Took Mike and Dina for a nice rideabout yesterday, except the part where I led them into the rain which contained huge drops with a bit of frozen stuff in it. Nobody ever learns, Doc!

Dina left her bike overnight at Surdyke's to get a new skin on the rear. They found an axle bearing shooting craps while they were at it. I'll feel a lot better that she is riding on fresh rubber in the rain today on their way to Arkansas. I'm gonna go some of the way, but how far depends on the weather.

Perhaps I really don not want to ride too close to Oklahoma with Mike and Dina today!

Sounds like I got lucky, real simple procedure here. Might have been because I went with "Ucare", Medicare supplemental insurance program set up by the U of Minnesota. Just a few signatures, and quit worrying about paperwork and money. Even dropped their fee this year, but that didn't bother me.

If that Slingshot can be called a motorcycle, then this should. Didja know you can still buy a brand new Morgan? Still in production, has been for 106 years. Still has a wood frame chassis on a steel frame. I'd take this over a Slingshot any day. Be better than the Ural for school runs with the kid. Bet Slingshot buyers have metric sport bikes, not Urals. Almost looks like a pan head motor. Wunder what kind of oil it uses. I'd want a red one. Those tires look like the same size on my Ural. Forgot what I wus gonna say...

Afternoon Posers.


Glad to hear Mike and Dina are having a good trip. How great would it be to make that kind of ride?


Here's hoping the rest of their trip goes well!

When we crashed the bike we were on a ride that would have taken us west across Canada to BC. South to San Diego, East Key West, North to Nova Scotia and then west to home. We only made it until San Francisco!

glad Mike and Dina's ride is going better. Hope that it stays that way for them!
