Head east - on to Ohio

Recommended Posts

Got out at 4:00 AM for the ride towards Ohio today. 37F outside so it was a bit chilly. Of course the Big Red Pig had to have a drink first thing today ....

Stopped awhile later to take a pic of the sunrise - but the Sun was having trouble shining through all of the smoke in the air from Canadian forest fires...

Stopped for a pee at a rest area and the Kansas Welcome Wagon pulled in behind me. But he was there to hassle a truck driver about something and paid little attention to me...

Landed in Kansas City for the night - some 650 miles after leaving home. It's 93F / 34C here - felt hot as  shit to me.

Great view out the of the room ...

Up early again tomorrow to ride to Indianapolis. Should be about 500 miles so it'll be an easier day tomorrow.

More pics  later as they happen ......

4AM start? That's brutal!

Nah - normal waking hours for me. It's 4:15 AM now as I'm headed out the door.

Horrible rains storms here last night - hope the bike didn't float away!

But, made it to Indy and stopped to see my buddy Clint. The Ferrari that we brought back from Texas last year is going to paint this week. Then he'll do the final assembly in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see it done ...

Out for dinner and beers in a bit - will try to get some pics if anything seems interesting.

More later.......

You must be spending a fortune on fuel with the Wing?

I'm surprised that a bike that's specifically designed for touring is so thirsty!

I don't really care about the costs - it's just a pain to have to stop so often.

I think maybe they're made for older guys who don't ride at higher speeds that affect the mileage so much. Can't think of any other reason why it'd have such a small tank and limited range.

Dinner was burgers at a local spot last night - nothing spectacular there.

Had a bourbon barrel aged beer with dinner. Worst shit I ever had. Trendy beer with a weird flavor of honey, vanilla and bourbon. 11% alcohol was nice though.

Since they messed up our order, we got a free round of the same beers. So I had to drink 2 of these crap beers. $12 a bottle too - not worth it.

Saved the night with a few old reliables at the hotel bar though. Cheap as chips here in Indy as compared to back home. $5 a bottle here and $8 in Colorado...

Slept in today as the ride to Ohio is relatively short - 4 hours / 300 miles.. Will get going in awhile and stop by my bud's house on the way outta town.
