I just got the bike out of the shop! I've added heated HANDLEBAR inserts (not heated grips), which work great! I also added a cruise-mate lever, so I don't have to mess with that stupid wheel thingey which is standard on the bike.

I also bought Gerbing heated jacket liner and glove liners.

AND, added a mud flap to the ...

For those of you who haven't heard yet, I am going back to Mexico for a week in December. Rather than staying in Irapuato, I will be staying with two missionaries in Leon. I'll visit with them and their friends for most of the time, however I will head to Irapuato for a day or two to visit my friends there as well!

This is such a great opportunity. I've really missed so many of these wonderful people, and so decided it would be great to ...

... hebben pech. Ook die nummers worden 1 voor 1 doorgelaten, dus kunnen als ze willen nog op een best goede plek terecht komen, maar als je niet zeker bent van een plaats vooraan in het gedeelte direct achter de pit (gescheiden door een looppad voor security, afgebakend door hekken), kiezen de meeste mensen ervoor om weg te gaan. Naar een pre party bijvoorbeeld. Echter: ik haalde de pit - uiteindelijk stond ik zo'n 5 tot 10 rijden diep. Wel steeds net 1 rij te ...

If all such playlists turn out to be so lovingly crafted and so perfectly geared for long stretches on the road then we're set...tooo bad I'm not quite the same level of playlist master...

The end of Day 1 found us in Cleveland, which was accommodating, although I ...

I took a trip to the Iron Pony Motorcycle Accessories store in Westerville, Ohio (shameless plug for store inserted here!), where they absolutely EVERYTHING imaginable for a bike rider.

I spent way too much but got new Harley cycle boots, Gerbing heated jacket liner and glove liners. LOVE the heated gear ...

... and Roll Hall of Fame. The first day I spent in Bedford, and then settled myself in my hotel in Independence, just south of Cleveland.

Dinner was at Tom Evans, a place I had seen the commercials for, but with none in Canada, had never been too...YUM - Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits!

When the thought of travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in winter comes to mind it is usually accompanied by mental visions of a frozen tundra with little to do except to huddle around a fire until spring. In fact, the only limitations of entertaining activities in Pittsburgh during winter are self-imposed by those individuals who like to be bored and complain. Pittsburgh is a ...

... Texas is home to nearly 2 million people in it's metropolitan area, including a number of military bases. Through the heart of the city runs the San Antonio River, and offers many ...

... League World Series is played. It is very impressive. The kids went down to the field and got upclose with the statue. They may now be high school graduates, but as you can see they are still the same kids that used to play little league together. Here they are in front of the field. We always knew that they would get to this field. Who cares if it is 6 ...

... National Park and ended at the Hale Farm and Village, where 19th century buildings from the region have been relocated to create an historic village. The visitors enjoyed a barbeque lunch and then strolled the grounds and buildings to view furnishings, demonstrations of period crafts, and first person interpretations depicting life as it was in mid-19th century Ohio. Of special interest was a safe once owned by the Prophet Joseph Smith, founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of ...
