Harley is that 112 year old man in the nursing home that just won't die, no matter how many bodily functions are no longer in service.

They can have him.

460 miles today. 140 short of my intended route, but I got a late start due to an electrical issue with the Voyager. Got the famous Yuasa POP... same thing that happened to me on the Multistrada a few years ago. I was dead in the water with 500 miles ahead of me. A quick phone call to Jim to make sure I didn't touch something I should not have resulted in another phone call home to see if Amanda was able to drive my spare battery to me. She was and did. It is half the size of the OEM, but it did the job. A new one is on the way, but she saved my bacon big time today. Back in business... I took 77S to Parkersburg, then was supposed to take 47..but I needed to make time, so I shot across 50 to WV-31, then 47 to 119, past Buckhannon. Then I grabbed 250 in Elkins and took it all the way to I-64. Wow.. 250 is a great way to get across WV. I had never taken it past 28, but it just gets better the further east you go. Stopped for a quick bite and fuel before I hit the freeway and was making great time considering how much I lost this morning. Cruise set at 80mph and Joe Satriani playing in my helmet... I was going to make it by 9:30 at this rate. Then Google informed me of a car crash on I-95S and I started checking the radar. Rain was just ahead of me, so it seemed like a fine time to call it a day. I made it to Richmond, VA... 2 hours north of Rocky Mount, NC. So, I will be up early tomorrow to get back on schedule. I have 150 miles between me and the customer's facility. Boo! Still... I had my own epic ride today. 10/10, would ride again.

I am cold as fuck. It was 45 when I left home and an hour later it is 37 degrees.

Or.... now hear me out.... or, just don't make them in the first place.

I head to Rocky Mount on Sunday.

I see no apology in this post.

Everytime I see Tim's "Metal Helth" rides, I wish he would invite me. I couldn't go, of course..but that is irrelevant.

No. I spoke out of turn. I will go back to my hole, now.

I think Medium is going to be dialed back a bit from your usual pace. It will still be fun and I hope to have Isaac in with us.

Talk about Epic Rides... how are you, sir?

How come I don't get to ride bitch on the Wing?

Scratch this... I will not be 2-up. I might still have Isaac in tow, though. I will be on the Hyper, but probably still in Medium.

STFU, track slut.

I will be there, 2-up on the Whale. I will be in Medium. I will not lead, but am willing to sweep.

...and I am booked elsewhere. @durk, PM me for details.

Your line sucks?

WV-47 is also pretty swell.

I should be free Friday. Feel like lunch in WV?

Nope. Too humid for my liking. The motorcycling is good here. I will admit that.

In Vegas until Wednesday.

I thought about you two when we crossed paths. That's funny. I hope you had a good ride, too.

475 mile ride for BBQ in Weston, WV. Jim says this place sucks, but he is wrong. He must be thinking of another joint, because this shit is delicious. Better than that... the route there and back is phenomenal. It was so good I wanted to stop and take pics of a couple of the corners, but I had a deadline to meet. I left my house at 7:30 and was home at 5:15...and I had to swing by the office to get some things for next week's trip. So, I would have made my 5:00 arbitrary goal. I am calling it a win because I rode my ass off today and had a blast. I haven't done a solo cannonball run like this in a long time. You all missed out on a stellar set of roads. I am going to do this ride again in the spring, so be ready. I had a sandwich called "Pipeliner". It is the only thing I have eaten here, but this is just my second visit. I will choose something else next time, but that is a damn good sanwich. The garlic pickles are also very good. My dinner is also incredible. Today was a good day.

You two should just fuck and get this over with.

I guess 2018 Goldwing.
