Cloudy, but no rain in the area.


Went to Workman Harley-Davidson and got some supplies. $369!


Its my "local" dealership...lol.


Time for a 3 hole service, an air filter and spark plugs. I also picked up brake pads, front & rear, for a later day.


After doing the maintenance i found myself solo for dinner, so i took a ride.


Figured I'd make the best of it.


My dinner ride was shorter, but more scenic. Rain was on the horizon behind me.

Tomorrow, its off to Wisconsin to work on my Jeep some more.

Sometimes you got to use a nice day to clean the bike.


Two hours later and its presentable, but it won't any shows...lol. I'm not sure i have the patience to make it spotless.

This thing was a mess. It had a good 3000 miles of bugs and crud on it. I usually don't let it get that bad but, stuff happens....lol. Hopefully it will get all dirty again this weekend.

Yesterday:


80°, sunny, no wind....perfect.


Checked out the wedding venue where my nephew gets married next Friday.


Crossed the Illinois River a few times. This is Henry.


Looking north, away from the bridge.


Come 5pm i picked up the wife, after she got home from work.


We had dinner, then we stopped at a wine bar. I don't drink btw.


It was a good day. The temperature did drop to the low 60's on the way home.

I took off alone today, as the wife had plans with her sister and a few other ladies.


I decided to get home before dark, but it was another good ride. It was 89° with 12 mph winds, so not as nice as yesterday.

I know how that is, we've had our fair share of rain, wind and cold weather....sometimes all at the same time.

Tomorrow is supposed to be another sunny, 85° day, so we shall see what transpires.

The wife said she was ready to ride, so I obliged.


It hit 90 today.

Late lunch in Sheffield. Illinois.


Then music and drinks at the Psycho Silo Saloon in Langley.


Catching some rays and some tunes.


Lowest crowd I've ever seen on a weekend. They had a huge event yesterday, so it makes sense.


The place is pretty cool.


Headed up to Oregon for a treat.


Love this place.


This was across the street from Jay's.


It was a great day. Tomorrow is bringing t-storms our way.
