Thanks for the tip. I will consider it. Those nuts are really rusty and scare me.
It's something I would rather do home. Where the consequence of a broken stud can be dealt with.

Nice. And Daniel, it’s good to see you posting and riding👍. Safe travels.
I’ve always been curious if Rt66 lives up to its lore, or is a romanticized memory of times gone by.sigpic

Between 1963 and 1974, we lived on the west side of Chicago. Every other year, my dad took a longer vacation and we drove to visit relatives near Riverside, California. Basically followed Rt. 66 the first few times, then the freeway started taking over. It would be nice to see the few pieces of the road that are left.

I wanted to do route 66 because I always wanted to cross the continent all the way to LA. Hard to do with our old bikes....with mine anyway.
So far I find R66 disappointing. Steve would have nostalgia for the know to him sites. I don't have any. Never been here. Now if I could redo the trips we did every year with my dad driving and stop at the same places we always did that I would enjoy.
The distances are very long the few remaining bits are in bad shape or hard to access. Crossing the larger cities through their downtown is a bit painful. And crossing small cities with their failed business is also painful.
I do not regret the vistas. Amazing countryside. New Mexico and Arizona are amazing.
I of course stopped for sites and museum to educate our small friend. Maybe I learned something too.
In the next few days I need to find an Internet café and get some pictures up for you guys and gals.
Currently just outside Flagstaf AZ.

If you can, stop in Seligman, AZ. Not sure which way you're headed but that little town is a gem. We go out of our way just to pop in and see the little museums filled with vintage bikes and cars. It's the town that inspired the cartoon movie Cars. Really fun place. Maybe you already stopped there but I'll attach a photo or two for your consideration anyway.

We met in Toronto before he departed to visit Dale and I specifically asked him to say hello to Morgan.
He kept his promise, as a gentleman should.
Thanks, DanielBertrand Russell: 'Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.'

Trying to get myself back to Canada. The cold snap is slowing me down. Had to ride back south to avoid some snow.
Coupled with short days and killer cold when the sun is down makes for short rides.
I am trying for Dales place on Friday night. Toronto on Saturday.
We could meet again on Sunday before my last push home.
Of course all this is contingent on the bike and weather behaving.

Hello all.
Stator and I are now in Montréal. And I will start publishing some of his adventures.
The album:
Discover the magic of the internet at Imgur, a community powered entertainment destination. Lift your spirits with funny jokes, trending memes, entertaining gifs, inspiring stories, viral videos, and so much more from users.
It all started (For Stator anyway) at Steve's place. I got to park the GK in Steve's new motorcycle garage.
The ceiling isn't low. Steve his very tall.
There Stator in full gear was practising counter steering and dragging knee.
National Museum of the USAF. Look I’m an airplane.
While I was on the phone Stator ate my pulled pork. He left me the slaw.
Later that day on our way to Chicago. Just like Harold and Kumar Stator can eat his own weight, in burgers, in a single meal.
Surveying our camp-site.
Got rain in the morning. Got to Chicago where Stator stuck his tongue to a post. Being September not much happened to him from that.
We joined route 66.
