     Yuppers one of them things! Absofrikkinlutely GORGEOUS day here in SoMo. And The WIND called and I answered. Now granted the RIDE was only 100 miles total BUT fer an old fart who has NOT been in the Wind longer than I care to recollect-Tween 2 and a half 3 years-Yeah THAT Long it felt EXACTLY as good as I remember and Still sortin out the 3 wheel thingy! I rode down to Mammoth Springs Ar and took a break in the shade as it was flirtin with low 80s. The G/W ran pretty good BUT she ain't no Valkyrie! But at amost 40 MPG and I was ridin her hard so no Real complaints! Slowing down way More than I used to for turns and some curves is somewhat weird! But THE Main thing here Is I are Back in The WIND!!  cooldude RIDE SAFE.

Awesome sauce! Hoping the fates allow us both to make it to Iowa soon, and in light of that good to get some practice in before hand!

    To Everyone a Heartfelt THANKS! We're All RIDERS here so we All GIT IT!  cooldude And YESYESYES it felt soooooo good being back in the wind. As I stated Still sortin out the extra wheel BUT without the extra wheel my Riding Days were numbered.  Undecided The sins and excess's of youth I'm afraid That particular bill has come due.  Lips Sealed Anywho I am Planning on being in Dubuque in June. I intend to keep going further afield on Phatter Ghurl so the 500 mile roll up to my Brothers place WILL take place in 1 day Hopefully!  coolsmiley But should i NEED to break it up imto a 2 day ride I will. BUT we shall see and I'll keep adding miles as I'm able. Attempting to git back in ridin shape as it are. RIDE SAFE.
