Day 43 Perfect, sunny and warm! AND I got to spend over 4 hours in the Pensacola Naval Air Museum. I just love this stuff and I can slowly wander around, taking pictures and enjoying the history write ups of so many of these great aircraft, from open cockpit biplanes to the most modern jets and...

Day 39 The first of two days off in Key West. This place is such an icon of Florida and my entire life I have wondered what it is like. Well, it is hot, humid, sunny with sudden infrequent rainstorms, lots of trees and gardens, and huge old homes in the southern part. Marinas everywhere with...

Day 35 cloudy with some light showers on the way to Charleston. About 225 miles. Arrived at our friends house in Mt Pleasant early afternoon and they graciously dropped us off at Battery Park. We spent about 4 hours wandering around the magnificent old town streets slowly working north and...

Stay safe, Mike. I'm in Northern Louisiana, awaiting a tornado alert to move east so I can get going again. Very gusty, hard rain storm arriving in Winnfield late yesterday afternoon, with a **** load of thunder and lightning on top of me. Nice.

This is a 20,000 +/- ride. First change was 5500 miles in. The above change was around 12000 miles in.

Dang, missed you all cuz I'm in New Orleans, a little over halfway in my 50-60-70 Big Ride. About 12500 miles now with about 8000 left. Sure miss the pie, probably would have had to wrestle Niehart for the last piece. SPOT tracker https://bit.ly/1nugeup Facebook blog and pics...

Done!

I also had a new '73 H2 and it was truly an animal and scary as **** to get used to. Very big power for its day, 750 cc, two stroke triple and the lightest, weak frame welding imaginable. Poor brakes, and poor fuel economy but it would sure scoot. The Widow Maker was well named. This new...

I've been changing oil and doing minor service work on my bikes for 50 years so the Walmart solution clearly should have been on my mind had I known the price. And hindsight is so much clearer than foresight. Yes, I should have asked but since I was prepared to pay around $80 for the...

Overdue for an oil and filter change on my 50-60-70 Big Ride, I headed for the local big dealer Tues AM in Hattiesburg. Enjoyed their amazingly large inventory of shiny toys but when I got the bill, I was shocked. $132.50, $79.50 for labor plus materials and tax. Fook! The most I had...

I'm on my 29th or 30th state on this ride and am heading NW in Florida after 3 days in Key West. I have seen some real dumb **** aggressive douchetard drivers in the past 6 weeks. The worst was a Miami SUV that forced a pass on me on one of the bridges in the Keys southbound a few days ago...

We went east on 21 and 221 a few days ago and they are very nice

We saw an amazing amount in pretty short order and obviously can't wait to go back and do even more. This was my first time in DC and some of the images I am retaining are very, very thought provoking and others leave me with great pride and respect. I also cannot help but think that if the...

Day 32 On the DC Mall, light rain ended around 2 PM and we walked miles back and forth seeing the Monument, Capital building, Library of Congress, White House, reflecting pond, Vietnam Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and the Air & Space Museum. Lots of powerful emotions at the...

Day 26 Off to very sunny but cold 250 mile ride into Montreal which went very nicely until the freeways starting merging in downtown and traffic basically crawled all the way west to Dorval which is where the hotel we had booked near the airport was. It was great to get there early and start...

Good to see you on the go. Had a fantastic dinner in Charleston last night, and awoke to pouring rain this AM, Marianne will get a taste of what you and I had in the upper midwest, but much warmer. Heading south shortly to be in Key West by Wed noon. Stay safe, Mike. my SPOT link...

I always include Many Glaciers on my rides to the area and its mostly paved. When I did both a few weeks ago, the weather was bad and the top of Logan Pass was 0/0 visibility for about 2 miles. Could not see 40' feet and having headlights or tail lights suddenly loom in front of me was...

No, long gone

Thanks, Fred, Marianne and I both really enjoyed our short meet and hope we can do more one day in the future! Safe riding to you. Love that new red scooter...
