I hope I don't look like a fair-weather poser since I pre-declared I'd be caging today.

I launch for my big 4th of July Rustic Road/Kettle Moraine/other parts unknown excursion doing my first bit of motorcycle camping tomorrow after work. That be some serious posin'! Lol

Free bike wash / shower in twenty minutes. Not only that but it looks like the garden is getting a watering.

I got to enjoy the light show on my way home tonight and a FREE bike wash also.  The gear did it's job and kept me totally dry.

I went without the rain gear so with my mesh on I was totally drenched.  However this was not a bad thing, it was warm enough that I found it very refreshing.

I was more worried about the lighting.

it was raining pretty good this morning and my rear tire doesn't inspire confidence on slick surfaces, so i caged it. oh well, i'll be riding this afternoon if it clears up.

Yeah, the ride to work was a good shakedown for the road ahead.  She sits a bit lower and stops a little slower with all the weight on, but it's well-balanced and I had zero load shift under heavy (practice) braking.  I hope to launch around 3:00, but might get held up by a last minute "Let's have a meeting to be @$$holes before a holiday" meeting.

As far as where specifically, It's a no, er OLD-man's land betwixt Grayslake and Round Lake Park.

I should be in the neighborhood of West Bend, WI tonight.
