Nice… I rode up to Harley to buy myself another travel coffee mug… But apparently the 2022 coffee mugs don’t fit inside the 2016 handlebar coffee cup holders… I’ll have to go to 7-Eleven and see what they got…

Always gotta change things, so you have to buy more things.

After running cross reference charts and phoning customer service I was able to find one at Canadian tire that would work… Actually… I think the only thing that you can’t get at Canadian tire, is a tire made in Canada…



I hope to hell I am never put in a position where I have to choose between riding my Harley, or drinking my coffee…

May have gotten side tracked.

Were you in NC by chance? Looked up and saw two guys riding together with identical bikes to yours. One was pulling a trailer. Thought I was seeing double!

The bike is clean. The oil is changed. The tire pressure is correct, as is the shock pressure. Bags are packed, and if the weather cooperates, the wife and I are hitting the road in the morning.....westward.

Once the rain was gone, and the roads were dry, we hit the road.


Lunch time.


First time here.


Won't be the last.


Rural America, for the win.


Headed into Iowa.


Rode Snake Alley, in Burlington.


It's steep and very twisty. Its a slow ride.


Kodak picture spot.


Dinner, in Ottumwa Iowa. We never did see Radar.


She always takes forever.


It defeated me.


Tonights digs.

We have no plan, other than to avoid rain, if at all possible. Going to the Rocky Mountains would be cool, but the weather that way sucks. We may gone 2 day, 3 days or a week, time will tell.

I forgot my odometer pic....I'll get it in the morning. Probably around 270.

Yesterday's mileage.

No more westward travel, due to rain and colder temps....which were not in the forecast a few days ago. We have no desire to be cold and wet, and since we have nowhere we have to be, why bother with bad weather?
