Rode to Rockfalls, to Workman HD (45 miles away), to get oil and filters for both bikes. I took the long way home, via Galena. Nice ride, awesome weather, almost felt cool at times.


Ready to roll.


Looking towards the Mississippi River, on a back road near Galena.


Break time, in Galena.


Casey's is always a good place for a break, as i can people watch while eating my snack.


On the way home i stopped to document the beginning of the fall color change at Blackhawk statue, in Oregon.


Just a simple 90 mile round trip for oil.......

Changed the oil in both bikes today.


Limited.


Night Rod.


Then decided to grab a few hours of therapy on the Night Rod.


Head east, then south, down to Morris, then rode along the Illinois River, to Utica.


Stopped to pay my respects in Marseilles.


Too many names.



The Illinois River.


Hit the twisties in Starved Rock.


Dragging my boards.


Not bad for a late afternoon ride.

Well, when you're off work all week, and it's nice outside, a ride seems like the thing to do.

Yeppers. I guess I'm not quite ready to retire. It sounds good, in theory, but I don't hate what I do, so I'll just keep on doing it, for awhile longer. 25 years was the original plan, so maybe 2 more. I'm guessing politics will play a part in my decision making.

I went out for a short ride today. I had other things to get done around the house, and I couldn't really think of anywhere to go....lol.


The end of summer is near.



Just a shorty.
