Summer Vacation 2016

[GaTeach]

Starting with 27,517 miles.

(Since 27June2015)

[Patch]

Stay safe...got a goal for the summer miles?

[GaTeach]

Patch-no goals. This is just me. Rollin. Although if I'm within one hundred miles of the next 1000 mark, it's very hard for me to get to the house. Lol

Yesterday afternoon, for instance, I'm 48 miles shy of 28K. Normally, there is no way I would've let that stand. Lol. But I stopped by the house, closed my eyes JUST FOR A MINUTE, and woke up twelve hours later. :)

Btw, with your mileage, we may run into each other in the next couple of months. I'm planning to head through your great state. Stopping in The Woodlands, Round Rock, and Seguin. :)

[Patch]

omgwtfbbq! I do the same thing...If I'm close to ticking a 1K marker, I keep riding. I knew there had to be someone else out there that did this.

I'm in Pflugerville, just an exit or two down from Round Rock. If you are gonna be in the area on a weekend or a day other than end of a month, and you are up for an adventure I'd be happy to join you for a trip out for the three sisters if you're up for an all day event, or if you'd like to explore around the Austin area, there are about 10 really good roads that can be hit in a matter of 6 to 8 hours.

And open to anyone passing through the area...I'd be happy to buy ya lunch or dinner if you're just passing through. There are alot of unique places to get your grub on. Just let me know what yer hunkerin' for.

Were you able to get your Heli bars mounted? If so how do you like them? I can read so I don't need a photo.

[GaTeach]

Plungerville haha. I've thrown down at the Dessau Dance Hall a time or two.

[GaTeach]

Were you able to get your Heli bars mounted?

They're mounted. I've got about a thousand miles on them. They are unreal. I really wasn't expecting this dramatic of a difference. Right side feels great.

But the handling. Omg. I was on an extremely rough road earlier today. The pavement was wavy. Across the lane and down the lane. Lol. Before I would've been bouncing all over the road. No more.

If I am not mistaken the bar at the top that connects the unit together ads some stability to the forks.

[53driver]

Yes, it does provide stability.

Between an added fork brace and that bar, there is very little wiggle room for the handlebars.

Helibars are on my "wish list."
Maybe I can get a "go-fund-me" thing started.....

hahaha good plan brother!

Teach, you are absolutely amazing!

[53driver]

So Teach - what's on the agenda this week?
Let me guess: riding?

Actually, given it's Memorial Day weekend, I reckon you are out with your PGR brethren doing veteran related civic duties.
Good on you.

Still less than one year of ownership.
Shocked, I am.

Hey y'all watch this!!!!

My buddy is a motor officer and also does funeral escorts. He said I could ride it so I jumped on and took off. I was afraid if I hesitated, he'd change his mind.

You see I'm representing USMC, don't you, 53????

[pilotguy299]

hell yeah

This may sound mean, but is really meant as a sincere compliment...

You're one sexy bitch on that motor!

...You see I'm representing USMC, don't you, 53????

Aye. Your left breast says it all!

[GaTeach]

Aye. Your left breast says it all!

The guy representing the VA/GNC was on point yesterday. Truly had his shit in one sock. The way he escorted the widow up the walk....the way he handled the Navy honor guard... His comments to the family at the end of the service....everyone was commenting on how shit hot he was.

He told the widow he was a Vietnam Vet as well and as soon as he said that I thought, "Marine" lol

Sure enough, after the service, we were furling the flags and he asked me if I was a Marine. I said, "No. I just love Marines." He said, "Well, thank you for loving me. Semper Fi." :)))))

What a moving event. You are in with a great bunch there, Teach.
Volunteering to be a part of "motorcycle escort" duty can be (and usually is) very rewarding.
Ride to eat events are great, but you can always eat after the service/ceremony.

Semper Fidelis,

I'm somewhere in West LA. I got to ride from NO almost to Lafayette with Grant and his HD-buddy-who-isn't-a-douchebag. Big huge thanks Grant. I still think we should've set the rabbit free

We had a blast. They ride those Louisiana back roads like his Uncle's the Sheriff. Fun.

