‎5 cases of Dublin Dr. Pepper $50

13 hours away from the house, on a 500 mile motorcycle ride with a friend, priceless!




Road south to the world's oldest Dr. Pepper bottling plant in Dublin Texas on Saturday.
Stopped by a friends house 100 miles away and he rode with me on his VTX 1300.
I was in no hurry, and since he still had a stock seat on his ride, I made sure I found an excuse to stop every hour or so.
We had a great ride down, back roads all the way.
Rained hard as soon as we got there.
Loaded up the trailer with cases of Dr. Pepper then started back home.
A little rain before I got back home, but nothing too bad. Awesome lightning show though, I thought it was going to get ugly but I missed the real bad stuff.

Didnt take any pictures along the way, was just a nice long enjoying ride.

0 miles on June 29th, just turned over 5,900 on the way home from work today!

Any truth to the rumor that Dr. Pepper is carbonated prune juice ?

Not sure what all the flavors are in there, but it is definately more than just carbonated prune juice.
It contains a fruit flavor that might very well be prunes, but I think it tastes more like a black cherry.

It maybe cherry like, but it is definately more than cherry cola.
Whatever it is, I sure like it.
If you have never had real cane sugar soda pop, it tastes very different than corn syrup sweetened soda.

Ahh, the benefits of having a trailer. I've been contemplating building one for our longer trips. Would be nice to have more room to bring goodies home.

Nice report Dougie. Enjoy the Pop!

You don' know how good you have it with your gas prices. $45 for 500 miles. On the Black Dog Ride $100 for 500 mls. On one tank it was $35. Eric

Good run Doug! Em, guys, I doubt it's the Dr Pepper that has the effect you mention, likely the Diablo sandwich and the jalepenos that does it

You are so correct.
Most of us Americans do not realize how much our government subsidizes the oil companies to keep gas prices low.
I pay on average about $2.40 US dollars a gallon.

Thanks, Dublin is now added to the bucket list. I've been through it but didn't stop. If your ride is what brought some rain to Texas you need to go back a few more times.
