TBRN takes a field trip to South Georgia to talk to Keith Rucker of www.vintagemachinery.org about his shop, restoring vintage metalworking machines, and his volunteer work at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture. The episode beings with the sounds of the 1917 Vulcan narrow-gauge steam locomotive that Keith helps keep on the rails at the museum.
Be sure to check out Keith's Youtube Channel to see what projects he's working on in the shop this week.
After a long hiatus, TBRN is back! In this episode, my longtime friend Derrick Wooten joins the show. We chat about our journey in the car world together, our various projects, and the binder for all of it, Turbobricks, THE Volvo performance community.
Derrick is a Charlotte-based Volvo service technician, photographer, blogger, and one hell of a driver. Check out his website at cltautospot.blogspot.com for more of what's going on in his world.
Stay tuned for a couple of great upcoming TBRN episodes!
I join my good friend Josh Luckadoo to discuss our recent motorcycle trip from the extreme western point of North Carolina to the extreme eastern tip along the original route of US-64 as it ran in 1932. The trip took us through dozens of small towns that the highway bypasses have forgotten,
Beginning at the tripoint of TN, GA, and NC, we wound our way though towns like Clay's Corner, Valdese, Conetoe, Williamston, and so many more, meeting some really interesting people along the way and making a memory we'll never forget.
The Greenhouse Moto Cafe in Mills River, NC, is a lot of things...a vintage motorcycle collection, a live music venue, a craft beer lover's paradise, but owner Jeff Herold sums it up as a "dive bar, and a damn good one". Now entering their fourth season The Greenhouse has become a destination for beer drinkers and motorcycle riders, and all manner of people that overlap those interests.
Join TBRN as we talk with Jeff about his motorcycle collection and how The Greenhouse came to be.
Also, be sure and stop in to check them out any Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evening from Spring to Fall. For more info, check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/thegreenhousemotocafe
This week, TBRN takes a trip to the Tail of the Dragon, US-129, Deal's Gap, or to locals, simply "The Mountain" to talk with Darryl 'Killboy' Cannon, the original Tail of the Dragon photographer. We'll talk about big wheel racing, naked hitchhiking, and his journey to becoming the fixture on the mountain that he is today.
