Default Day 7 updates

Added some updates even though this was the shortest riding day of the trip.. still some cool sites, and a couple observations.

Had a nice 3 hour visit with my grandfather and uncle over in Waukeeshaw tonight.. great time.

Looking forward to tomorrow seeing the museum and then checking out the parties and concerts.

As was previously mentioned.. if HD Forum members are meeting up.. put out the word

Default Have not been updating in a couple days...

I am now in Bozeman Montana.. which as you may know if you read the blog is not one of the scheduled stops.

Basically mechanical breakdown on my friends bike caused chaos. All the updates from Milwaukee through today are posted on the blog (link in first post) and pictures will be once I get home.

Back home.. safe and sound.

My friend arrived back in town later in the evening and now gets to set about looking at what happened to his ride.

11 days... 5504 miles... do it again in a second!
