going back in time
Ahoy - well we decided that there are 5 reasons to like rain - #5 you get to put on your foul weather gear - this counts as a new outfit, #4 you now have room in your saddle bag (that's where the foul weather gear goes) for all sorts of jewelry, #3 you stop more often to clear your glasses and get a cup of coffee, #2 instead of going to Cincinnati you stop at Wilmington, #1 you meet the coolest new friends at Damons bar and grill. Cheers to Scott, Betsy, Carlos, Bubbles, Eric, and Cricket - hopefully we will see you on the way back!!!! Well we had a wonderful long ride through Ohio, Indiana, and are now in Salem Illinois. It is on Rt 50 and I-57 in south central IL. Rt 50 was so beautiful that we actually rode 350 miles today - yes the butts are starting to whimper a bit. It meandered through farms, state forests, sunflower fields and women in pink curlers going to mail boxes HA!!! Tomorrow if the weather cooperates we could be on Rt 66. WOW = an interesting fact - Sir Paul McCartney and his lastest bimbo - oops I mean babe, did Rt 66 for his 66th Birthday. Bet ya he wasn't cool enough to do it on a Harley!!!! Oh yes by the way we are officially in another time zone!!! only 1,650 miles to go!! (as the crow flies) So till tomorrow, or the next time I can find wi-fi, happy trails, keep smiling, and enjoy the weekend. Flame and Big Dog

When life gives you lemons...get some vodka!
350 miles a day is still blowing my mind! Gve me some kind of an idea how the typical day goes. Get up, shit, shower, shave and/or shampoo, breakfast, coffee, hit the road...etc. How long before a break? Lunch? Pee? I want all the details. I put 175 miles on the bike today and I'm ready for the hot tub. And it took me 6 hours! At that rate, I'd have to log 12 hours a day!!! What's your secret? Is there a time warp, or something out there in the midwest?

Hey guys it was great hanging with you and learning about your trip. Hope everything is going well. We really enjoyed getting to know you and hope on your way back you will look us up.
P.S. Remember to use salt on the napkin !
Be careful.
