          Anyway! Sister's wedding was a few weeks ago, naturally, I drove there with my bike. I took this picture on the return trip. Absolutely beautiful region, with next to none traffic, and almost all roads being scenic routes twisting around, up and down many a hill, being so narrow, having so tight corners, and beautiful views that you just can't, and really don't have to drive fast to have a blast. I'm not joking that I was smiling under my helmet without skip for a long time..

          Wow !

            Saturday afternoon, rode into Grand Rapids on a road that follows the river.


            Went to Grand Rapids 28th Street Car Cruise.
            Lots of different car clubs having shows at various places along the road, over about 5-6 miles.
            Wasnt much of a "cruise" was more of a "Stop-n-Crawl".
            I stopped in a a few different places, then got annoyed with the crowds/traffic and set my search on a BBQ vendor

            Found one, was great.
            THe lady there said "got a phone? gimme, I make yall a picture!". Very friendly, we both had a good laugh.

                After almost 2000 miles on the KLR650, I switched it up with something different today...a K75. Certainly not as nimble on the dirt, but on paved back roads and highway a little more plush.

                  I went for a 500km ride the other day with my buddy on his tricked out 1975 Z1, it has 1015 pistons with 29mm smoothbores, 06 ZX6 usd forks and a ZRX swingarm.

                          Eddie 21, LOVE that pic of your friends and your bikes.
                          Wyly, glad to see the ES out and about. I dig the red / black paint scheme.

                            Went for a quick ride today to pick up supplies for the house project, and dinner (wine), and of course took the long-ish way home.
                            While walking away my bike in the Home Depot parking lot, a guy called from a car asking if I was on the GSR. Turns out it was a fellow member, Gordinho80. He recognized my bike. Had a nice chat with him. It was cool to finally meet a fellow member.

                                Not much time to write about my whole trip, so here's the reader's digest version. After my 1st trip to Colorado, I vowed to go back. From Mn, we went to Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. It was like a highlight ride of the southwest. Lots of National Parks and indescribably cool roads. 3952 miles and not one thought of work.
