    A small group of us did a moonlight ride up to Cloudcroft for some amazing pizza, a brew and a live band. The ride home was great with the moon oh so bright. pic1.jpg

      Crest Route Wrightwood.jpg

      Nice little route I put together on Tuesday as part of some store surveys I had to do... The top 70 or so miles were empty, saw about half a dozen cars over the hour or so that I was riding it and just a couple of bikes. Had to overtake 3 cars, all of which pulled over for me. Best ride in a long time for traffic.
      Hard to believe this close to the city. All about timing (& dealing with the heat).

              Now that she's finally broken in I'll be able to put the whip to her a little more.

              Time to go for a ride, rinse and repeat.
              250K is pretty epic! FZ1 is a damn good choice to put miles like that on!

                      Go for ride...? Me...?

                      No.

                      But did drive into Grand Rapids to the the big multi-brand dealer there (looking at jackets and helmets) for an openhouse event.

                      Found my son (Redmanson, some of you have meet) and my son-in-law (recently moved back from SanDiego) there.


                      THEY rode

                      Justin Redmanson, on left, demonstrating his communication system, calling wife to say is on the way.

                      Yes, that is my Harley-Riding-Son-In-Law there on the right. (well, that is what I used to call him) (but that is another entire story).

                          Son-In-Law sold his loud (obnoxious) HD (ape hangers, solo seat) in Calif, before the move back, After having a baby and neighbors also had a loud HD.

                          He Bought the FJR here (before getting house or car actually).
                          Says maybe it had to do with having the BMW RT in his garage for 5 years.
                          Says he is now glad to have a bike he actaully wants to ride more than 15 minutes, more than once a month.
                          Says is nice to have foot pegs under him, so can put weight on them for control and for adjusting his position.
                          Says now needs ear plugs since can hear the wind noise (instead of just exhaust noise).

                              Didn't have to work yesterday so took a short drive around the Lake (Lake of the Ozarks, MO) to check out some of the tourist/weekender activity...Ha Ha Tonka State Park.
