2talltim Posted July 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Short travel day after work just to get our road legs under us. At the hotel east of Indy now. At O'charleys and just ordered 2 steaks and 2 beers. Let the good times begin. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted July 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Great day of riding today even though it was ALL slab. Beautiful weather perfect temps and very little traffic. Stopped at Antique Archeology and meet us with @JustinNck1 parents at the Iowa 80 (worlds largest truck stop). Ate at Smokey D's BBQ Des Moines , it was pretty good. You get a lot of food for the money there. Braved speeding semis and deadly gravel to get the state signs in today... Here are the pics....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue-yamaR6s Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks for sharing the many photos. Great place to be riding. Brings back memories of my trip out there 2 years ago. Some epic roads in the whole area. Deadwood is such a cool town. The casino had great food and for a good price. Keep having fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howabusa Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Tim had some issues with his bike yesterday. They ended up in Cooke city Montana. They drained his gas tank and found some slime on the fuel filter sleeve. They are back on the road, per Becky, tim’s wife. I sent them a text and I am waiting for a answer.

Howabusa Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I just heard from Tim and Justin. They just made it to their hotel. They dodged some heavy rain today. Tim said that his bike is running like normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Been a busy last couple days. Finally got to a hotel with decent wifi. Everything is running smoothly as of now. Long day riding through Yellowstone today. Got a lucky break riding between storm cells. Going north to Glacier National Park tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted August 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Update on the bike: Well today she ran well. Took the pump out last night and disassembled it. Didnt really see anything wrong. Cleaned up the pick up sock and ran the pump for a few seconds out of the bike and reassembled. Dumped all the gas that was in it just to play safe. This morning pushed to the gas station put a couple gallons in it and went on a test flogging and all was well. Decided to stick to our planned route today and 450 miles it ran perfectly no issues. Still have a pump-filter pick up and pressure regulator eroute to tomorrow nights hotel just incase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
