Simple. (I’m lucky to be here. )
Took some big ones to do what your Dad did. Yes, you're lucky to be here. I think it was just last year when I heard my daughter mention to someone that she was lucky to be here between helicopter and motorcycle exploits when younger. Told me her Mom told her about some of the stuff we did on bikes.

I didn’t sleep much last night. I just had to have that cup of coffee with Irish cream.

We are prepping for Colorado trip still. Gonna do a shakedown ride this weekend to Columbus to make sure the new setups work as intended.

I put a chopped Tour Pack in my RG and am adding a leather Tour Pack to TNLT Switchback. I expect it all to work fine but a little mileage under the belt will go a long way. Both are very light compared to the King Tour Packs.

I switched to decaf out of medical necessity a year or so ago. Blasphemy I know but I still enjoy a hot cup of unexciting joe.

Good morning all. Looks like the weather will be favorable for the holiday weekend. Yay! Drier air and sunshine. Scooby's doggie spa appt. got moved to tomorrow so today I ride. I finally reached 200 lbs. I am on the cusp of breaking the 200 barrier and reaching my goal. I would like to see a "1" as the first number in my weight.

Everyone ride safe.

Mornin, Woods. Ride safely, Rick.

Only 299.9 miles, Russ? Fortunate, Chuck would not be happy if it was 300!
