Hogaan!
I may have a limited weekend as well, we shall see. I'm thinking tomorrow after taking the dog to the vet I'll ride downtown to get some Mud Hens swag at the "Swamp Shop". I need a new hat and a sticker to put on the bike.
Sunday I might make a run with the R80 - either out to the Marblehead lighthouse or west on Route 65; both which mean nothing if you're not from the Toledo area.
Seriously, they both lead to nice areas and are some of the few semi-twisty roads in the area.

Early Sat a.m. I'll be heading north from south-central WI (Lush green gentle rolling hills) to state hwy 33 west (Lots of twisties), then north thru the Mindoro cut (A squid fav), then west over to Old Man River (The mighty Missisidrippy) stopping for lunch in LaCrosse. Then comes the Great River Road south (Awesome vistas), I'll turn it east just before Prairie DuChien and wind my way through through Coulee Country (Lots of twistys/elevation changes), then east on state hwy 14 thru Madison then slab it home. Should be about a 420 mile loop.
This will be my first extended ride since my surgery.
Oh yeah, I just scored a point and shoot digital camera so I may just (If I can figure out how) file a ride report complete w/pictures!!!!!
HURRY UP SATURDAY!!

I'm heading out to ride dirt at a motorcross place near Mizeppa, Minnesota on my 250, along with my son and his buddies. We are pulling a trailer (gasp) with my gas guzzler GMC to haul all these bikes. Since I'm the only adult in this gang of boys, it will be watching out for everyone, making lunch duties, but I expect a great time is on the horizon! I can't wait!
I wish I had a HP2 to try out, though! Instead I will be riding my little 4 stroke Kawasak Super Sherpa!! I fully expect to be blown out of the water by this group of 13 and 14 yr old boys full of testoserone!

It is my intention to head out towards the plateau . . . I'll follow a familiar highway till I see one of those roads I've never taken and have no clue where it goes. I do this often and the practice has provided me with endless beautiful rides. On the last one though, the road kept getting smaller, the pavement went away, and all of a sudden I found myself in someones's front yard, surrounded by three large, very vocal dogs. The lady who came to the door of the house didn't shoot at me, but she didn't call off the dogs either.

Now that I am back behind my fabulous RS bars, I am going to ride to breakfast and then head up to the Mackinaw Bridge and cross over to da U.P. eh.
I missed the Gillette rally because of surgery. I have been taking baby steps riding the red rocket. It is time to make longer rides.

I feel your pain
but I got mine back last weekend, and tomorrow morning I'm putting the last 50 miles on the first 500 of the new rings, and draining the oil. Then off to work.
Sunday morning I'm going to re-fill the oil and replace the filter, re-torque the heads, check valve clearances, button it up and off to work.
Monday, my real weekend, I'm going to ride enough to get it warm, synch the carbs and try and put on a hundred, now at two thirds throttle, (yahoo) up and down the tollway before I have to do a couple hours of work stuff.
Tuesday, the tag-end of my "weekend," I'm going to try and put on another 100 before work.
It's not much, but it's all I got. And doing what I can in the time I got is lots better than the past month of not riding at all!!!

2-up and havin' fun
In the Northeast we have had WEEKS of rain and probably 13 out of the last 14 days. Heavy rain, thunderstorms then clearing for an hour or two then heavy rain again.
I am nuts about keeping the bikes clean but I have given up.
I also no longer care about the weather- I go on rides whenever I feel like- don't even look at the forecast anymore. Yesterday I did 150 miles in mostly moderate to heavy rain.
Hopefully this weekend I will be able to scout out the rest of a route for the Green Mountain Rally (9/12, 13 & 14) to Whitehorse Gear and back. About 300 miles round trip.
