        Mosquitoes have been really bad so I rode the Wisconsin Alphabet roads and fogged them.



        About a 500 mile day.

          Welcome to GSR.

          Where is the bike? Picture of lake aint no different than next person/tourist that stepped away from their car to take a picture.

          How was the ride?

          Boon Lake? Holsten Lake? other?

            Yep, road grime. Most of the chunks/gobs of clay got washed back off by the rain on return trip,(other than front of engine, could not hardly see the oil filter cover).
            But the general road grime remains.
            Did get to car wash, just to get the gobbs of clay off, and some of the road grime.
            Had stuff going on Sunday, and today and this evening ......
            So it its is just sitting there in garage ... corroding... rusting... tarnishing... fowling away. I know it is, every hour, I know it is. Just awful. Oh, the mental anguish.

              Went for a super lame ride after work.
              Tried to keep it mellow, yet the feeling was OMG, how can you drive this slow and get anywhere.
              Stuck behind cars the whole way.
              Would've been better just to go home and have a beer.
              Total waste of time. Don't think I got above 4500 rpms.
              Could've been a dick and passed some cars, but there were other cars farther ahead.
              Reminds me of the last big group ride I went on, sounded fun but was far from that.
              Just signed up for 2 days at Thunderhill in October, that might be a bit more exciting.

                A good thick coat of grime protects what is underneath. Cleaning spreads the abrasives and destroys everything. So I keep telling myself....

                      Hey Vince, that was a fun ride, chasing Charlie on the 650.
                      104 degrees when we got to Republic, as I recall.
                      Can't remember what year that was.
                      Sounds like a good loop, what 650 + miles?

                              weather was great so I went for a 100km cafe ride into the Rockies... a twisty deserted road, never hit any horses, cow, deer, moose or mountain sheep, a very good day...

                                Something like that, it was the first PNW rally, so something like 7-8 years ago. Took the 919 out a couple days ago and removed the unused rubber line, was fun, kinda like passing you coming down from the lake.
