I couldn't get anyone to go riding in the 40 degree weather, so I took off and rode out a tank of gas.
Stopped for a break at a park overlooking the Puget Sound, the home port for the Nimitz, and the mountains leading to BC Canada to the north.
Today was a good day.
My brother, Greg, who was recently out for a visit, went on an extended ride in Peru is 2010.
It was not on Harley's, and it was not on what we would normally call "good roads". lol
He went with some friends from when we spent time living in Yarina Cocha, Peru when we were kids.
Here are a few pics from his "Around The Block" ride.
Map of the route (heavy black, red & blue lines)-
They rode thru the Andes....
....and the jungle.
Yep, that is a can he is getting a fill-up from...many places had no "gas stations".
I'll post some more pics from his ride soon.

Today was a good day.
Pulled the battery today. They are calling for snow this week. Storing the bike outside under a bike cover, should I put a blanket or something under it to help keep the scratches down?
Put steel wool in the exhaust and a dryer sheet in the battery tray. Open for any suggestions.
Great pic's from Peru.
Nice Wide Glide
Depending on what kind of A/C you have, I've seen mice build nests in the cover.

I had an invigorating ride into the shop today. 31* and dry.
The kind of day where the bike is just itching to go, where the road beckons, heated jacket and long-johns keeping me warm, it's tempting to just keep riding past work!

About a month ago we picked up a 06 GSX R1000 for $100...just to get a few parts off it.
Today we finally took 30 minutes to pull the parts off it that we wanted. Now the rest of the bike is going to Devin's house...he wants to one day build a go-cart using its' engine.
Got the forks off for some future project bike.
Same with the Yoshimura muffler...it may end up on some future project bike.
Dwayne wanted the rear master cylinder for his Ironhead Project bike-
