We're eating at the same restaurant (https://www.thedeadfish.com/makeareservation.html) and table I proposed to her at 9 years ago, made that reservation 3 months ago.
I took the day off work. The fact we have to ride through traffic coming home means I'll be splitting lanes for 10 mile stretches at a time. That last 90 miles home has about 50 miles of dead stop traffic, usually takes us about 2 hours on the bike, in the truck it would be more like 4 hours or more.
We've both been through hell the last few years health wise and neither of us is fully recovered so this 300 mile winter ride is a gamble at best.
But like I said, she's worth it.
Have a great Valentines day... I'll do the same.

That was one busy *** show. We did well though and Rosemount is a pretty cool part of Chicago lots of night life and good food. Had fun Friday night and went to bed early on Saturday as it was for the most part a 12 hour day.

Terry, All day, everyday. I ain't complaining but I might consider hooking up an aux port for a heated vest and gloves for me during the ride. The ocean is beautiful but windy this time of year and I want to be happy when I get off the bike and gaze into the ocean and my wife's eyes knowing I made her day perfect.

Re-morning Woods. Had to do a quick run for B-Day and Valentine's cards and wrapping this morning. Cheryl's B-day is today. The gift was a hit, so the run was worth it.

Late morning to all.
Got a problem.
Got an e-mail from my brother late last night. Seems he wants to buy a chopper. He found one on Chopper exchange site. He sent the guy and e-mail saying he wants to pay cash and he will o out and get it asap.
Here's my problems:
1 ) He is on house arrest. (Don't ask.)
2) He can barely pay his bill now.
3) See link below to bike. Really long, rigid frame and jockey shift. Oh, BTW- he has never been on a bike before.

It wood be cool to have him riding but he will kill himself. Usually drunk 24/7. Told him last night, if he is really serious, to get a small 2k bike abd learn for a year or two and then go bigger. Fallen on deaf ears. That bike looks like a handful on a good day and fun for an experienced rider. A beginner? Eeek....
