Green Bay to San Antonio

[Whip]

I bought "Jimbo's" 2006 FJR...I took a flight to Green Bay and spent a couple days riding it back to Texas..

After picking the bike up and taking the pix at Lambeau... I realized I may never be in Wisconsin again...my home was 1700 miles south...so I headed north.........to Sturgeon Bay.......I stayed along lake Michigan and wanted to see the sunrise on 6-6-06...some thought the sun would never rise on such a day....

that mornin I found some nice roads headin north.....

Being from the Great Lakes area I had forgotten how fast the weather can change....

But I didn't let it bother me....

It was time to head south...about 800 miles later I was in Arkansas on Scenic Byway #7...Great Road

My wrist was killing me so I made a throttle holder...

When I got to Texas I checked out the new ventilation system......better than my 2003 but still a little warm .....much of the day was over 100 degrees

As I got close to San Antonio the sun was setting.....it was great to be home
