looks like a nice break from work for you... been wet here, suppose to be clearing up end of the week... if so, I will go for a ride on Sat or Sun.

 

Hope the weekend weather cooperates and you get in a ride. I have no complaints about the way this vacation played out, but its gonna be tough getting up, and staying up tomorrow morning. I've gone back to bed more days than not in the past week.....and I liked it.

 

two years is not a lot of time... by the time you retire, i will be in need of some Mountain Riding time... we shall journey forth... that will be in 2024... a month in the Mountains sounds about right... I know a few roads...

 

You gize look like a GREAT couple.

THX for the posts. VERY enjoyable!

Not you CR. What are you doing reading my posts to J09? Didn't we have a talk about boundaries? Scat, scat. <-- Still funi.

 

Tomorrow is the first Friday Rideday of fall. Looks to be a bit cool in the morning. Jacket weather for sure. Night Rod weather is fading, so I may have to gear up and take it for a ride tomorrow.

 

It was breezy today, and a jacket was required, when I left, but it did warm up a bit, and I eventually got chased home, from Iowa, by rain clouds. All in all it was a good day, and a good first ride of fall.


Night Rod weather is winding down.


Savanna IL.


Lunch, along the Mighty Mississippi.


The dam in Bellevue Iowa.


A little closer view.


Looking north.


Another view of my lunch spot.


A long and lonesome highway east of Omaha.


Bellevue State Park.


An overlook.


Bellevue and the Mississippi River down below.


The clouds that chased me home, from Bellevue. It rained about 20 minutes after I got home.


I probably would have gotten wet, had I stopped for fuel.


Somehow this plug backed out of my header pipe. I'm sure it should be easy to find a replacement for a 14 year old Vance and Hines header....right? I was east of Savanna when my exhaust note changed.

 

Gd luck finding the plug. Was ur lunch only the chips, M&Ms and Dr. P? Anything else? Or u r a light lunch eater?

 

That was it. I dont stop at many restaurants these days, when I'm solo. Now, if I could find a KFC with inside dining, I'd probably stop....lol.

 

CR, stop reading my posts. My post was directed to j9. Not you.

Awww, come here you 'ole bloke CR. You know we all luv ya man.

I was 'juss fool'n with ya.

Now, run along and play. <-- Huh, sounds like a GOOD idea. Wait for me, I am right behind you!

Let's grab lunch today.......... You know CR, one like j9's. A candy bar, BBQ chips, and a Dr. P. Can't beat that! Whooo HHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Ok, I will end the post now.

 

The more I travel, cage or bike, the more I like a thermos of coffee, a sandwich & a bag of chips from the 7-Eleven… I always take my collapsible chair and a couple of bottles of water… I lost my taste for road side restaurants quite a while ago.
