Steady heat & monsoon activity here. Itching for a ride myself!! However my daughter is back to college on the 19th so I'll be forced to ride due to lack of cars!!

Did this on Monday in the heat but we had a great day with 12 of us. Took plenty of water breaks , rode home and it looks like the bike won't get out of the garage until next Wed. Rain, rain and more rain

My last ride was July 11th! WTF? Well, to be fair the wife and I took her Jeep on a 10 day road trip. She didn't want to go on the bike this year, mostly due to all the crazy *** weather that's been happening. We saw nothing but blue sky and sunshine.....go figure.

Finally, some therapy.


It had been way too long.


Clouds rolled in when i was about 75 miles west of home, so westward stopped...lol.


It never rained.


This looked like a good place to stop.


Treated myself, afterall I had a new crown put in this morning and it wasnt exactly a fun time. It was yummy.


Beard was out of control.


The clouds made this number lower than I had planned on when I left, but it was still a good ride.

Not much going on in the Harley world lately. Just got back from a weeklong wheeling trip, aka: Jeep trip, with some friends. We went to Ouray Colorado, well we stayed in Ridgway, Colorado, which is like 10 miles north of Ouray. The weather out there was much cooler and a bit wetter than here at home. I was welcomed back with an extreme heat advisory, so getting on a Harley is not at the top of my list of things to do at the moment.

Mine's the yellow one.

…when I was up at the top of the Million Dollar highway just above the S- turns… I stopped at a lookout to take some pictures and there was a road that peeled way off & up the mountain… and I wondered where it went and thought to myself that I would be a nice place to take an ADV motorcycle… but no place for a fully loaded Electraglide… 😂

One of the roads off of the s-turns, just outside Ouray, leads to this spot:



On Governor Basin.

It had been over a month since I got out for a ride, even longer since the wife rode with.


Took off around 10:30am.


Went up to Sauk City, Wisconsin and made a stop at Wollersheim Winery.


Thats the Wollersheim Distillery behind us, as we prepared to leave.


Stopped for dinner, just outside Monroe Wisconsin. We stopped at Bailey's Run Winery prior to dinner.


She had a Spotted Cow.


This is the longest ride I've had in quite a while.
