Who's Coming With Me???

The Blind Lizard Rally on Nicollet Island. I've never been to this show but the add in the Star Trib says it attracts cool and weird two-wheelers.

Ahhhhhhh is Sunny Sunday ever going to come.

There is nothing like a cold beer and the open road.

What a song!

Weather or not to go

Well I've finally gained some confidence in my bike. The first few runs, or shakedown runs as I'm told I should call them, did not go so well. Carb issues, starter issues, etc. I've tacked on a few miles now and am willing to point her towards the WI border this Saturday morning. Sandy claims to have found a chopper fest of sorts and while I know nothing about it, I trust his judgment completely on this sort of thing. I tested the bungy straps today on the way home from work and am convinced they will hold down a tarp, an extra t-shirt, and a leather coat. Anything more for a chopper fest seems pretentious. The only thing that troubles me now is this April weather we're having here in June.

The beginning

It started awhile back when most of us where introduced to the "idea" It could have been a magazine a movie or a friend or a family member. For me it was my dad and a shed full of old bikes.

I grew up with my dad giving me rides on his Yamaha. If my feet couldn't reach the pegs I was riding up on the tank and when I got older...

So many years later I finally got my own bike and the adventures began.
