Well, I am cutting out early today. It is Mary's bday, and it is already raining, so I'll be getting wet, but I want to beat the lighting that is on the way thru!

And this is the reason I slow down at blind hilltops.

This morning on the way in, I topped a hill and in the middle of the road was an old hound dog, Laying down, smack dab in the middle of my lane.

I had already slowed from 65 mph to 45 mph and was covering my brakes, so I was able to slow down enough to give him time to meander off the road.

But if I had been going 65 mph when I topped the hill, pretty sure I would have hit him.

Every summer, at some point, I wish for the cooler weather, and every winter, at some point, I wish for the warmer weather. lol

If it's how where you are today....Here's a little cool weather riding to enjoy....

Last night Mary and went up to Beale Street. It was a perfect 82* on the way up, and the same 82* on the way back.

We got there a bit early, not too many bikes there yet.

Wish I had gotten a better pic of this sweet Softail Bobber.

My phone camera is obviously not set up for moving pics... but this series of 4 pics taken one after another, in a 15 second period, was classic...

Big Wheel Bagger followed by....

Big Wheel Tri-Glide, followed by...

A couple of scooters, followed by...

A cop on a bicycle.

Starting to fill up now.

We had a good meal, got to see a bunch of bikes, as always the people watching was good, and it was a great ride up and back!

Yes, we had a good time. Bike Night on Beale Street rarely disappoints.

We sometimes go to other "Bike Night" locations...there are a lot of them in the area....But Beale Street is always interesting.

Yesterday I rode over to the Grand Opening of the Indian Motorcycle Dealership in Memphis, TN.

It was underwhelming.

Not a lot of folks there. They were doing no test rides.

Don't know what I expected.

I arrived on my Softail and left on my Softail.

Took the long way home thru a bunch of winding roads. Had a blast!

Worked almost 90 hrs. last week so I had a chance to get out after 5 hrs. this morning so I took it. My wife and I took off on the Tri. Very cool wind especially when it's going to be July in a few days. We went through a small town about an hour away way' a milling operation there had an explosion a few weeks ago. 5 hard working men lost their lives in the explosion. We stopped for a minute, very sad to see all the devastation. Gives you a lot to think about and appreciate on the ride home.

Unseasonably cool weather this morning when I rode in. Sprinkling and 65 degrees.

First ride with my newly installed floorboards on the Sporty.

I'm digging them, a lot.

Sometimes there is no good reason.

Sometimes it is just fun!

I don't even know why it is fun...I just know it is fun....

To do Burn-outs!

I had a great ride home yesterday...if it weren't for my adult responsibilities I would have just given in to the temptation to just keep riding til I had to stop for some sleep...might have made it as far west as Texas, or north into Indiana, or east into Georgia.

As it was I just took the long route home, and still being pumped when I pulled into the wood floor bike room...

I lit up the rear tire....

hahaha, when Mary came out there she said there is some wood on fire somewhere...yeah, it was a pretty strong smell...but no fire. lol
