I have been coming to Sturgis since 1986, and have attended numerous times. The last time I came was in 2006 and I told myself I would not return. Circumstances changed and I found myself meeting Tanya here. Every other time I arrived at the beginning of the rally. This year I came towards the …
Long day yesterday, which is why this post is a day late. I started the day off at the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for a saline drip. Apparently, I am not as young as I used to be and with the extreme heat I had been dealing with I got severely dehydrated. I thought I …
Day 223 of my picture a day project, and day three of my ride to Sturgis. Today I rode from Grand Junction, through Denver and into Cheyenne, WY. The height of my journey would have to be the Eisenhower Tunnel, since it is above 11,000 feet. The down side was that the wind was so …
Last night I rode to Mesquite, NV. I stopped in Henderson and met a friend for dinner. He then joined me for about 30 miles. It was the slowest I have ridden this entire trip (but worth it). I started the day off by riding through the Virgin River Gorge on I-15. That place is …
Three months ago I took a test ride on a 2010 Harley-Davidson Limited, in Sioux Falls, SD. I was so impressed with the bike that a couple weeks later I owned one. I now have 3,063 miles on it and I am getting ready to more than double that number, beginning now. Day 221 of …
Heading out to Sturgis tomorrow, so decided to give the Limited a bath before we leave. I know the first thing I will be looking for when I arrive is a bikini bike wash to get all the grime off her from the ride out there. I have a great route planned and should have …
To be honest, I never dreamed that this would happen. Prior to May, my favorite around town bike was my Night Train. It is slim, sleek, light and very easy to manipulate through traffic. The perfect city bike. Then I got the Limited. While this bike is twice as big in bulk and weight, it …
I hope no local cops read this blog. Last week I put Screaming Eagle mufflers on my new Limited. Unfortunately, for the money spent, it wasn’t really quite enough. As I have been a customer of Bartels’ Harley-Davidson for almost 25 years, Ron Bartels was not about to let me be even slightly unsatisfied. That …
Sunday, Day 206 of my photo a day, found me on the road for a nice leisurely ride. I headed up to Lake Castaic, then over to Lake Hughes and Elizabeth Lake. It was a nice day with very little traffic. Pretty much a perfect day in my book. This photo was taken on a …
Saturday I headed over to Bartels’ Harley-Davidson in Marina del Rey to get a replacement lock for my tour pack and a new exhaust to help improve performance of my new 2010 Limited. Turns out the lock has not arrived, so I had to settle for the new Screaming Eagle mufflers. Day 205 picture of …