Headed toward The Woodlands. :)

That's a nice route. Very pretty around the Thibodaux area. That route is almost the same we took into NOLA the night after Katrina. It took us nearly 7 hours to get from Baton Rouge to KMSY in the dark.

pretty rough around that time. You were military?

[stroguy]

FAA. We went to get communications systems and weather systems restored. 53driver was flying in and we had to be ready. He's very demanding that way. It was scary driving in from the south to NOLA. I worked in NOLA for several years and was familiar with the Thibodaux and Houma and Grand Isle areas. Sad to see what happened down there.

We were staged at PCola, getting to push to Biloxi. Helicopters like "no comms" with tower or anyone else. Damn starch-wing chowderheads mucked it all up.....

[stroguy]

That's too funny!

[GaTeach]

Decatur TX for the night.

I love everything about this state. Especially the way they drive. These SOBs in Texas are strollin.

600 glorious miles today. Perfect riding.

That's awesome teach. You are only a couple hundred miles away from your destination in record time!

[GaTeach]

That's awesome teach. You are only a couple hundred miles away from your destination in record time!

If I'd gone the way you told me I'd have been here on Thirsday. Lol

It's a little easier to pick up 600 miles when there's little traffic, straight smooth roads, and a relative lack of a speed limit.

[GaTeach]

Texas drivers don't play when it comes to the hammer lane.

[stroguy]

You should see us with a pump shotgun.

[53driver]

Where are you now?????

[GaTeach]

Tonight I'm in Monument hanging with a PGR buddy who moved here from ATL

443 miles today on Southern Colorado back roads. I've never seen anything like it

And I passed 32K today

Oh he's talking me up Pikes Peak tomorrow.

So much to tell from this trip. I just haven't stopped long enough

Best. Bike. Ever.

There was a thread recently about strong winds and the F6B. In that thread, someone referred to the F6B as a "sail." I would like to thank whoever came up with that imagery, as it was all I could envision as I sailed through those winds headed up to Pike's Peak

If your going to be that close, less than 100 mi away, up the turnpike, why don't you join us on the NE meet and greet Sunday morning and see the Poconos, Delaware water gap national park +? The weather forecast is for perfect riding conditions, sunny with temps in the low 80's. The details on the ride are under the meet and greet forum. The planed ride should be over by 2:30 giving you plenty of time for lunch and to get back to your evening festivities. In fact one of the group riders is coming up from, Bath, Pa. I'm sure he'll enjoy someone to ride home with. If you have any questions or needs for accommodations for Saturday night etc. send me a PM.

I headed back to Durango, CO on my F6 next Thursday. Can't wait. Some of the most beautiful riding in the country. Great trip Teach.

[GaTeach]

I don't know if I wrote this earlier but Sunday was my biggest day ever. 714.8 miles Across Kansas.

And I got pulled over by KSP. 92/75. He was good to me and sent me off with a warning. SG and I had over 33K on us before seeing blue lights for the first time no complaints

Shooter, shooter, shooter a radar detector cannot ever beat a great smile and a chick on a bike. I was thrown in jail, with my dog, at 2 a.m. in Dunn, N.C. because I was going 30 mph over the speed limit, with an Escort Radar Detector, till the judge/baker/mayor showed up to give me a $225 fine, in the early 80's. I had to follow the HP into town, it was like a slow death, I heard the theme from "Deliverance" going through my brain on the way to the courthouse/pharmacy/ice cream parlor.

Grant (Blueverclear) met me at Dot's Diner in Kenner (HMMOG-stop there if you're in the area). We met up with another riding buddy of his-a super cool HD guy named Gus. (Yes, there are super cool HD guys)

We rode miles of backroads in the bayou at extremely high speeds. Canals on both sides of the road. What a blast. They dropped me off just east of the Atchafalaya Basin.

