Some of you found out that I ride my own Harley and asked me to blog about it. So, Here are a few pictures of my favorite sport.
Joe & I at the Cherokee, NC rally this year.
My little Sporster that I have been riding for 19 years! Still looking pretty darn good I must say.
The other side of my bike. Joe and his 23 year old Softail.
Over the years we have won first, second and third places with our bikes in shows back in the day.
I remember the day I got it for Christmas one year. The keys were in a jewelry box and I almost hit the kitchen ceiling. The next day I made Joe take in out of the garage and point it forward in the street. I was so afraid to ride it. We took off to the college parking lot where Joe taught me to ride. My first long ride was to Daytona Bike week and I begged everyone not to go real fast. They didn't listen and I was broke in that trip to keep up or get left behind. I been riding ever since.
Our stoneware is handcrafted in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina by Mike and Christy Barber. Every piece is wheel thrown by Mike before being hand carved by Christy. Finally, each piece is finished by spraying multiple layers of glaze before being fired to over 2100 degrees.
Are carvings and glazes take their inspiration from nature, where we spend our free time hiking and fly fishing. Our pottery is meant to be used and enjoyed. Every piece we make is oven, dishwasher, and microwave safe. We hope you will enoy using our pottery as much as we enjoy making it.
All stoneware pottery is oven, dishwasher, and microwave safe. When baking it's best to place pottery in a cold oven and let them warm together.
Watch Mike Barber show you how its made:

Franklin North Carolina
Tucked away in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains lies the animated town of Franklin. Surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest in Western North Carolina, Franklin is best known for its gem mines, its quilt and crafts stores, and its history and heritage. While Franklin is home to only about 3,500 residents, nearly 33,000 people live in other small towns surrounding the Macon County community. In the spring, summer and fall months the population nearly doubles as vacation homeowners take advantage of the temperate climate and beautiful scenery. Franklin's geographical position enables its residents to enjoy cool summer nights and mild winters. Thanks to Macon County's mixture of tourism and industry, Franklin enjoys a strong, diversified economy. The town is large enough to offer its residents most anything and small enough to enjoy a high quality of life. Franklin is surrounded by a number of distinct communities including Cartoogechaye, Cullasaja, Cowee, Otto, Tessentee, Iotla, Ellijay, Patton, Wayah, Mill Creek, Hollysprings, Watauga Vista, East Franklin, Windy Gap, Dowdle Mountain, Lake Emory, Clarks Chapel and Louisa Chapel. Franklin offers plenty of opportunities for recreation including golf, fishing, hiking, white water rafting, canoeing, gem mining, horseback riding, shopping or just the opportunity to sit back and relax. Comfortable, affordable and enjoyable sum up the lifestyle in Franklin. The real estate market is comprised of single-family homes situated on wooded lots with porches providing spectacular views. A few condominiums and townhouses can be found ranging in price from $100,000 up to $225,000 and more for larger models.
