Check Ride Rte 66


OK, So those of you who know me personally know that I am an instructor on a military post out in the Mid-West, for those of you who don't well, now you do.  At any rate, we have to take our military students who are motorcyclists on a check ride before they are allowed to ride on post.  It's part of a whole Motorcycle Mentorship Program that the Army has set up to help make new riders safer.  I was picked up for the job of taking these guys out on their check ride.  Pretty sweet I thought, and it turned out to be a great day and a great ride.  We got to see a lot of great Americana out on the mother road.  The following photographs chronicle that ride!  Enjoy!