I had a big time riding with these guys in South Louisiana. In this pic, we are waiting on a swinging bridge. Got around the pickup in a hurry.

Couple of observations:
I thought canals on both sides of the road was kind of scary until Grant explained to me why it wasn't. "Yeah, you get wet. But it's a lot softer than pavement or ground." Lol

I thought Louisiana had a lot of gravel on the roads. They don't. Colorado and Pennsylvania have a lot of gravel on the road.

Everyone in the rest of the country must come dump their trash on the side of the road in LA. What the hell, people?


Grant told his buddy, Gus, to take the lead and kick it. Gus said, "Kick it? What about her?" Grant said, "Don't you worry about her, buddy, she'll keep up." Lol too much fun

Out of order but this is what I looked like when I left. Everything in the bags, including leather jacket, chaps, heated gear, and modular helmet.

I ended up shipping the leather/heated gear to Monument, CO once I got to Mobile and then shipped it home when I left Colorado.

But that's it. A backpack and a small pocketbook.

Shooter, is this the ferry you were on? This is up in Augusta, by Maysville. I went up there to take it but the engine had blown up. Or at least that's what the mail lady told me.

No Teach , that's not one of them. We took two different ferry's , one of them twice. Both directions. I don't know the names. I just follow Trevor. Ohio has reasonable ferry rates. Dollar per wheel. Here in MO they charge $7 per bike. What a rip. I do my best to never give them money.

Goodnight, TX in the panhandle. I stumbled upon this cemetery looking for a quiet place to have a cigar! Mr. Goodnight was considered the father of ranching in the panhandle. Cowboys and ranch hands leave bandanas when they go by to pay their respects. Of course I tied a bandana to the fence!

Grant (Blueverclear) met me at Dot's Diner in Kenner (HMMOG-stop there if you're in the area). We met up with another riding buddy of his-a super cool HD guy named Gus. (Yes, there are super cool HD guys)

We rode miles of backroads in the bayou at extremely high speeds. Canals on both sides of the road. What a blast. They dropped me off just east of the Atchafalaya Basin.

I had a big time riding with these guys in South Louisiana. In this pic, we are waiting on a swinging bridge. Got around the pickup in a hurry.

Couple of observations:
I thought canals on both sides of the road was kind of scary until Grant explained to me why it wasn't. "Yeah, you get wet. But it's a lot softer than pavement or ground." Lol

I thought Louisiana had a lot of gravel on the roads. They don't. Colorado and Pennsylvania have a lot of gravel on the road.

Everyone in the rest of the country must come dump their trash on the side of the road in LA. What the hell, people?


Grant told his buddy, Gus, to take the lead and kick it. Gus said, "Kick it? What about her?" Grant said, "Don't you worry about her, buddy, she'll keep up." Lol too much fun

Yea we had waaay too much fun that day lol it was really great!

They don't play down there in the swamp.

The place is Zams Swamp tours off of LA 307 (Kraemer Bayou Rd). Really cool place on a great road out in the middle of nowhere.

This picture was taken north of Ouray, where I stopped to catch my breath from the Million Dollar Highway.

That road....

Switchbacks, loose gravel, high winds, colossal drop offs RIGHT AT THE WHITE LINE, and stunning vistas.

Just crazy. I was trying like hell to flap my elbows but they were having no part of that. I'm pretty sure all my riding coaches would've been shaking their collective heads in dismay had they seen my performance on this road.

Dang, still haven't gotten all the pix posted from the last trip and I'm headed out again tomorrow. I'm going to Maine! If anyone is in that area and wants to ride, please holler!!!!!

I know that being a southern bell your probably suffering from cool nights and cold mornings up there, but you still have to wash that poor thing!!! I bet if your rear end was that dirty you'd find a bucket of water somewhere.

Out of order, but this is north of Lily Bay State Park, Maine. I was looking for a moose. Unfortunately, it was 81 degrees and according to those people, 81 degrees is "hotter than the gates of hell" and the moose don't come out of the deep woods when it's hotter than the gates of hell.
