First ride back in WI.

[Lawrence Johnson]

And, as I recall, the only motorcycle shop in town is Bobby Bala, who only does Harleys.

But there's a good Suzuki guy in Tomah--found a choke cable there that I couldn't find in Seattle.

There is a guy in town that started a Motorcycle shop about a mile down the road from Bala's. It's called Mauston Motorsports. I go there often. I have been to that Suzuki place in Tomah too.

Man, Tomah brings back some memories I used to live there. I would drill out at Fort McCoy with the "82nd TNG DIV". I used to work at VanDemeers (can't remember if that's spelled right) Chevrolet for awhile too. I still remember why I hate cranberries to this day. I got a job on one of the cranberrie marshe after we first moved up there and thought it would be cool, nope, wrong, not in the middle of winter!:shock:

Nice pictures! I love NE Iowa and SW Wisconsin, our rides often take us up there, and all along the Mississippi river. I moved back to Iowa 3 years ago after living in the Phoenix area for 3 years before that and I enjoy riding here more than I did there. I just wish the riding season was longer here, even though we rode quite a bit last winter, as we had a really easy winter.

I could have done this in my previous post, I guess I'm a post *****!

Anyway, what part of Iowa are you in? I used to live around Sioux City. I still have alot of family left there too. I've been in the Army so long I haven't been home in a really long time! I'm starting to miss it now

Tony,

If that's Mauston ,why do the roads look so straight???

My cousins have a farm out towards Elroy. Lots of drinking and bonfires in the summer.

Topography

The Lemonweir/Wisconsin River valley is sandy flats, but to the West/Southwest are the high bluffs as you head towards Elroy and Wonewoc and over to the Mississippi Valley.

Our family farm was on the boundary: at the northern edge was the township of Lindina, but we were in "Summit" township and the hills started just back of our farm.

Tomah :shock:

My Great Grandparents settled there after leaving Switzerland and yes I like Cheese.

We are in Lindina...you weren't too far away.

Local History

The south side of Lindina Township had a number of farms owned by members of the Petrowitz family and the Steiners (a Petrowitz daughter married a Steiner and their sons had several farms in the area.) They're congregated around the intersection of Hwy 58 and 0. My grandfather was one of the Petrowitz brothers and his farm--and then my fathers and then mine and now my brothers--farm was just across the township line between Summit and Lindina. I did first grade at the Rock Valley School across from the building known as Stewart's Chapel.

Wow...family farm is just a couple miles west of there...corner of O and G. Our place used to be owned by Dr. Hess. Of course the town hospital is named after him. (Hess Memorial Hospital) We have an old chair in our house with an "H" carved in the back of it.
