Out riding through the cotton fields in north Alabama. Lubed the chain, checked the oil, and put 160 miles on the old Ironhead this past Sunday.

Ill get it hooked up to a tender when I get home tonight. Already late, I un-bundled and took the truck. Kind of a big let down when you get all ready to ride and end up driving.
I did that a couple years ago, put on about 3 layers, everything ready to go and the battery quit before it did more than cough a couple times.

My brother has been visiting for a few days. We've been carving up a lot of the local back roads. Him on the Softail, me on the Sporty.






Been having a blast riding with him.

Nice. I got to ride a section of NTP some years back and really enjoyed that. Need to make it back down there and over to AR for some quality riding.
