Motorcycle Diary: Local Trip to Millersburg, Ohio

Thanks to the headline of an article I caught in the Akron Beacon Journal about a brewery opening in the middle of Amish country, our first motorcycle trip of the season was born. An Amish brewery? We had to check it out. It was a beautiful weekend and the perfect time to get our motorcycles …
