Nice! Just commuting last 2 weeks, nothing worth taking pictures of but getting 44-60 miles in a day. Still hitting 100° in the afternoons but mornings are about 70° now. HOV has been wonderful!!!

 

Sunny Sundays… and I only head downtown for coffee… that seems to be the extent of my motorcycling now…

 

Beats no miles at all.

 

Washed them yesterday.

 

Friday Rideday!


Color check on the Rock River.


First time I've been stopped by a train here.


Beautiful day.


Made it to Savanna.


Two trains going by, along the Mississippi.


Crossing over the Mississippi River, into Iowa.


Glamor shot.


It was a great day.

 

Tomorrow the bikes will be filled with fuel and put away, with no real thought of getting them out again in 2023. I don't even want to see how many, or few, miles I rode this year, compared to years past.

 

Nice ride. Sorry your season is coming to am end.

 

i got one ride in … 500 miles up & back to Cranbrook , & a week of riding her every day as my around town transport… if my eldest daughter comes up to Langley next summer as planned I will get a two or three week tour… if so, I would head down to California on the PCH and then back home through Arizona/Colorado/Wyoming/Montana… I have mapped that out and it would take me about 21 days to do the rounder…

 

First up today, the Night Rod. It was a 5 mile round trip.


554 miles on it this year.


Next up, the Ultra. I figured why not take it for a nice roe, i mean, it was 50 and sunny.


16 miles later the horn fell off the bracket. This is why zipties are always on board. I turned around and went home. 38 miles was a bit less than i was hoping for.


9,750 miles on the Ultra, so far, this season, which may or may not be over. Cold weather is in our forecast. Like 32° for a high cold. Oh well, I have my guitars.


Speaking of guitars, here's my newest one, which arrived Friday. This is my first Gibson Les Paul, a Tribute. I really like it.

 

Riding season is over. They've been spreading deicer crap on the roads, so even if it warms up I won't becriding until after the spring rains wash off the roads.

Until then.....


This is my therapy.
