Nice pics, I am looking forward to making a few trips soon.
I just signed on a 2015 FLHTK and hope to have it in a day or so.
Wind therapy here I come!
Now for all the gadgets and gear I need (want) for a few trips out of town to clear the mind.

There was snow on the ground this morning. There is more snow in the forecast, 1-3 inches by Thursday. Friday Rideday may be in jeopardy. I'm not ready to put the bikes in storage.

I picked up my bike Monday! Now to get it set for some wind therapy. A few items and off I go. I have been looking forward to this for years so the mapping and planning commences.

Thanks Rocky, I have been following your adventures and hope to have a fraction of the fun you seem to be having.
Bike is almost ready but need a lot of gear still. All my camping stuff is to large or bulky so as you say it never ends.

Thanks Rocky, but I'd be happy with half as many miles if they were all somewhere other than illinois. I do like my Friday Rideday's though, it sure beats working.

I'm hoping for at least one multi state ride next year, two if I can swing it. The wife and I are looking at getting up into Canada in 2021.

The sun came out, so I went out.


Happy to get in a few miles.

The leaves are all but gone.

Blackhawk statue is still under wraps.

There looked to be a Veteran's Day celebration going on in Utica, complete with a vintage war plane fly over.

I was happy with this. The sun got mugged by a gang of clouds, and things cooled down. If i had my heated jacket back from HD i would stayed out longer....but not much longer, thanks to darkness arriving sooner.
