I spent the next 4 hours driving south to Tenn. LoL!.We found an old gas station converted into a bar just over the line,cold beer,homemade wine..and some clear "private-stock", stuff along with alot of good humor explaining what a couple of Yankees were doing in they're neck of the woods this time of night...We have the absolute BEST times on our Road-trips, sampling slices of average American life..Try it!
Nothing against Kentucky or it's people..just a case of cottonmouth.

..LoL!.. The wife and I were on a road-trip a couple of years back, we stopped in a mid-sized Kentucky town..after walking into the Holiday Inn lobby and signing the paperwork I looked around and asked where a fella might find the lounge for a couple of cold beers after a long drive..The gentleman behind the counter responded with..Sir,..this is a DRY county.

Username meaning.
When I first moved to OK from AK, I started riding motorcycles with a bunch of clean and sober guys and there was already a couple of Daves (Poo Poo Dave the plumber and F#&^ng Dave, aptly named for his prolific use of the F word) so,... I was called Yukon Dave and people thought I lived in Yukon, OK just west of OKC instead of realizing I had just moved here from the real Yukon up north.
So, to avoid that confusion, mainly because he got tired of explaining to people he was talking to about where I was from, one guy started calling me Grizz because he thought I looked like Grizzly Adams with the long hair and scruffy beard.
When I joined Bikers Against Child Abuse I used Grizz for my road name.
Hence, BACAGrizz.
P.S. The first time I joined this forum, I was still living in AK and it was just a list server with a place to store some photos and I used AKBiker as my username.

Okay, I'll join in with this one!
The Flathead Meltdown is a race class I organise over here in the UK, specifically for (you guessed it...) flatheads! Some of the guys over here are knocking out some extremely quick times. We've got a few V8s in to the 12s and a four-banger in the 15s, all on bias-ply tires. You can find out more here...

My 4 older brothers called me Walston when I was a kid. With a name like Wally, I have had lots of nicknames, but this one always seems to come back.

As I do a lot of writing (wordsmithing) for a living - I thought I'd try something original - it worked and its stuck ever since.
