You'd have to see if Matt would be willing to post one... He is the demo'er.

Anyone remember where this is?  

That be Viroqua.

A to the cat herders.
It's easy to be a lemming (that be me!) but those of you who willingly led us lemmings deserve a   and a  

Thanks for a great weekend!!!

Weeeee. It handles like a bike but it turns in quicker. I've never ridden a 2 wheel scooter so I don't know how it compares to that.

Does he qualify for being a squid here????  

[mxvet57]

Does he qualify for being a squid here????  

  why because Matt is riding a piaggio or that he is non ATGAAT.  

[sscully]

Does he qualify for being a squid here????  

Not at all.  No flip-flops, and his glasses are not on his forehead.  Also, helmet is not strapped to the Left passenger grab rail.

I could see this being mistaken for a GL rider, protective baseball hat and all.

Sunday evening I rode the 10 blocks to downtown Boscobel to listen to a band sans gear. But I waited for cover of darkness rather than risk commination.

It's the D.O.T. approved baseball cap.   From the same makers of the D.O.T. do rag.

Actually I think I'm a squid because I was trying to drag my knee with jeans on.

I hope you remembered your mosquito repellant, unless you were listening from indoors somewhere

I want to thank Grnarrowe and better half 4 stopping and staying with Sandy along side of the road Friday night  when I broke down     It was great to meet some more new riders also. We made it back home  with no more problems   And great pictures everyone.

I heard that you did stop by and sorry I missed you     Learned a leason. Pack less stuff , make sure to pack my Bmw Moa Anonymous Book ( it contains bike shops , and members names that have tools , trucks and trailers to help out ) . I will have to keep this bike now a little longer.

Below are a few quick-pics requested from a few STN riders that I post.  These are the more unusual things that I ran across from my STN-R4 adventure.   And no, it isn’t a pic of Kevin “posing” after his visit with the Beaver Dam service dept to fix his GS.  Apparently,  he took it with no lube!     But I digress…let’s get down to business.      

What the F*%$????   Ya, that’s a “poop car” alright.  Made 100% from cow manure.   Saw this as I was fill’n up with petro in Spring Green.   Man…did it stink.  



Ahhhh yes, the proud owner.  



Yah, it sure brings about the gawkers -a double take…



Here I am getting ready to cross the Mississippi on the Cassville Ferry.   I saw several Amish horse & buggies that joined me.  


 
…And here they come!  



This Amish young man was trying to calm the spirit in this restless horsie.   That horse was one eager-beaver when the gate was about to come down.   I stayed well in my corner the whole time making dam sure he didn’t knock me or my bike over.     Horsie was going sideways.     This Amish young man was also very intrigued & watched while I put my gear back on to exit the ferry.  I think he knew I was having a little more fun with “my iron horse“.  



A look on the inside of the buggy.   The buggy is of course DOT approved.    Amish also don’t seem to mind using a few modern convinces such as an Igloo and plastic bags.   Look carefully inside.  



Ahhh the poor ZX-14 feeling a little lonely in a sea of cruisers.  This was taken on top of the bluff in Balltown, Iowa after I crossed with the ferry.  The 14 sure loves C9-Y.   Lunch was “OK” at the only restaurant in Balltown.  



One of the most standout things I ran across (sorry no pics) was a WILD WOLF! No
 shit!  Saw the wolf as I was riding some very isolated backwoods roads.  I caught glimpse of him as I was descending into a deep ravine with heavy foliage near a stream.  I must have startled the timid wolf that appeared to be feeding.  He scuttled off like a demon when he saw me!  I smiled as he left.    

The End.

Nice pics everyone.  Thanks for posting.  I forgot my camera.  

Anyone get a pic of me chasing my brand new helmet as it rolled down the driveway in Rockton?  Ill have to check the Harley boards.  

Nice seeing everyone and meeting some new folks.  

Matt - can you post the pics you took Sunday morning when you went to check out that fence?

FJR  3   BMW  2

[HankB]

That overlook is between Genoa and Stoddard which is south of LaCrosse.

And 3 to 2 is about the best that BMW did, wasn't it? We had up to 4 Beemers at Breakfast in Viroqua but weren't there about a dozen Feejers? I recall about that many Sprint STs in Richland Center. What happened to all of them?

Hmmm, I'm not so sure I wanna let you try out the Burgman for comparison...

No wonder it needs tires at 2500 miles!
