Leaving out today
It's cloudy and threatening rain and my group leaves out in 1 hour heading to Sturgis. The bikes backed and looks like the grapes of wrath. This is going to be a fun trip.

Seriously, have a good time and be safe! There are a lot of wackos out there on the road that have no respect whatsoever for bikes!"If You Knew Half of What I Forgot You Would Be An Idiot" - by DoughBoy68

3266 miles round trip. I got back this afternoon about 4:30 pm. We left Sturgis Friday morning about 6:00 AM and road to 7 PM. left this morning just about day break about 6 am again . It's a little over 1200 miles so that ant bad for a old fat man. Interstate in South Dakota and the other states is 80 Tn is 70. Even though we went a week early there were a lots of people there and on the way back we saw too many to even guess so next week will be outrageous. For those who have road the mountain trails (I want call them road more like a can of worms.) you know what it's like. Just think about the dragon in East TN and add more miles and curves. It was a great adventure with good friends. Now I'll rest and think about the next one.

I really don't know what a FJ1200 is but the other thing about when you were young well if you think about it age is relative. We are all either younger or older depending on who we're comparing ourselves to. On this trip I was the oldest in our group. I'm looking forward to Daytona now (that is if the wife will let me go) and that will be a easier ride. (OH and I'm not hen pecked just have hen house ways)
