EXPEDITION 001: DAY 4/15
Amarillo, TX → Springfield, MO
Route 66. Two flags. Good people. And chasing a sunset.
The mission for Day 4 was simple make our way to Joplin to visit our friends Frank and M e g h a n at Speed Dealer Customs
Along the way, we got the opportunity to meet up with our good buddy Mike Aldridge Dad, an Air Force veteran, who was very honored to help with our mission.
There’s something pretty damn special about crossing the country and having people willing to meet us along the way and become part of this thing.
It was an honor to shake his hand, spend some time with him and leave another new flag flying.
From there, we made our way to the House of Speed Joplin
We rolled in fully prepared to be curious little squirrels and ask them about everything in the building.
Instead, something pretty cool happened.
They wanted to hear our story too.
We walked through such a historic building, heard the history behind the House of Speed, and listened to Frank bring it all back to life through his stories.
We’ve watched what Frank has been building over the years, but getting to slow down and experience it with them was something completely different. It felt like we weren’t meant to be there.
We went there wanting to hear their story.
Turns out, they wanted to hear ours too.
Eventually, we had to point the bike toward Springfield.
Two flags retired. Route 66. Great people, amazing stories and a sunset worth chasing. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your world.
Just one solid day on the road.
Love ya, Jay
