A Cool Mororcycle Destination In Bostic, North Carolina

     Often when you go out to enjoy riding your motorcycle in the Carolinas, you like to have a destination.  A destination just puts a little definition to the day.


     It is ok to go ride with no particular destination in mind.  Having a destination is just better.  A destination also creates a "maximum" to the day.

     If you live in Charlottte or or Spartanburg or Greenville, South Carolina or  Hendersonville or Asheville or Hickory, North Carolina and if seventy miles is a desirable length for an afternoon stroll, here is a suggestion.

     Ride over to the Blue Ridge Distillery in  Golden Valley, North Carolina.  The Blue Ridge Distillery makes Defiant Whiskey.  Many people believe this is the best whiskey on Earth.  https://www.defiantwhisky.com/ 
  You can decide for yourself if you ride to the distillery.  They will give you a sample. http://craftdistillerytours.com/city/bostic-8542/listing/blue-ridge-distilling/  Between Rutherfordton and Interstate 40 on highway 64 there is a state road 226.  Head east on highway 226 from Hiway 64 for four miles.  You will see a sign that tells you to turn right here to get to the distillery.  It is not a big sign.  Keep a sharp eye out for it.

The official address is on Girl Scout Road. Bring your own picnic lunch.  Enjoy the serene environment.  If you are a large group, it would be best if you call and let them know that you are coming. 828 245 2041
Harley Davidson of Chimney Rock is NOT the largest Dealer in Carolina
         

     When you go home, go home by a different route.  I don't need to tell you that.  You know that.  If you are from the south, follow highway 74 A out of Rutherfordton.  Go through Lake Lure and Chimney Rock.  Did you know there is a Harley Dealer in Chimney Rock?  https://www.facebook.com/chimneyrockhd     If you are headed north towards Asheville or Swananoa stay on Hiway 74 A when you leave Chimney Rock, the next town is  Bat Cave.  www.chimneyrockpark.com
From Bat Cave, North Carolina to Asheville is 22 exciting miles
  If you like "motorcycle roads", you will love Hiway 74 A between Bat Cave, North Carolina and Interstate 40.  It does not get much better than this.  As you come into the community of Fairview, keep your eye out for Brewskie's.  It is right on Hiway 74 A.  Stop in and have a cold beer at a real biker bar.                                        
Hiway 74 A between I- 40 and Bat Cave. Stop in at Brewskies
  If you are headed south toward Spartanburg, or Greenville, South Carolina, leave Chimney Rock head on into Bat Cave and then into  Hendersonville on Hiway 64.  A road like this is why we love bikes  When you get to Hendersonville, don't get on that interstate.  Stay on Hiway 64.  Cross Interstate 26 and go into downtown Hendersonville.  Turn left on Main Street. Follow Main Street to U.S. 176 and take U.S. 176  into Saluda.  The oldest grocery store in North Carolina is in Saluda.  They also have public rest rooms at the park in the middle of town.  Leave Saluda on U.S. 176 head down the steepest grade in the eastern United States toward Tryon, North Carolina  .Ride with caution.  Forget the view. Let your passenger enjoy the view.  Keep both eyes on the road and both hands on the handlebars.    About halfway down the mountain you will see a sign for Pearson Falls.   http://www.pearsonsfalls.org/ 
If you have never seen Pearson Falls, it is worthwhile to stop. Pay the two dollars.  Walk a half mile and see it.  Take your camera.
     At the bottom of the mountain on U.S. 176 is Tryon North Carolina.  When you get to the state line between Tryon and Landrum, South Carolina, there is Bird Mountain Wine and Liquor.  Stop in and say hello to Ken.  Tell him about today's adventure.  He will let you use his clean rest room.  He also has Defiant Whiskey if you forgot to buy some at the distillery.  If you are headed south into South Carolina, you can also remove your helmet but Sir Issac Newton does not recommend that. The governor of South Carolina,  Nikki Haley says you are smart enough to decide for yourself. Watch this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s30px9xoHKo

Now, you are officially in South Carolina, you can keep going south on U.S. 176 until you pass Campobello and Inman.  Something will start to look familiar.  This is  a good day.  Remember; A bad day riding a motorcycle is better than a good day at work.

Drink Some Google Juice, It Is Healthy

     What is Google juice?  The first time I ever heard that word was in 2009.  An acquaintance told me that my business was in severe need of some Google juice.  I, of course, asked what was Google juice.  He explained to me that Google juice is to your business what spinach is to Popeye the sailor man. 

