Duluth Trip

I headed up the "Blue Star Highway" today to Duluth. The objective was to make purchase at the Rider Wearhouse http://www.aerostich.com/ . The day started out a bit chilly, just above freezing, however, on the return trip I was taking off the layers. Route 23 from Duluth to Sandstone was a great road. Wish I would of been on that all day. You can see from the pic where I stopped for lunch, not sure who the lady was that open the door when I clicked the camera, oh well. Round trip from home was 454miles!!!

1st Thurs @ Dulono's

Today was Apr. 3rd, first Thursday of April. I've heard about "1st Thursday's" from a friend and took off this afternoon to check it out. It was a great time, the pizza was great and had fun checking out the cycle scene in the cities. Dulono's is on Lake St. right near Lyndale. Comming home it was a bit chilly, temp was just under 40 when the sun went down.

2008 -- YEAH!!!

Today was it. I got home early and let the battery sit on the charger for 2hrs. Rinstalled the battery and the K-bike stared right up. Just before this I was going to put air in the tires and realized my pump was not working so I just stopped by the Super America down the road and got air. Everything seemed to run fine. Ended up putting about 30 miles on. It was SOOOOOO good to be out again.

35 Degrees!!!

So i've been itching to get out and RIDE. Took a 40min ride before dark. Temp was 35 degrees. Hands & upper body got a little cold, but feet and legs, no problem. I didn't have an extra layer uptop. It is great to know the cycle runs good in the cold. I'll keep experimenting to get it right. I'll finish up today getting the garage ready for both vehicles and the LT.

ISSUES: Wouldn't Start

One evening I thought a DQ run to a town about 30miles away was in order. However, I couldn't get the cycle started. After asking some questions many suggested that I clean the starter, you can see that there was just a little carbon on the inside. In the end I still replaced the battery and haven't had an issues since.

45000

At some point this Summer I looked down when I was out running errands and saw this. When I got this cycle it only had a little over 41000 on the clock. So many roads, so little time.

BMWMOA Rally

The day started with breakfast and Dale and I meeting up for the ride to W. Bend. We had a great day.
