      It was a total of 2200 miles this past weekend. Good little Jaunt. Rich, thank you again so much for your hospitality. Let's do this again REAL soon. The route you sent me on for the ride home was EPIC to say the least...

      It was a great little getaway, first time to overnight out of state after COVID.
      Looking forward to June's Brown county gathering, still planning to see you folks!

        Any time. Yesterday, I found a new gnarly, twisty, mountain road on the way to what is supposed to be a pretty good bar/restaurant.

              Rode into Grand Rapids.

              I'll tell you why. The BMW dealer sent email newsletter saying "paying cash for used bikes", so I called last week (cold-gray then) had a good chat with the owner-manager and made something of an appointment for today, and called again today to confirm, (beautiful warm clear day today)... and when I get there, well, basically he was too busy closing deal on new bike to talk to some guy (wearing jacket about 1/4th the cost of acceptable) with an old bike. Waited around about 25 minutes and left.

              So, since I was on that far side of Grand Rapids, thought of some place to go from there. Rode around the country side on that other side of Grand Rapids. Some rolling farm land.
              Stopped at Falasburg Covered Bridge.




              Are a couple other covered bridges over that way which can be made into an interesting circuit, but I hadn't prepared for that. So just followed a couple roads that looked interesting on the gps. Then buzzed back on the highway, about an hour.

              Only 175 miles, fun to be out even if a large portion of it was urban.

                Dave you can't get rid of the ol' bike now. You have to much blood, sweat and tears invested in it. Not to mention money. However, how many miles are on your replacement transmission? That could be something to consider. You don't want to go through all that again. 🤔

                  I enjoy seeing those covered bridges.

                    I'd like to get to your place a decent time to grab dinner, have a few beers and looks at your GS's again.

                        There Justin, that is what I mean.

                        Your "2200 mile weekend", the mileage is inline with my cross country trip (that I only made part way, broke down, and finished in rental truck).

                        And your 175 mile long way home from work, is more inline with my day trip (about 4-5-6 hours).

                        And your 75 mile evening spin, is more like my afternoon ride (3-4 hours).

                        (but, then, again, I need more exercise, . . . and will be 70 next year.)

                          Shouldn't have, but I did go for a ride. Sustained 35mph winds and 50mph gusts made for a dirt filled sky. Interesting ride though.

                            I visited a small swap meet not too far away. Bought a top box for $40. Mounted it this morning. I think it'll work out well.

                            Did a little wandering on the way home.

                              My wife and I went for a really nice ride up to Santa Fe. Just a few hours tooling around the slower highway through Madrid and Tijeras. Beautiful afternoon for it. Messed with an old GoPro my daughter gave me. It's mounted on top of the headlight.



                              My wife spotted that bull and we had to turn around to see it. He was super friendly. All the tasty sage brush was on our side of the fence so I gave him some. His horns from tip to tip were longer than my stretched out arms could reach.

                                I did about 250 today. I rode up to Warren Pennsylvania taking rt 62 along the Allegheny river. I took the infamous rt.666 short cut, (with no issues). I stopped at the Iron Bridge Inn on my way home for dinner. It was a beautiful day 82° with scattered clouds. It never did rain like they were calling for. I didn't care if it did.👍
