There's no doubt I consider myself lucky to have been able to ride 18000 plus miles this year. I left many days on the table, but I don't really regret doing so, but the end of the season is sad just the same.

There are a few rides I still need to get done, such as The Tail of the Dragon, the Smoky Mountains, around Lake Superior, and even to the Harley-Davidson museum, which is really just a short ride away. Hopefully the future is bright!

It has snowed twice in the past few days, and may do so again on Sunday afternoon....but I refuse to give up hope! I have faith in the Mother Nature and I'm sure there'll be another 40 degree day, suitable for riding this coming week.

Well look what I did today after work.


41 degrees farenheit.


Fall colors are gone.


Nice and sunny. I almost forgot about the stiff breeze and cool temps.


A nice couple of hours along the Rock River, on a Friday afternoon.


Will there be more?

My 57th is in 2 weeks. I'm guessing it won't be 81, but I'm still hoping to get in a ride.

🤞

I got out again today. Went to Le Claire Iowa, then up to Savanna Illinois, and from there it was back to home.


I did put on my cold weather gear....56 isnt exactly shirt riding weather.


Miss Liberty.


These are freedom trees.


Glamour shot.

Lock and dam 13.


Awesome day.

While at lock and dam 13 I got the Canon 5D Mark IV out, and got in some eagle photography, even though they were way far away. 420mm of reach still required much cropping.

Here are my pics.
