From the pics it looks like you took a 4-minute ride

I had a Flux Capacitor installed while the bike was in storage.

You guys who are getting out are helping me think positive. Got our power back after 8 days! Blew my generator at Day 5. We got 3" more this morning. I so want to run over a groundhog right now.

I would still shoot that stupid ground hog if I were to come upon it. Hopefully you'll be done with winter soon.

I didn't have to just dream today.


Ottawa, IL, along the Illinois River.






Starved Rock Harley-Davidson.


Dinner at KFC. Can't beat a $5 meal.


No I didn't have donuts....it was next to KFC.


The sun went down as I was returning home.


It was 54 degress when I headed out, but was down to 41 at this point, and was starting to feel a bit nip.



I couldn't have gotten this ride in after work last week, at least not without it being completely dark out when I got back.

Woke up to everything covered in ice. Things started warming up around noon. I cleaned the bike, then headed out for a little St. Patrick's Day ride.....and found out they went nuts with the road salt last night. Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer, so my ride will be longer.
