On the plus side, we're supposed to hit the upper 60's on Sunday. On the negative side, it'll be dark by 5:30pm on Sunday. Oh well, I have a head light....lol.
Today was pretty nice here, I could have gone for a ride, if I hadn't had other plans. Fingers still crossed for tomorrow. I can think of no better way to fall back, than to go for a ride.
Heres a new thing for me You may have noticed that Ive started loading stuff up on TikTok Once I get to 1000 people who follow me I will be able to go live The reason Im doing this, is that when I tour next year, not only will I have pictures, and videos to show, because I am also loading on a camera on the bike I will be able to do a live presentation of my daily rides in the evening It just adds a new layer of fun.
I walked into the office after lunch today, shut down my pc and left for the day. It was sunny and in the 60's, and with snow in the weekend forecast I couldn't find a reason to stay at work, instead of going for a ride.
On the road by 12:30pm.
I didn't get off the bike unti i got to Savanna, and I got there via 125 miles of curvy roads.
A view up river, from where I stopped.
A view, from the bridge, looking up the Mississippi River, looking at the Palisades State Park, on the right.
There were two Bald Eagles sitting in a tree, just south of the bridge.
They didn't mind me at all.
I fear this may have been the sun setting on my riding season.
Beat the hell out of working.
Miles on the bike, after 5 seasons of riding. This has been my lowest mileage season total since 2015, when i bought my first Harley.
I hope the season isn't over, but I have a feeling the salt trucks will be out in force this weekend.
Thank you to all the members of our military, past, present and future, who provided me with the freedom to ride, when ever and where ever I want to.
Today's Veteran's Day weather sucked. It was rainy and cold this morning, and any thoughts of a Harley ride were all but gone.
I started my day with a breakfast for area Veteran's, at our high school. One of the gentlemen served in World War Ii, and is 100 years old, but you'd never guess that.
After breakfast I went home and eventually got in my M3 cardio workout. After that, it was nap time with one of the cats....G2, our feral tom.
After my nap I showered and got ready to do, well nothing actually. But, while getting ready the sun came out, things dried up, and I decided to get Limited out to at least fuel it up. The winds were howling, at 20 mph constant speeds, so I wasn't really thinking I'd be taking a ride.
Ready to roll.
Thanks Brandon.
47 degrees, so heat was welcomed.
Jacket went to level 2.
FYI...there is a Shell station less than a mile from my house.
I hate to see them locked up and unable to run free. I'm at 18,321 miles this season. 5,773 of those miles were on the Night Rod. While thats the most miles I've put on the Night Rod in a season, this has, thus far, been my lowest mileage season since buying my first Harley.
