State Capitol and Selma
After leaving Leeds, the echoes of engines and history still lingered in my head. The Barber Motorsports Museum had been a feast for the senses—machines frozen in time—and the BDR event added that familiar spark of community and shared obsession. With the bike pointed south, a thought crept in naturally: the Alabama State Capitol wasn’t far. For someone drawn to stories etched into places, skipping it didn’t feel right.
Rolling into Montgomery, the city revealed itself with quiet confidence. Tree-lined streets, well-kept buildings, and an unmistakable sense of pride gave the place a calm dignity. The Capitol stood as more than stone and steps—it felt like a witness, watching generations pass through. I took it in slowly, letting the weight of history settle without rushing the moment.
From there, the road carried me to Selma. The name alone commands respect. The site of 1965's Bloody Sunday conflict is a national landmark honoring the civil rights movement. Near the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the air felt heavier, not oppressive, but honest. This was ground where courage had been tested, where ordinary people made extraordinary choices so others could have a voice. I paused, helmet off, engine silent, allowing the gravity of that place to speak louder than any plaque ever could.
When it was time to move on, the ride west felt reflective. Miles rolled beneath the tires as daylight faded, carrying those moments with me. Baton Rouge became the next waypoint, and Port Allen offered a quiet place to rest for the night. I shut the bike down knowing this day wasn’t just about distance covered—it was about riding through chapters of history, feeling them firsthand, and carrying them forward one mile at a time.
