Stage Two

Not much to report for today, just a long day of riding, so I'll do a quick summary and then try to post the pics taken to date.

Up, showered, fed (thanks again Paul & Bettina!) and on the road at 7:30. Paul led us to the highway we wanted and off we went. We picked up 90 and hammered the throttles hard. I love riding out this way! Everyone speeds like crazy! Speed limits varied from 70 down to 55, but everyone drives at least 20 mph over the posted limit. We only saw 2 staties so far and neither of them gave us any trouble. Oh wait, we did see a pack of 4 of them, but that was at a rollover accident (car was on it's side in the median), but the driver seemed not too seriously hurt, which was good.

Anywho, there was a ton of traffic through Chicago and also we hit many areas of road work, which also did nothing for us. At the end of the day, we'd logged 13.5 hours on the road, but only just under 800 miles. Oh well, we got as far as we wanted to for today, leaving about 400 miles for tomorrow before we arrive in Sturgis and the real fun can begin.

That about wraps things up for today. On to the pics!!

Dammit!! The connection here is too poor to load pics. Each time I try, it times out. Stupid Frickfrackennaggle internet!!!!!

Anyway, Zig needs to use the PC and I need another beer...er...I need to take a shower. So if I'm feeling particularly ambitious tomorrow morning, I'll try posting pics then. But for now; "I'm out Jerry". (Hey, it's 11:30 right now and we've been hammering the throttles since 7:30 this morning. A little compassion please?)

Tomorrow? STURGIS!!

Til next time;
Ride Hard, Take Chances

Hey... WTF is this "before we arrive in Sturgis and the real fun can begin". I thought the "REAL FUN" was paddling down the river!!! JK
