About 10 days ago my wife made a slow speed turn in a parking lot and the bike stalled and fell on her ankle..broke it and her toe.. She will not be able to ride for about 6 weeks.. I tried to get her to ride with me but she said no.. The Dr. said to keep ankle very still and there will be no surgery.. So, I have her an ice chest by the recliener, plenty of peanut butter sandwiches some beef and turkey jerky close by, some books and magazines.. bought cable for the t.v. and just placed 24 bottles of water with in reach of the recliener.. That should do until she can get up and get stuff for herself.. I put the phone close by so I can call her from the road and tell her what a great ride I'm having..

SCREW IT, LETS RIDE.. See y'all in Saint Joseph...

Big Time ditto. Stay away from St. Louis!!!!!!!! As I advised take Rt. 36 across MO. And if you run into trouble, I'm just north of Rt. 36, near Chillicothe. Just kick me a private email via this forum. Hannibal, MO. is Mark Twains home town and Marceline, MO. is where Walt Disney was born. LaClede, MO., which is just West of Brookfield, MO. is where Gen. Geo Pershing was born. On down, on the other side of Chillicothe is the home town of good old J.C. Penny!!!!!!! This is your history lesson for today. Have fun! Tom
