    Awesome pictures, Marc, and thanks. Can't believe the quality of the pictures with an i-phone. I might, just might have to get me one of those LOL.

    Thought I'd mention I turned 70 today and I'm going out for a morning birthday ride. Later in the day, after work, I'm heading out for Dinky's Dungeon, a biker watering hole, to celebrate. Yahoo!

    Dinky's Dungeon nearly did me in LOL. But I got home safe and just in time to watch the World Series with Mac the Wife. It was a cold ride home. We had popcorn and - yup, more beers.

    Oh, my head this morning . . . ;).

    I just finished the Fall Colors and Covered Bridge ride and man did it rain. It just dumped on us but we still had 30 some bikes. The temp got up to 58.
    Them Dunlop tires are great and worked excellent on the wet roads, can't ask for a better tire. Don't tell cardboard though. They didn't work well on the covered bridge wet wood, now that stuff is slick. Rain cleared up after the first half and no more rain after that. Ride ended up good, food was excellent and love those covered bridges.

    Thanks, BI. I remember that day! My throwout bearing pushrod went bonkers. On the way home I made a roadside adjustment, once I figured out what the problem was, and was able to shift once again.

    Nice pics, FLHT. Rain just makes the ride that much more memorable.

    Would that make me 50? I'll take it LOL. Dang, boys, the weather here has been nice the past couple of days, making it into the low 70s. I think a morning ride to Hardees for coffee & camaraderie is in order - sun's not even up yet and it's already over 50 degrees. Unusual . . .

    Yep 50 is good heck I'm now 40. Yep, the weather up here is coming from your 'hood. We're getting to the mid 60 s today and tomorrow the the bottom drops out this weekend. I'm going gushing in a minute or two. First time since surgeries. Maybe I ll get rewarded with a nice striper

    And I think we sent you home with one of momma's cakes too.


    I would have happily come and got you my truck and trailer but like you said you straightened it out.

    BI those last two pics in the rain were taken with Maddogs IPad that he carries around with him. Your 70, what are you still doing working.

    Wife and I are going to ride towards the coast to a large Indian casino to celebrate our 20th anniversary today. Supposed to get up to 58 today and it's still sunny out.

    Happy birthday Josh

    Why do I work at 70? They need me at the school - I teach two subjects for the price of one LOL. Also there's a little thing like: I need the money.

    Have a great anniversary ride and I hope you win lotsa $$$ at the casino!
