PODCAST SPECIAL: Rust Revival Spring Thaw at Red River Gorge.

This past weekend we had a blast down at the Red River Gorge in beautiful Kentucky. This rally was put on by Logan and Amanda Miller of Rust Revival (http://www.rustrev.com/). Posted as a Do The Ton event on www.dotheton.com it went from May 17th to the 20th. We rode twisty mountain roads, drank I think ever kind of beer known to man, and ate delicious food (all cooked by wonder woman Amanda herself). It was great to see familiar faces from past DTT events as well as meet many new people. We can't thank Logan and Amanda enough for providing us with such a great location and such a great weekend. Of course our trusty R2 unite came along and many of the attendees joined us for a podcast out on the porch of our beautiful lodgings. Please enjoy and be sure to check out Rust Revivals website for some very cool and unique vintage motorcycle related apparel.

Welcome to the next episode of Cleveland Moto. You'll notice a bit of a difference. After a couple of years we've decided to ditch the intro and outro.
