Hahahahah . . . just one of the Largest Buell Gatherings ever.
I wrote about it quite a bit at the time . . . . It was special to me since it was the 3rd "First Annual" Buell Owners gathering I'd been to.
It was the very first B.R.A.G. event and was planned by Nora and Amy . . . . the turn out was amazing even though, at the time, Buell had made less than 1,000 bikes.
Your memory is leaving you.
I'll find all the photos (it was long before digital) as I continue to dig through these boxes. |

By the way . . . . if you were familiar with Trademark 76113217 and had read the material . . . . you would have seen the story.
My memory is going to . . . . . |

I realized while all the places i listed have awesome food they've not really ride destinations. A good question would be favorite places to eat while on a great ride..or at the end of a great ride.. |

I remember a cafe/diner/gift shop joint at the intersection with the road that heads to the north rim of the grand canyon. I remember good grub there, no idea what the name was, though. Fantastic roads in that area. |

My original post was more in regards to places to eat along the way... not as an actual destination in and of itself. Somehow, it turned into that, though.
When you're on the road in an unfamiliar place, sometimes the only thing you can count on is a known chain. I just tend to drift towards chains that aren't local to me... I can ALWAYS eat at McDonald's, for example... but I can only eat at a Waffle House or a Cracker Barrel when I'm on the road. |

If you are riding on Route 1 through Big Sur, give Fernwood a try (just north of the campgrounds). There's a restaurant, bar, store and cabins. You can sit on the deck off the bar and see nothing but woods. |

When you start rolling out trademark numbers, I'm afraid you've really lost me!
The lodge atop Mount Magazine and also the one in Petite Jean State Park, both in Arkansas, are great destination lunch spots with amazing views.
Geesh, can't forget the Queen Wilhelmina lodge on Skyline Drive just over the OK border in AR. |

Beckie's Cafe, Union Grove, OR. Best banana creme pie I have had. Was on our way to Crater Lake, NP and stopped there by reference. |

Couple of places I noted in Nova Scotia:
The Sou'Wester at Peggy's Cove. Usually VERY crowded, but worth the wait for the fresh seafood.
Alice's Restaurant on Cape Breton Island makes the best Fish Chowder I've ever had.
And, of course, there's this famous place on the way to North Sydney (Cape Breton):

Damn, and if we're talking about Nova Scotia, there's Hall's Harbor on the Bay of Fundy for the best damned lobster you've ever had.

I'm not a huge fan of diners or of chicken fried steak. However, if you ever find yourself near the central coast of California (SLO & maybe SB counties) check out Margie's Diner & their chicken fried steak. They have a few locations & they seem to generally be visible off the 101. I know mom taught you to how to eat with a knife & fork, but you will simply not need your knife. Fork Tender chicken fried steak.
Just sayin'....
