A few more minutes and I’ll be home. Gas station attendant was cool told me to hang out when I went in to buy a soda.

Home safe, my wife was behind me all the way. It’s been about 6 months since I’ve ridden and my wrist was sore earlier. Took the outter road home, no more interstate. It wasn’t the rain and water that bothered me it was the strong gusty winds right before the rain hits.

Kinja'd!!!

Garage is now full.

I have lived far too long now in places where soda is called pop.

Ride safe.

Radar looks like an explosion.

Had to move a couple things, but it’s in. Front brakes are acting my up so I’ll have to attend to that. I don’t know if there was air in the line or what, but it would slow down, but I could squeeze it all the way without going over the bars, that’s not good. Rear brakes worked though.

I ordered new pads under the awning. $10.60 shipped

I guess that’s where the radar tower is based. It looks like that sometimes.

My wife and I also took a nice ride this afternoon. Beat the rain home by about 5 minutes- I’m down in Jefferson County and it is raining like hell right now- glad we didn’t get caught out in it.

I picked up my bike earlier, then to south county near 55 & Bayless, then out to Ofallon. Got as far as Zumbell exit when the wind was enough.

My newest neighbor is retired and has a big Harley. Haven’t talked to him yet.

Mine and my wife’s Uncle’s Harley. He has been all over, Sturgis, Daytona, little Sturgis....

Beautiful silverwing you have there. That the 500 or the 650 version of it?

One of my neighbor builds hard tail choppers, we don’t ride together, but we talk bikes regularly.