     If you are in business, you need Google juice.  In 2009, my business needed Google juice.  I did not even know what Google juice was.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_juice   Drinking Google juice is one of the ways you can increase your website's ranking with Google.  Why would you want to do that?  You will do more business.  That is why.  You need to drink a little Google juice every day.  When some one offers you some Google juice, drink it and say,"Thank you". 

     This is the twenty first century.  You need a online presence. http://ronclimer.blogspot.com/2012/03/twenty-first-century-reputation.html    You can run you business the same way you did in 1990.  You can drink some Google juice and do more business in the twenty first century.  It is your choice.

     If you clicked on the Wikipedia link above and read the definition of Google juice, you can see that other people have to link to your website.  The more people link to your website, the more Google juice you have.  More Google juice causes your website to appear higher up on Google's rankings.  There are ways to make this happen.  
Ron Climer can help.  Call me 828 755 6996


     Google yourself.  Googling yourself is like looking in the mirror.  If there is spinach in your teeth, you need to know.  Here is an example.  If your future next customer woke up this morning with a need for your services, where would he go to find you?  Did you answer Google?  What would he type into the search bar?  Type what you think your future next customer would type into the search bar.  Do you and your business come up on page one?  Fifty per cent of the Google users will not scroll to page two or page ten.

     Can you business survive and thrive without Google juice?  If you are not showing up on page one, the answer is yes, you can survive.  You are surviving now.  Would your business thrive more if you were on page one of Google.  Again, the answer is yes.

     If you are in business, you are in the promotion business.  Your number one job is to promote your business.  You may think you are an architect or a baker or a carpenter or a dentist or a exterminator or a farmer or a zookeeper.  You are a promoter.  Promoting your business is your most important job.  Drink some Google juice.

Mother's Showtime Car Wax is Incredible

     Last October, I took my 1961 Harley Davidson Super 10 to the Tryon Antique Car and Motorcycle Show. http://www.rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-tryon-rolling-art-antique-car-truck.html  Mother's car wax was a sponsor of that event.  As a participant, I received, in a goody bag, a free sample of Mother's Showtime car wax.

     In Preparation for the Charlotte Easy Rider Bike Show,  I polished my Super 10 with the free sample of Mother's.  THIS STUFF IS INCREDIBLE. I thought my little Harley was shiny.  This is a new level of shiny.  This is shinier than new.
Mother's California Gold

     I went to Advance Auto Parts.  I bought some Mother's chrome polish.  WOW!

     If you have a car or a bike that you really want to shine, get yourself some Mother's car wax.  This is good stuff.

Antiques Motorcycles Need Special Mecahnics In Carolina

     When you need a repair done to your antique motorcycle, you need a special mechanic.  When my 1961 Harley Davidson Super 10 would not start, I had to find a mechanic that knew what a Super 10 is.  My first phone call was to East Coast Cycles in Forest City, North Carolina.  Billy told me he did not really know "Hummers".  http://www.eastcoastcyclesnc.com/
Chesnee Classic Cycles is across from Chesnee Post Office


     He referred me to Myron in Saluda, North Carolina.  Myron told me he was not a "Hummer" expert but Dennis Harris at Chesnee Classic Cycles in Chesnee, South Carolina was.  I was off to Chesnee Classic Cycles.  
If you need repair on an antique bike, Call Randy 


     Taking your antique motorcycle to the repair shop is not the same as taking a modern bike to the shop. The last thing you want to hear is," What is that?".  Antique bikes and antique cars are special to the people that own them.  Any antique bike owner will appreciate the way that Pee Wee and Randy Bishop treated me.  They knew what a Super 10 was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_Hummer   They assured me that my Super 10 was in good hands.
Randy Bishop at Chesnee Classic Cycles fixed my Super 10

      The shop looked like 1961. I wrote my name and phone number on a piece of paper.  I felt comfortable leaving my 54 year old bike at Chesnee Classic Cycles.

     I went back today to pick it up.  It fired up on the second kick.  As we loaded it in the truck, Randy told me that he was proud to work on my antique bike.  I told Randy, if it needs any more work, I will be back to Chessnee Classic Cycles.

     If you have an antique motorcycle and you live any where near Chesnee, South Carolina, call Randy.  He won't say,"What is that?".

     If you have never been to Chesnee, South Carolina, put the last week end in July on your schedule.  Chesnee has "Antique Bikes On Main" .  It is a super bike show if you like old bikes.  http://www.antiquebikesonmain.com/  It is not as big as Daytona but it is a great day if you live anywhere in Carolina.  Check it out .  I will be there.
