300 miles today

**Cajunrider** · 02-08-2010, 11:31 PM

The weather was nice enough for Darlene and I to take a 300 mile round trip to central Louisiana. My hometown of Ville Platte has some of the best meat markets in the South. Picked up some smoked pork sausage and boudin and headed back home. Left home at 11 this morning and returned at 5 pm. Kind of cool but we wore the leathers. In case any of you are interested, Fox Creek is running their semi-perforated leather vests for $137 with free shipping. Mine arrived Friday and is it ever nice. Bufallo nickel snaps and superb quality leather. Two large perforated leather panels in front and a large perforated section on the back. Should be almost comfortable in the warmer months. Fox Creek is pricey but as it's been said here before "You get what you pay for".

Sounds like a nice ride. I have been through Ville Platte a couple of times.

Wow that sounds nice. I went out to remove ice dams from my gutters & while doing that I opened the garage door up and fired up the Nomad. It did exactly what I thought it would - start right up on first hit. It has been atmleast 4 weeks since I started it up last. I do not have it on a tender either. If the snow was not blocking the door way I would have at least rode around the block. Oh well maybe a couple more weeks.
