we were having a heat wave the temps were in the mid to low 50's so of course I took advantage of this weather and did some soaking up of the sun and worked on my tan........

So, I'm guessing it was above freezing there? Hard to keep the coals lit when it get's that cold...

- May 19, 2014, 22:39:25 PMSeems like you left Kansas at just the right time. The wind gusts were clocked at 48 mph in the Wichita area today. It calmed down to only gusting a little over 30 later in the evening which isn't near as bad so I got a short ride in running some errands. I'm sure some disagree, but 40+ mph takes all the fun out of riding for me so I just don't. Those days one of the other vehicles gets driven. Them temperature was nice when I was out riding though. I think it was just over 80ยบ F when I was riding.

I came back from military training in Kansas and had the chance to go home Saturday for a little while so I dropped the 1500 off to get the www's installed . I'll pick that up once I have a chance . Being I was home , and it was high 70's i mowed the yard packed up the saddlebags and rode MA-DEUCE to Albany ( approximately 130 miles from the house ) to finish up my obligation . sure did feel great to hit the open road , but it's 98% high way riding so not as much fun as Troll had in the video .

- May 18, 2014, 18:26:12 PMOK! It's always nice when the weather guessers are wrong in your favor...Here's a link to a video I took this afternoon. The quality isn't what I'd hoped from Picasa, it's really nice in the original format...BUT..the last time I was up here, 2 weeks ago, there was snow!

- May 18, 2014, 18:20:46 PM Well woke up and the Forecasters were wrong again, for our May long weekend weather, this morning was clear and sunny, might have gotten as high as 60*F around mid day, but I did the lake ride again and this time I really went all out and went the other way......lol........did a spark plug swap yesterday after supper because I have never changed the plugs and so decided to put new ones in and everything worked out just fine.
Next ride take camera and put it in the new trunk.......

It got down into the 30's here, and there were frost warnings. That's just wrong.been like 7 days of rain, thinking of asking people to donate some wood, for my ark..........oh well it is either snow or rain.......

- May 18, 2014, 04:50:04 AMI'm taking a week away starting tomorrow, I plan at least 1000 miles and I know the Drifter is good for it, Starting from my home town in South Wales I will cross the Severn bridge into England and ride to Alton Barnes to see the white horse, this is a large horse carved into the chalk of a hillside, from there I will ride to London and follow the road through Essex to Felixstowe in Suffolk on the east coast of England..Years ago when the USA had a Airforce base in suffolk some people I knew took a weather balloon into Rendlesham forest near the base and draped it with strobe lights and towed it around the forest until some people from the base came to investigate, because the people from the base were very excited and shouting a lot it was easy to keep ahead of them and out of sight, the next morning the local papers were full of reports of UFO sightings and aliens spying on the base..so now there is a UFO trail in the forest, I'm going to visit that UFO trail..From there I will continue to the RAF war memorial at Mundesley, and then on to Baconsthorpe Castle in Norfolk..from there it's on to the Royal palace at Sandringham to look at the ruined church of ST James at Bawsey..and then on to the Kinema in the woods at Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire, finally I will visit the Miz Maze at Wing in Rutland..You can google all these places and this may be all the riding I do until the end of May..or maybe not..
John.
