    Gen 2/3 RDL driver seat

    Selling a Gen 2/3 Russel Day Long seat. Driver's seat only! Fit for someone around 5' 10", 230ish. Vinyl. This is not a custom-to-me seat, I got this secondhand a couple years ago. It has done well for me. 54k miles that I put on it- I can't complain. It has a decent bucket dish in it-...

    MN Tech Day 4/28

    Well, I don't know how well a pasta dish would hold up on an 11 1/2 hr bike ride from Ohio.... But I could always grab a bag of chips on the way in. Lol!

    Where did 2017 go?

    For some odd reason… I didn’t get out for a ride on New Year’s Day. So my riding for the year began on January 21. And the temps were in the upper 50’s!?!?!?! Met up with Wayne and Phil in Toledo. Rode around lower, lower Michigan, went to Brandon’s, and Don’s, picked up ½ used tires. Wet...

    Take A Little Trip

    The next morning- after a long hot shower, and 10 fabulous hours of sleep in a king sized bed in a climate controlled room… I was ready to hit the road for the remaining 300 miles. And it’s nice, when refreshed, how you see things differently. I was able to enjoy the miles- even though it was...

    Take A Little Trip

    Sunday. Oh Sunday. I leave the camp, and run down to the hotel to have breakfast with some of the others… and to also deliver a few items that were left at the barn on Saturday night. After saying my final farewell, I head north. It’s cold. I had to change into my thicker gauntlet gloves...

    Take A Little Trip

    Saturday morning. Wake up, look at radar. See blobs of rain hovering over us. Yeah, I’m not going anywhere. Stayed in my comfort sweats all day. Sat around and chatted with people. Helped change a tire on Josh’s bike. Space heater was brought out and lit. Pulled the computer out and...

    Take A Little Trip

    Night set in quickly, we all retired to our sleeping quarters, and sleep overcame me well. Morning arrived with an early sun, and the sound of campers rustling around. Light breakfast was served, and the riders descended to the hotel to gather with the rest of the crew. Groups were...

    Take A Little Trip

    Next morning, I wake up, check the weather and was shocked to see how chilly it was!! Luckily the sun started shining, and it didn’t feel as frigid as I thought it was going to. Made my way to the Little River Canyon National Preserve, which has a beautiful scenic drive along the canyon...

    Take A Little Trip

    I don’t even know where to begin. I suppose the beginning of the trip would be best. But let’s go before that for a moment. SFO last year was an awesome time. It was enjoyable weather. It was good riding. It was great people. And the southern hospitality was top notch. I knew I had to...

    Here I Go Again...

    Thank you! It took a bit for me to realize that I shouldn't be stressing over something I didn't have time to see. I had to realize just how much I WAS seeing... and it helped to bring things back into focus. And the motivation at the end of the day was fun!! I just KNEW someone was out...

    Here I Go Again...

    Forum page is being silly about posting more videos. So the best I can say is head over to the youtube channel, and view the rest of them. I really enjoy the video montage of riding with Tim and Lynnette... And also the video montage of conquering Mt Evans with Wayne. So there.

    Conclusion- First off- thank you so much to those who followed along and especially those who chimed in! It made it interesting to open the laptop at the end of the day and see what you guys and gals had said. Because I knew I was doing the ride report- it made me stop and look around a bit...
