Charly's gloves and shoes matched her bike. Glad yall have the chance to live life, ride when you want or just relax on the front porch. Stay safe. 👍
You ain’t seen nothing yet! Wait till she puts on her matching leather vest. I swear she has one!
Thankful that both of you got back home safely. Their was an angel sitting on your handle bars. FWIW..... Years ago, one of my brothers hit a bad spot in the road, ended up going down an embankment followed by a stay in the hospital. Don't think he ever rode again. Around here, it doesn't take crossing a state line to see a difference in quality of "infrastructure". Often, it's simply crossing a county line. Ranging from maintenance to traffic, it's quite obvious. Especially when crossing the county line south of me.
The lack of heavy traffic was one thing that impressed me with your prior ride. A beautiful thing to see. That's disappeared around here, even on our 2 lane blacktop, that was one of the last to be paved, in this county.
Hope each of you have a great day. God Bless & Godspeed.
The difference in traffic between the two states is bewildering since both states have an economy largely based on oil and gas. My theory is that Louisiana has such a massive quantity of those on the dole and can’t afford to keep the roads up.
Glad y’all got out today because rain is coming!
Much rain come! White man say, sick of rain! Rain dance work to good.
Oh oh,,,, I think I just did a racist.
Honestly, I can't remember bad roads in Texas, even the back country roads I drove on were decent. Here in NY, it's always road construction season.
I really enjoy these videos watching and listening to you and Charly living life on your time!!
Very light traffic here too. Not many places I haven’t been to in New York. Even on fort drum.
At least it was a beautiful day for a ride.Too bad the roads where bad and the homemade tamales turned into too gas station food, but you survived. Some plans just turn out wrong, but now you know never too go back again and a trip to remember. Have a wonderful day and tell Charly, Happy Mother’s Day!
Even though the roads were bad and no tamales, it was still better than sitting around watching myself get old and fall apart.
@@bctruck I’m with y’all on that, lol
We’re headed from Tennessee down to Louisiana next week. Going to Natchitoches to visit family. There’s a place in Zwolle where we go to get tamales. It’s not a restaurant. The place has always been very clean. I usually buy 5or 6 dozen to bring back to Tennessee. We also bring back some meat pies from Natchitoches. And you’re right about the roads, if you didn’t have dentures when you got there, you will have them by the time you leave, because the roads will vibrate all your teeth out.
About 40 years ago, I went through Zwolle and bought some at a road side stand. I liked them. I wish I could have found a better place. I drove this roads around there for a couple years when I was doing oil field work. I do not remember the roads ever being this bad.
You are doing the right thing. Every day is another chance.
We like to live minute by minute. We use to live paycheck to paycheck.
You always have time to enjoy the memories, living in the present, and enjoying the moment is what it’s all about.
I think I may have hurt someone feeling when I changed my plans at the last minute. He is a young guy so he hasn’t lived a lifetime of have someone else control his time. By the time you get to be our age, you’ve kind of had your fill of other people’s demands on your day.
@@bctruck Yea, as you grow older you realize not everything is the big deal you once thought it was.... ;-)
You live and learn. I drove threw Texas and Louisiana back in the 70s during the big gas shortage from my brother's place in California to Fort Gordon, Georgia. Don't remember the roads being all that bad. But that was 50 some years ago. I'll stay up north in Idaho probably for the rest of my life. Thanks for the ride.
It was about 5 years ago that I drove oil field equipment on these roads. They weren’t bad at all back then but that’s what has destroyed them.
I'm really enjoying my retired life too.
Y'all need to find that "buns of steel" VHS tape and tighten up if you're going to ride that far in Louisiana...hahaha
Be safe out there
I have buns of steel! I could hammer nails in with these buns.
@@bctruck hahaha
When we lived in Texas, we drove though Oklahoma and it was night and day as far as roads. The roads in Oklahoma could barely be considered asphalt. We felt like shake and bake after going though there.
I hate to hear that. Our next big ride is to broken bow lake.
TripAdvisor review, Roads are terrible, you'll have to pee so bad you can taste it, generally doesn't end with 5 stars. Glad you made it back to The Republic of Texas in one piece.
The instant I got back into Texas, the roads were good again. Had a great ride back.
We rode to Zwolle years ago. It was about the same as your encounter.
All these years hearing talk about zwolle tamales and we finally go there and there was no place I would dare eat.
I did a lot of fishing in Toledo bend.
Very nice lake!
The only times I ever went into Louisiana was when I was going from my home in Irving (Dallas) to my folks house for Christmas when I lived in Texas.
We took I-20 over to Shreveport...down 49 to Baton Rouge...then I-10 to Mobile, AL...701 miles door-to-door.
