Yep. I'm OK with it. I could have done more, but since it IS a touring bike and I do like to tour I figgered that was enough. At least for now..


Ol' Blue's got a new top end and ready to head to CA next year!

Ah, got ya. I think I am going to make a Sturgis run next year, that's the current speculation anyway. In 7-10 days early and leave before the huge crowds clog up the streets, bars and roads.

On my bucket list as well.

I think I may try to US50 all the way from Ocean City MD to the West Coast when I go. Come back another old route. Who knows.

Well, we used to have an AED, but we used it to jump start a bike and fried the machine. Now we promote proper breathing.

Good plan. Beautiful area to ride. I've just gotten to where I don't like big crowds.


Baker and I have been talking about a trip to the west coast since last year. Broke it to the wife the other day that I would be gone for a while next year. She took it pretty well...
