I put some Seafoam in the Night Rod and tooled around a bit and it was running fine. It was too cold and windy to put any real miles on, so it'll sit, with a near full tank of Seafoam treated fuel until things warm up again......so June?

 

It was a cool morning, 34 degrees at 8am.


95 miles later I made it to Waterford. My buddy wasn't at his shop yet, so breakfast pizza, at Casey's, it was.


Time to help out my buddy, set up some more racks in his new shop.


Headed in to "work".


Racks, racks and more racks.


So many racks were put up.


Union break.


Saw my Jeep while i was there. Once the shop is all set up, it'll be time to get Rubi repaired.


We took down racks, we had previously put up, to put up different racks.


One of the racks we took down, then put back up. If he decides to move any other racks, I'm quitting....lol.


Saw this on the way home. It was on a backroad, near Walworth, WI.


This is awesome!


Ouch.


A sign of a good day. My ride there was non-fun...interstate crap all the way, for 95 miles. I let the HD navigation take me home, with the twisty option selected....no idea where i was most of the ride home. Awesome. It was in the 50's on the way home.

 

34°?! Damn dude!! Heck my riding season is gonna be wrapping up before too long. 96° today, I'm usually ok till about 105° & then its just not worth it anymore.
Was a wreck in the HOV yesterday, I was like seriously?!! So stuck bumper to bumper for a few miles. Went down to one cylinder but just for a few mins then we were rolling again.
Just letting her roll, need to be doing 80 here or they're running you off the road. Cutting commute time for sure! But also bumping mileage down to 34 mpg.
And yes most of our premium is over $5 now too...Sams Club $4.79

 

I was in Phoenix last weekend. Filled up the rental cage at $5/gal for regular unleaded!

 

Yea its slowly becoming California unfortunately. Theyre all moving here, jacking up our property values (not that I'm complaining about that) and there's so many people now they can charge whatever they want & there's still a line at the pumps. Gotta hit Sams at like 6:30 AM to get regular for $4.35 and not wait for 30 mins.

 

Just wait for them to bring the politics with them. It's worked so well in Cali.

 

Sunny, warm and mild wind today.


Went over to Savanna to check out the Mississippi River, as its been a bit high.


I can normally park my bike next to that cross....in the water.


If you don't look back at it, you have the wrong bike.


This is the first time I've seen this plaque.


Its good side...lol.


Bellevue Iowa.


Pretty nice day.


Lock and dam 13. No need to raise and lower the water level.


A week of rain would suck.


No barges in sight, so I left...lol.


Pretty nice way to spend 5 hours.

 

Another nice day....well, it did get cloudy once i started riding, but whatever.


It was almost time for a 3 hole service, so I stopped in for oil and such.


Pit stop.


Now it's time for a service.


Appropriately, I was along the Rock River, at Chief Blackhawk even, when the bike hit 120,000 miles.


A nice little afterwards parts run.

 

Post oil change dinner ride.


After mowing two lawns and doing a 3 hole oil change, I decided I deserved some Cane's.


Made my way to the Rock River after dinner.


Got home safe a sound, after sundown.

 

After a day of yard work, it was time for some wind therapy.


Stopped by Chief Blackhawk.


After a few miles, it was time to return home and pick up the wife and head to dinner.


This was her first ride of 2023.


We didn't venture too far, but all together I did surpass 100 miles for the day. Supposedly warmer weather is headed our way, so a few more miles may be heading my way as well.
