I was just going to start a post on this. Let's roll!

I will be at Myrtle Beach Bike rally with an Ocean front room from May 15 - 21, Ocean Front at Jeep Week in Daytona Florida for April 24 - 29 August 15 to August Sunday August 20 in Blairsville GA And any others I can find to ride to if Don has a Maintenance Day in Ohio

Hmm, accidents are not preventable, by definition. If they were, we wouldn't have a word for them, it seems to me. Accidents, however are avoidable. To avoid motorcycle accidents, one must just simply avoid riding a motorcycle. This is why I stopped riding after my son was born...to avoid having a motorcycle accident. I finally accepted that God has a plan for me, my life and eventually how it ends. If my life ends on a motorcycle, I will take it as a sign God really loves me and his plan was to end my life and bring me home while doing something I really enjoy. A massive heart attack while having sex with my wife would be fine too....

Kris has been transferred to the VA Louis Stokes Medical Center in Cleveland for her acute rehabilitation program. She will be undergoing another open heart surgery to reconstruct her aortal artery in a few weeks. Her recovery thus far from 3 weeks of medically induced coma on life support is nothing short of miraculous. She is now able to get up and down from bed and chairs with out aid and walk with a walker. Always supervised, of course. Two weeks ago she could just barely move herself around a bit in bed. Thank you all again for the prayers and support.

Never ride faster than your Guardian Angel can Fly.

Awesome! Will have to check that out the next time I go through that area. There's another excellent motorcycle museum in St. Francis, KS (northwest corner). I've had so many people (who have apparently never been) tell me that Kansas is flat and boring. I love riding through Kansas. Lots of interesting places to visit and lot's of history there. Just visited Fort Scott on my last ride. Very cool historical little town (pre-western expansion military outpost, civil war & post civil war railroad expansion) that also has a beautiful National Cemetery to pay respects to our bravest. Hiway 36 across the northern portion of the state is the original pony express route where you'll find a marker for the geographical center of the contiguous states. Dodge City is a neat town with some cool history for where the cattle drives ended, back in the day. Yes, western KS is flat, and I've ridden/driven across it at least 1/2 dozen times. I don't personally find it boring at all, the great plains are beautiful in their own way, IMHO. One observation I made a few years ago on hiway 70, there are fence posts, made from solid chunks of stone. I was on my Venture, following my wife & son in their car. They were zoned out driving and didn't notice them. As always, my eyes are scanning back & forth, which is why I noticed them. The reason they caught my interest is because there are no trees around as far as one can see, so whoever built that fence used what the land had to offer. I had to wonder how long those stone posts have been there. Weird stuff like that catches my eye and entertains my brain on long rides...
