Nice first leg

Leaving before 0700 the first leg was a nice backgrounds route to Port Author TX, 125 miles was a good start. After a quick coffee and fill up I'll be on the east bound side of I-10. The WX is fantastic, could not ask for a better first day.

Underway before 0700, headed for Atlanta, GA.

24 Hour Stand Down

In an effort to perfect the art of preparing for long motorcycle trip, iv delayed my departure until early Thursday morning.
There was a nasty storm cell sitting over the northeast, this would have most likely given me a full day of riding in the rain. If my calculations (weather bug and a calendar) are correct I should have little to no rain.
It was also nice to have an extra day to test the bike, bring her up to speed. The addition of bungee straps to my seat cover are working nicely, thanks mom. It's hard to want to leave this 85 degree weather, I think I'll manage though.

The Forgotten One

Waking up to a 75 degree day at 0730 while having one of your favorite motorcycles waiting for you is a great feeling. Could not ask for a better day to prep the Tiger for her trip home. Barring some unforeseen issue with her after a few test runs and tlc I should be heading north east within 24hrs.

Underway Making Way

Flying to Texas to get the neglected child. Found a British pub to keep me busy during a layover, but no Boddingtons on Draught! The Curry chips better be amazing. Tomorrow will be a day of visiting the family and prepping Leia (the tiger) for her trip north. Reports of snow in PA are not promising, iv increased my tolerance to cold this winter however.

Ride to Brother Neihart's Lakeside Retreat

After regrouping at Morrison Lodge in Northwood, we headed to Tough
Times (5 min down the road) to congratulate Brother Bartoszak into the
Scythe of Time. From there Sean, Jr, Hagman and I headed to John's
Lake house in Northwood. The weather finally warmed up for the last
short leg and it could not have been better timing, Sitting outside
enjoying a few beers was a perfect summation to a great day of riding!
John and his wife were excellent hosts and we look forward to visiting
again soon.

Shortcut home

Due to a few cold riders we opted for the more direct route home. I
think everyone was surprised to find out that Goody Cole's is only 20
min from Northwood lodge.
