We got out for a 130 mile ride up through horse country for lunch and some ice cream. Weather was outstanding other than a little windy.

Rode to Dade City, then up through the Ocala National Forest to Palatka for dinner. A ride back through the horse farms of Ocala to the house in the cool evening air. Total of about 270 miles.

Rode out to school, then to the doctor's office, back to school and finally home. Got in about 40 miles today. When I got home, changed the final drive fluid, engine oil and filter.

Beemer is doing well. We usually take that on longer two-up rides for obvious reasons. I do most of my day-to-day on the KawaTanker and all my IBA stuff. Gonna take it on the Cape Fear 1000 Rally on April 20-21.
Still love the KawaTanker but have lust for the beemer ![]()

No ride today but did do some light spring cleaning on the KawaTanker. I'll do a full cleaning after I get back from the Cape Fear Rally.
