    A dozen for her and 6 for me

    Flowers made it without too much trouble, and the cold ones still cold.

      A 59? Chevy Truck caught in the background of your pic on RT 66. What are the chances?

          Ah, those wide grooves in the pavement, so tires make noise, developed by the famous civil engineer, Dr. Alfred J Rumble.

            Rode down to Walton, KY via slab (I hate being on that) tonight for a Lee Parks Total Control class tomorrow. The weather stayed mostly dry until I crossed the state line when somebody just opened a large shower head with a light show.

            Really looking forward to the long ride home Sunday

                    +1 on that, Charlie.

                    Trevor, would that area and roads/trails be considered public or is it remote enough that everybody uses them?

                          Yes, we are very lucky to ride here...thanks.
                          It's about a 30 min ride to where we ride...it's mostly Crown land but a lot of it is owned by logging companies....so they do put gates up in an attempt to keep riders out. The riders usually just make trails around the gates... There are so many trails and logging roads on the Island...we went all the way up to Jordan River yesterday...you can go all the way up to the top of the Island barely ever touching a "road"....and the scenery is spectacular because of the peaks it allows huge views of the ocean.
                          We rode 200kms yesterday and never saw another person all day except for on guy going in to go fishing.
                          As for the riding, it can be as easy or as hard as you like...you can stay on logging roads or you can venture in single track stuff for more of a challenge....there is lots we wouldn't do on our big old 650's...

                            Rode out to pick up spackle tape. Hot and humid led to a glorious ride in the rain.

                                Thanks Bill. Got the matching front fender, I still need to tweak the brackets to properly fit the mid panels. The replacements actually have all of their tabs in place.
