There is something about the high plains of Colorado/Kansas that reminds me of being 600 miles out on the Atlantic in a sailboat.

This was taken obviously this past Fall.
First ride after the Laminar lip install, made a big difference, just what I was after.
Location -Cordell Hull Dam
loud pipes annoy people, well designed helmets save lives.

Took the K with the fiancee up to Country Dairy in New Era. They produce milk, ice cream, cheese, and some awesome pizza





43.8 mpg according to Fuelly over the 155 mile trip. Almost all highway though we had some slow Friday night traffic for a few miles. Pretty much 75 mph up and 70 mph back. I'd say that's not bad.

I need to get around to getting a spray can mixed up and painting the top case to match

Rode up to Orchard Beach State Park, one of my fiancee's favorite places. 134 miles one way, which is the longest trip we've taken together on the bike so far.





Chatted with an oilhead rider at the McDonalds in Manistee...he said he's been interested in getting a K.

Do aerodynamics get better with someone on the pillion? I filled up right before heading out on our trip and Fuelly says we got 46 mpg and we were running 75-78 mph for most of that tank, though we were doing just 60 for a portion of that (but not much). If I were running that speed by myself I'd get like 41.

I'll post in my other "Does your body really get used to it?" ergonomic thread tomorrow but I've used some of the suggestions given and I don't seem to be sore like I have been.

Who knew????
ran across this while riding around Martha's Vineyard, MA.
small town of Chilmark, tiny rural cemetery.
Word has it that body has been relocated to unmarked grave in same cemetery because folks constantly leave "tributes" (AKA trash) on original site.
don't know why JB is resting here but it sure is a peaceful place.

They can't make roads straight...
Straight enough, but then I have a somewhat warped view of things ...

I tried the same to a Northern Ontario snapper.  The bugger attacked me when I tried to move him off the road!  That's gratitude for ya. I just got back on the bike, rode off and let the grumpy b*****d fend for himself.
