    Stator and I are now in Montréal. And I will start publishing some of his adventures.

    The album:

    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.


    At first I thought he was a lolly column in that pic.

      After making our way out of Chicago we stopped in a motel to dry out our stuff from the morning shower.
      We both got a warm baths because we could (Stator's bath is pretend because I believe he would turn to mud).



      Jake and Elwood Blues jumped over the GK in Joliet.



      At the launching pad Stator met with a TV and movie star. Also doing the Route 66 but Eastbound. They traded "Secrets" in each other's ears.....Then they giggled looking at me.....Go figure.



      After getting a bit out of beaten paths and driving between corn fields Stator took over the map reading part of this expedition.



      We refuelled and had our pictures taken. That's a real man behind Stator. Stator auditioned to get the part of the station attendant for next year......They said "we’ll call you".



      We rode and walked on an old section of the route.

          When we first got to the Launching pad it was surrounded by old cars.

          "Wow, expensive display". I didn't know if I was allowed to park there.
          I found a spot. Turned out to be a meet of some car collector club.

          Spoke with one of the owners. He was curious about the GK.
          Mileage, age, parts, what was fabricated, from other bkes, where it had been, etc...

            In Pontiac Stator got to drive test some mascot sized vehicles.



            Found a "Tennis Ball Tree". Turns out that they are "Hedge Apple" trees. They grow in other places too and they are not "Apples". And you can't eat them.



            Stator got balls.



            St-Louis.

              Nice set of pictures. I'm still looking for a bike for Stator's own to ride. We came close once on the coast, but it was a Harley clone.

                Car Museum. So many wild animals here.






                Kansas is so .....short. Only one sign.....Or so it seemed.

                  Camping breakfast. That was good coffee.





                  Motorcycle museum.




                  Stator has a good eye and found the only Suzuki there. When asked about it the manager asked if he could keep my ride.....Is it that old?



                  Stator asked the manager if he could sit on it. He said "Yes" and assisted him.

                    Another Campground.



                    A little dismantling. For fouled plugs.



                    1, 2 and 3 looked like this. 4 like that one.



                    What a clever bear. Stator just happened to have a box of plugs with him.



                    More museum to educate the young bear.



                    Drive in classic. Brain food for stuffed bear.

                      Texas oil.



                      Cadillac Ranch





                      Been there.



                      I can fix that.





                      Do you think I could ride here instead of the bag??

                        More Texas. Cause everything is bigger here.






                        Stator- Someone left the door unlocked but took the last can.
                        Me- Back then it would have been bottles.

                          New mexico.



                          Slices. The first one Stator gave it it's good enough till California. The second one well it was closed. I will have to look like a walrus a little longer yet.





                          More museum. Amber gave stator a New Mexico pin and wished she could travel like he does.

                          Stator- "I travel in a bag and by mail!"




                          How long have you had that headache? Have you thought of seeing a doctor?

                            No explanation but I know what it is. Never would have dreamed of such a thing.
                            It's a "Jukebox" it contains 12 wax cylinder recordings.








                            Stator reading the manual and telling me the differences between models of GS.



                            Are you going to eat that?

                              Me- Now I didn't take the following pictures.......So who did?
                              Stator- It's a mystery.

                                Petrified forest. Painted Desert.



                                Me- Stator! Stop! Stop putting your foot behind the sign.
