Take time to stop at the largest Bass Pro shop in Springfield Mo.I hope you take some time to tour the Ozarks.That area is amazing to me.A short drive east off hwy 69 in north eastern Oklahoma to Arkansas winding your way north to Mo the terrain changes dramatically.Sure beats that long flat drive on I44.Too bad I missed this post.I could have met up with you yesterday to show you FM455 in Texas.Very nice long rural ride with lots of turns between Anna and Sanger.A stop in Celina to photo the signs of how many state championships in football is a must or even better to watch one of the games Friday night.Get a photo of the arch when you reach St louis!

Dudes!!
I'm having a blast just watching you guys on your trip. I know you are not going to go all the way down into West Palm Beach, FL.
No twisties at all!!! Flat as a board. BUT!! All sorts of water front Biker friendly Bars & Restaurants. and the Babes! Holy Crap!!, The babes in bathing suits all over the place year round drinking beer and partying. Not a bad place to live!!!
The pictures are great and in my mind I'm the third guy riding with you.
Keep the post coming for all of us that are eating our heart out!!
Hang Tough! Ride Safe.

Made it into Missouri two nights ago.
Having a good time:
Saying hi to other riders:
At the state line:
The next day, my buddy took me here:
First time there. Food was disgustingly good.
Then my buddy took me to the Budweiser brewery in St. Louis, MO. here's some pics from our trip there:
After leaving the brewery, we went to Busch stadium and got in free courtesy of the local PD
The Cardinals were playing the Reds. Cards won.
We leave St. Louis today, headed to Chicago, IL. We should be there early tonight.
More updates to come.

IB, looks like you're having fun. FYE (for your entertainment) you should consider riding up or down through the mountain ranges of the east coast. The Appalacians & the Smokies. Something you shouldn't miss if you're a serious canyon carver. Be safe & have fun, Heidi

Good to see you guys are having such a good time.
When you get to Chicago check the area around Rush st. and Divsion st., you'll have a good time. Also, don't forget to take a ride along Lakeshore Dr. Heading north from the loop, it will take you along the lake and into the northern suburbs where it then becomes Sheridan Rd. It's a beautiful ride - highly recommended!

Some new pics
The Arch at St. Louis:
It started raining on our way to Chicago:
Finally got there and got me a nice Chicago style pizza:
Left Chicago this morning and it was raining again until after the Indiana state line:
Then we reached Ohio:
After we got into Ohio, the weather sucked. The rain just started pouring and to make things worse, it had gotten dark already.
We finally decided to stop at Cleveland for the night. We were soaked from the waist down. We were hungry so we had dinner at the Cleveland Chophouse:
Tomorrow I think we're going to head up to Buffalo, NY for some wings
More updates and pics to come later.

Riding in the rain sucks

Still lookin' good Myke, even in the damp weather.Tomorrow I think we're going to head up to Buffalo, NY for some wings

Make sure you find The Anchor Bar in Buffalo. It doesn't look like much, but that is the place that Buffalo wings were invented. Gastronomic history !!
Keep those shiny parts up!!
