So, who rode today?

[sleazy rider]

Let's start the season off right.  

I DID!    45*, sunny and mild on the way in, 65ish on the way home.  75 miles of pure bliss.

[Bender]

I did too....see photo tag.  

477 miles of pure joy.  

That was until I got home, lubed chain and found out NEW chain is tearing itself apart.... it only has 1400 miles on it sence last week.  

[Reddog*]

Put a few on myself.  

[Oddball]

Yep I hit the road for a few.

[matkal]

Still commuting here. low to mid 40's on the way home so far. I'll keep at it 'till it starts getting close to freezing at night.

My new Scorpion Commander jacket helps a lot, very draft proof!  
Much much better than my old Transition jacket, which I took out the armor to wear over my pressure suit for dirt-biking/DSing

White pines s/p
Had to cross some water.


Now i have a taste for some wine. it was off to Massback ridge winery.



After a glass of wine and a sandwitch it was time to ride some of the twisty roads around the area and then south to Savanna IL.

River running a little high.




While i was there this guy came by.

[sleazy rider]

I feel am inflammation of DILLIGAF caused by anal glaucoma coming on.  Tomorrow is supposed to be 75 and sunny.  The tank is full, the tires are good and I know where the new Michigan tag is.

I'll have to get back to you on this riding thing.  

I feel your pain.  Luckily I'm picking up parts tomorrow.  If I'm feeling brave I might even try to put the Ninja back together myself after Miles goes to bed.

Good luck to you with fixing the bike Maggie.  You can do it if you take your time, use an analytical thinking process, and don't worry about left over parts.

Union Pacific 3985 in Gorham, IL (It will be in St Louis tomorrow if anybody cares)

Nice.  Anything significant about the 3985 other than the fact it's still in service?

[bomber]

Not many Mallets in the midwest (two separate sets of drivers that can pivot independently) . . . . .these things were pretty impressive.

[Capirex]

Didn't notice it was a Mallet until you mentioned it.  Why aren't there many in the midwest?  I'd guess they were mainly used for the tighter turns found in the mountainous regions?
Can't be many anywhere anymore.  I'd love to get a ride on one.
