We picked up almost an inch of rain Sunday here in southern Illinois.
Looks like it will stay south us today as it moves east.

Yep, we got dumped on yesterday. Got a bunch of little stuff done inside.
One thing was-
I've been testing an LED headlight bulb...brighter than the one I've been running in all my bikes for years.
Had to pull it out. It was definitely brighter, but the pattern was not good. I was regularly getting hi-beam flashes from oncoming traffic, even when I was on lo-beam.
Getting ready to put the tried & tested LED bulb back in.
I always use some dielectric grease on all electrical connections.

Been a crazy few days, and more to come. But tonight is Beale Street again.
Gonna take a few hours of riding and relaxing before the insane schedule I have tomorrow thru Sunday!
Doing the post I just did on The Dragon, combined with this weeks hectic schedule....
...They remind me of this ride we took thru the Dragon-

Went for a little 175 mile jaunt today - stopped for a pic of ND's latest crop that's popping up everywhere:
Thanx. Shot that with my S3 cell phone. $10K worth of camera equipment and where is it when I need it? At home, of course...
Heading for the Harley Davidson Museum tomorrow and spending Saturday at the Road America road track for the Vintage Motofest at Elkhart Lake WI.
Vintage motorcycles on display and racing on the track.
Should be an interesting weekend.

I took off of work at 9 a.m. my wife was ready to roll when I got there. We took a ride to Lake Michigan, was a beautiful day for a ride then we spent some time walking along the Lake. Perfect day!!! This is the Cordwalk that leads to the Lake from the parking area.

I think I averaged 47 mph...maybe got up to 65 or 70 a few times. Most of the curves were at the speed limit x 1.5 to x 2. It can be done much faster on a TG or FW. It was the end of a long day and I thought it was a practice run for the next day...but the next day, there was a few LEO's scattered about, so I took it closer to the speed limit.
Very cool!
That should be a lot of fun!
Making memories...priceless!

It's been a crazy busy week...and it's not over yet!
Here are a few pics from this last Wednesday night on Beale Street.
Parked the TG right across from our table.
A look up the street as it is beginning to fill up-
Saw a few Customers bikes. This Softail is putting out 121 ft. lbs. of torque, if I remember correctly. The gal that rides it has quite a helmet.
An old Triumph chop-

Yesterday was spent installing some parts for testing....
Then 4 hours of riding testing out the parts, and recording data.
Today I should clean the bikes...all 3 are dirty...but I can guarantee you I'm not going to be doing that. lol
Now if there were a bike wash going on nearby...
...all 3 of them might be clean today.
As it is, I will probably spend the rest of the day getting some work done so that next week is a tad less hectic.

Wow! It was 83 and humid at 7:45 am when I rode in this morning.
Even more humid and in the 90's right now. Might cool down a bit before the ride home.
It wasn't that long ago that I was feeling like this...hahaha

First thing this morning Mary and I had to run into town for an annual physical and blood test. Not having eaten for 14 hours, Mary and I took her truck.
Very different seeing the road from a cage instead of a bike.
As is typical for Memphis rush hour traffic, we saw two different accidents where tailgaters had run into the car in front of them, slowing traffic to a crawl to get around them.
Here's what the doctor recommended...

Beartooth Pass last year about this time. Was a 5000mi ride that a couple of buddies and I were on. Went through Red Lodge, Mont, were told that if we had been a couple weeks earlier. We won't be able to go through because of the snow.
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!