And that is all of LA that I ever wanted to see.
I worked in grapevine and Irving, I use to get my truck worked on over on mockingbird lane.
Next time go to Zwolle in Netherlands 🇳🇱
Better roads for sure 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Oh yeah, I'm sorry... that's in Europe 😂😂😂😂
Have a nice weekend, guys! I'm working today with my boss, we have some mechanical exercises on trailers...
Hey Tomo!! I’ll bet Sir Patrick is nearly in college now!
@@bctruck almost 😆😆😆😆😆
On May 27th he'll turn 6 😉
Here in West Virginia you almost have to have knobby tires on your bike to climb out of the potholes.
Did y’all go down hwy5 through Longstreet into Logansport. I grew up in Longstreet. Roads have always been bad but oilfield has tore it up worse over the years. Especially hwy 5 and 789 if you took it from I-20.
Yep. 5/789/85/191. Terrible roads. Just crumbling and pot holes that go all the way down to the road beds.
Yep figured when you talk about bad roads and going to zowolle I wonder if going across to Texas and heading back down thru Carthage would of added much to the trip back.
@@johnlee4177 that’s how we came back. 6,to 87,to 96,to 79.
Ahhh Pendleton Bridge! Brings back memories.
The lake is beautiful but the surrounding area is sort of like lake bisteneau. Million dollar home on one lot and a bunch of hippies living in a school bus on the next lot.
@@bctruck They gotta cook that meth somewhere lol. The only time to get good tamales in Zwolle is during the Tamale festival in October I believe.
Beautiful day for a ride and what a difference crossing the border makes😂😂
That’s for sure.! I’m done riding in Louisiana. There are way to many roads to explore here in Texas.
I retired at 40. Not cus I was rich but I bought a small condo and said Screw You to the rat race. I recommend it. No need to be a slave longer than you Have to. I'm 53 now and just getting into motorcycles.
A good ride if you wanted that 1000 miles would be into the Texas hill country.
I already have a 1000 mile ride planned out. Flying J truck stop in Shreveport, west to the pilot truck stop west of Odessa Texas and back.
Be careful in Odessa they are probably some of the worst drivers there.
I went through Odessa 4 times a week for 12 years. I even lived there for about 6 months.
I’m working here now. Work a two on, one week off rotation here in Odessa for Halliburton.
@@johnlee4177 Halliburton, out there west of Odessa? Where do you live?
Louisiana roads where worse than I remember when we drove to Florida
I can tell you that after 2/3rds of my life spent driving the interstates in every state, Louisiana has the worst roads without question. They also have the highest incidences of road rage on the interstate and the highest rate of shootings on the roads. Oh, one more notable accomplishment,,, the have the highest rate of uninsured drivers than any other state. It’s a true democrat shithole.
That road sound like the interstate west of Indianapolis
I don’t remember 70 being bad but I always took the loop.
sooo funny
I'm so sorry your visit in our town wasn't so pleasant. Yes I agree the roads are awful. But I'm thinking you didn't go to the right spot for tamales. Never buy from the factory. L&W has the best. Very clean. Send me your address I'll mail you some frozen.
Thats very kind, but I think we are over the tamales.
i like garage sales
Me too, when I’m in my truck and can carry more stuff home.
I avoid democrat controlled areas when possible. The nicest things there are the politician’s homes! lol Glad you survived the ride.
It’s the same in any state. Wherever democrats have been in control for any length of time, crime rises, businesses leave, roads crumble,good cops leave, D.C. ,Chicago, Detroit,Portland, Austin, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport. City after city that the dems gain control of , turn into cess pools of humanity, yet, there is no danger of people recognizing that and changing how they vote. Our country is doomed because there are so many stupid people that can’t connect the dots.
Yeah the roads suck, but plenty of moochers on the gubbmint tit
I live in Louisiana our roads are Dog shit and you are right about Democrats have fucked up this state
Campti is worse I think...
Y'all have pretty bikes. I like motorcycles but people will kill you now days. I have friends that were almost killed by a drunk driver. I am stuck in Louisiana hell. I am creeping closer to Texas though. lol My vet is in Waskom.
My wife and I just moved to Texas about 3 years ago. We lived in sibley Louisiana for about 27 years.
Lol Zwolle, hell no!
My wife said it was 35 years ago since she was there last and it was a $4ithole back then
Hot tamales are good in zwolle
if you want to do something , dont put it off
You in the ozarks now???
@@bctruck i bought land in the ozarks and am building a place there , 5 hurricanes passed over my house last year .
I envy you. I love the ozarks.
