Default Memorial Day where are you riding to??

Well I'll probably do a morning cruise on Memorial day around Phoenix or surrounding area. Nothing real long. Want to spend the afternoon by the pool and BBQ with the family....and a few cold ones!

So what are your riding plans??

Hey, mnvikingsfan, just getting up here this morning. We're heading up today to Watertown SD to visit the Terry Redlin Museum and checking out a couple of campgrounds. It should be a nice day for a ride.

I work the weekends, but took a little trip on Thursday and Friday.
On Thursday morning we left Kansas City and rode down to Table Rock Lake in Missouri.
Stayed the night at the lake and then on Friday morning. Rode down to Branson and back on the twistys
and then headed back home. It was beautiful weather except it was sprinkling when we left Thursday morning,
but it wasn't bad and didn't last long.
I wish we had more scenic roads up here, but I guess that gives me an excuse to go back down again.

It was a long trip on my bike, a 2008 Nightster, a little sore, but not bad at all. Did a little over 600 miles in two days.
I definately need to buy a different seat.

If it doesn't rain, thunder and lighting like the weather reports state, then Wife, friends and I will ride up to Packwood for their Huge Townwide Yardsale.

I hope the winds don’t get ya down there in the valley, the morning here started out good but around 8am the wind picked up to about 30mph so I think I’ll wait until tomorrow and see. Ride safe, hope most of the blue hairs (snow birds) are gone by now.

From Surprise, AZ...I'll do a sleepy 70 milerun all the way around the White Tank Mountains....back up the I-10 to Hwy 303...and then on home to Surprise. I hope I don't see another soul till I hit the I-10. Good for my head.


Ride safe all!!!!
