Gene's daughters' Burgman died on the way back from lunch. Right now Mitch has gone back to McAlester to retrieve the scooter with his trailer and Gene took off for home outside of OKC to get his truck and trailer to haul the scooter home. Gene expects to be back in Antlers around 11:00 tonight. Trip left early this morning, I think he skipped out in the middle of the night or something. It would have been nice to tell him goodbye.

No, we had a good time, the last two days turned cold, that's all. Nothing anybody can do about that. They weren't predicting this cold front before I left AZ on Monday. The SCR group are great folks and they treated me well. Vic throws one hell of a bash!
I'm leaving in the morning, heading north towards OKC then west to Amarillo for the night.

I left Antlers about 07:45 this morning. The sun was out and it was warmer than Saturday. I had sunshine for about 35 miles until I hit Atoka, where I caught a light rain and the sky was cloudy for 422 miles to Amarillo. The temp on my bike never read above 35 or so all the way. Even with thick leather chaps and 3 jackets I was still shivering.
I stopped at Fort Thunder HD in Moore, OK (just south of OKC) and was looking at their gloves. The ones I had with me are fine for Phoenix, but weren't getting the job done today. They had a really nice pair of HD gauntlets with Gore-Tex, but I couldn't bring myself to shell out $105 for gloves I probably wouldn't need after this trip. 50 miles later, I wished I had bought them. Tomorrow looks better, should be less clouds and more sun. I sure hope so. I only have to ride 355 miles to Socorro NM tomorrow. Update: Just walked out to get something from the bike and the sky is clearing and there is some sun!

This morning I took Electra to her first international trip and rode to WA. To beat the traffic at the border, I left around 7 and thermometer indicated low 40 until around 10AM. It was cold, especially on the freeway. After 12, I took off my fleece jacket and enjoyed the sunny and warm afternoon. Good luck with the temps. |

Yes, I know, but I was at the HD store and didn't have time to go shopping. It was looking like the clouds were going to dump on me, so I was in a hurry.

One thing I thought was interesting...as I entered the HD dealer there was a big sign as you walk into the showroom, it said something to the effect of "it is illegal to discuss the sale, barter, or trade of or negotiate pricing on motor vehicles in the state of Oklahoma on Sunday..."
So the motorclothes and parts departments were open, but there were no motorcycle sales people there.
