several motorcycle land speed records. His name is Charles Nichols. He custom built a diesel bike for his runs after being inspired by the movie about Burt Munro. You can find more info about him with a basic Google search. He’s a really nice guy and fun to chat with.
I love these kinds of random encounters.
Oh yeah, red bud trees were blooming like crazy! I even saw some nice dogwoods blooming.
