Good turnout of bikes at cars and coffee this weekend. Just out of frame is an old (1940s) Indian twin, too.

Looks like a good time Rolls. Your bike looks good in there.

Stopped at the Adlai Stevenson Farm (former Illinois governor and twice Democratic candidate for US President) and made it all the way to the Illinois/Wisconsin border before turning home. Still arranged my return trip to include Sheridan Rd (“My Road”)

Cormanus: I'm now at 4555 miles on the new bike. I have 9,966 total miles for 2017. I need 34 more in December to meet my 2017 resolution. Smile

Tough as nails you are Sea. I have a feeling both your goals are going to be met in the next week.

Thanks, guys. I'll click off those last miles, but probably not this week. Although..... the forecast for Saturday, 12/2, is looking pretty good Smile

It sleeps outside?

We had 62 degrees today and sunny, although a bit windy... great day for a ride.

No...it was dark when I left the office. I liked the lighting so a snapped a pic before riding home.

Glad you got a nice ride in. I only had the commute, but I did make my 1.5 mile commute into a 10 miles commute Smile

RE: Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

They promised us 49F in Ottawa, but 39F was the best they could do. It was 50F in Ogdensburg, NY just after lunch.

During the summer I lost the nylon bag that my long sleeve down filled vest could be stuffed into. While the boss was exploring every aisle in Walmart, I found a Ditty Bag 3-pack for $5. The vest fits easily in the 5x5x10 inch medium, and my rain suit in the 6x6x12 inch large. Great when packing either the tail bag or saddlebags.
