Went east a few days ago and had 301 miles of crappy day on a
motorcycle. Hard to even explain why. I thought I'd go east since the wife like to see Lake Michigan, but I avoid that direction and the
congestion as much as possible. Just seemed to be always in the wrong place, riding around idiots, and couldn't wait for the day to be over
and get home.
Yesterday, went west and had 375 perfect miles. The rolling hills and
rural areas of SW Wisconsin made for a great day. It was just a perfect
day riding with the wife and opposite of the ride before. I wanted it
to gone on indefinitely. No GPS, I just knew where I wanted to go and
we headed out. Great temps, little traffic, not very much wind, and the
sun even snuck behind the clouds at times to give a break from the sun.
Good head clearing day.

Around here direction is moot . No large cities within a hundred
miles and there are nice roads no matter which direction you choose . RE would call it "GON2L Paradise" .

Around here its similar except hot, flat, and straight. With a very few very short exceptions there isn't much in the fun or even non
challenging fun in any direction. Atleast not unless you leave the pavement. Okay, dodging potholes on the way to Golfo De Sta Claire (El Golfo) can be a bit of a challenge... until the pavement runs out. (Been
a long time since I was down that way so it may have changed.)
None you all offered to buy a round, so I guess its on me. Shirely? Set
'em up. As hot as it is I'll stick with cold beer.
Seriously, there is one curve in town that's kinda fun if you are not
averse to breaking the speed limit. If you do there is a tiny dip that
has made some less skilled riders stand up their bike and ride right
into a sign. They haven't moved the sign. I guess they figure it stops them from hitting something else. There's one rode with a couple curves south of town, but then its all section line roads.

I learned about this area from Old Crow ... right here on the VB&G .

I remember that time that you, I and Lynn left Harrison on Hwy 7. Stopped near Dog Patch to take a smoke break and then continued down to Jasper. When we got there you said words to the effect of "You did that on purpose!". I had to hang my head in
Had almost the same conversation (but in reverse) with Lynn's cousin the time we took the Sportys out to Colorado and he took us on Skyline drive in Canon City late at night. We stopped at the top of the mountain to check out the city lights and afterthat we had to ride down the other side of the mountain. That Sporty of mine didn't have the best headlight, and the road was very dark...and very narrow.

I once limped to the rest area at the base of Telegraph Pass with a bad alternator and a dying battery late one night on the Yammer Hammer. I climbed the fence, walked to Ligurta Station to use the pay phone, and
call a buddy to bring my truck. He arrived and then cussed me out
because he had a women over and things were about to happen when I
called. I realized he was real buddy, because I'm pretty sure all my
other buddies would have made me wait. LOL.
I'll buy the next round to toast my buddy Larry who would throw a women
out of bed to come rescue me.

Wasn't that the weekend we spent at Table Rock Lake ? The one I
remember was that tight sweeper to the left into the bottom of a RAVINE where it switched to the right at the bottom ... you and Lynn had been
over that road the day before going to somewhere , I was caught totally unaware .
Speaking of dark , narrow , and twisty ... I rode AR 263 south from
our place in the dark one morning on my way to Memphis . A centerline occasionally , that was a scary ride !
I see a lotta empty glasses , SHIRLEY !
