        Yesterday was the perfect weather for an extended mountain ride. Found a vista I hadn’t been to before.

            I bought a 5x8 ft utility trailer(and I built side walls) in 2004, when I had 850G.
            THen I went to pick up the GK when I got it......
            Opps..... didnt fit.
            At least not with the tail trunk on.
            Took the trunk off, and the the rack Just-Just-barley fit, was rubbing on tail gate.

            Keep that in mind if thinking might ever get bigger bike.

            Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.

              Thanks Redman!

              I’ll take that into consideration. I would probably want the capability to stagger two bikes that aren’t as big as GKs.

                Got out for a sunrize ride this morning, well, shortly after sunrize.
                50degF this morning.. . . .

                Stopped at this boat ramp on the river thinking would be sunrize color over the water, but that was not over the water.

                  I bought a used Kia Soul, which I've been enjoying immensely, but every time I get on the Harley, I fall deeper in love with it. The Feuling Reaper cams I installed a while back make what was already a stout motor come alive. In the next year, I'll have the heads off for porting, but if the dyno charts I'm seeing from other folks with similar mods to their 1200 Sportsters are accurate, the bike is already making over 90 hp and over 80 lb ft of torque. It is simply a wonderful engine.

                  I rode to work yesterday and like always, got there with a huge grin on my face.

                    Rainy this morning, but cleared up some about noon.
                    Headed out for a ride. Roads not dry yet.


                    Saw this, and thought, was some "fall color".
                    Uuughhh, I dont want to say that yet.



                    Stopped for a quick lunch at a sandwich shop.

                    Was out for about 3 1/2 hours. Good.
                    Bike got a bit grimey.

                      Washed up my BMW today and then took my old Suk out for an after dinner spin in my hood. Nothing like a cool night on an inline four.

                          They addded a new mural to the side of a coffee shop around the corner. I enjoyed standing in front of it seeing all the little details.

                            I've got a pic that I would like to share with you all. Now that I am back home and can easily get to my pics on Flikr. This is a billboard for a famous spot in the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.

                            I went to the Missouri Ozarks last Tuesday and stayed until Sunday then went to the northern tier of Arkansas for some more Ozark riding.

                            Beautiful crooked roads in both of those places by the way.

                            Someday someone should organize a rally in Northern Arkansas.

                            Anyway here is the picture I captured. I hope no one is offended by it.
