NorthCentral Regional Rally Route 2012
I have been playing catch up on this thread. I have been very busy working sun up to sun down. Needless to say I am very envious of tyhe ride the group has put together for next weekend. As my father has always said when the cold temps start arriving it makes you wonder what you did with your summer wages. So I have been hitting hard trying to prepare for winter. That is the down side of the construction industry. I am sure that everyone will have a good. Please keep me posted. Looking forward to riding with everyone at the NCR in 2012.
Ride Safe.

We gonna have a good time!
I'm putting on a new front tire tomorrow. I sewed up the ripped engine guard cover and they are all glistening with mink oil now. I'll get my "Biscuits N Gravy" decals tomorrow and put them on the bags. My new spot lights work good again. I took the remaining light visors off and may not replace them. I touched up the few scratches I had left. All in all, it all looks and rides pretty good. A few scars if you look hard, but I call it character. Anybody hear from Rayski? He got a change in jobs recently and may not be able to get away for a ride. Are there any others that may want to go? Where's Cal? All are invited!! Wish you could be there too, bluekaw.

Hey all - I have been keeping an eye on this thread to see if it could work out. I could make it down to Prairie Du Chien on Saturday and hang out with you all there, but could only ride as far as back to La Crosse on Sunday.
Have been working every day for last 5 or 6 weeks and the weather forecast for this weekend looks pretty nice, so I'm really hoping to get for at least one full day. Wish you all a good ride, should be a good time. -CB

I know Gibby and I are home. Haven't heard from Dave.
We changed our plans today. The weather was just too unpredictable for the rain, and given the cooler temp we opted to cut-out early. Rather than riding into rain this morning up to LaCrosse, Dave and I headed south. We took a short-leg on 133 through Cassville and stopped briefly in Potosi so I could show him the brewery and restaurant. (It was closed; but wanted him to see it anyway.) Then we rolled-on to Dubuque where we split... Dave headed west to his home, and me east to mine. Gibby headed north to LaCrosse riding in about 45 minutes of rain he said. Glad to hear you made home safe. It was great riding with you again, and man!!!... can you nail those corners!!!

Got home OK
Left Prairie du Chien, WI this morning about 7:30 with Greg Wilson. We dodged rain almost all the way to Dubuque, IA. We split up at Hwy 20, Greg going east and me going west. I pulled into my driveway just about 1:30 pm. Had a good share of sunshine once I was in Iowa.
Thanks to Greg, Gibby, and Stretch, we learned a few things about where to ride and where not to ride. I'm certainly glad we did this scouting trip. Hey, if you ever get a chance, go visit the J&P Store in Anamosa, IA. This motorcycle parts and supply store was VERY interesting with all that chrome and leather to look at. We also had a fun time at the American Pickers store at Le Claire, IA. It's a very small place hidden behind a house. I drove by it twice and missed it both times! Gibby found it on the second pass. I drove about a quarter mile before I realized no one was following me. One of the old motorcycles on display was a 1947 Indian. Once again, my Nomad operated without any flaw. Now I have to go wash it! |

Great to hear everyone made it safely. I hit heavy rain and pea size hail in Dixon, IL. Stopped for about 35 minutes to let it pass.
Can't wait till next summer for the Rally.

Boy... that doesn't sound like too much fun. Hope you didn't get too wet or any hail damage.
I missed most all the rain except for just small quick areas that didn't amount to much. I am real glad we didn't to come home today. It is really wicked out up here. Cold, constant rain and high winds. Has been like that all day. I would have froze to death before making it back!

That weather forecast for sunny 70's sure fell through. Weather is running in reverse right now and coming from the East, sort of like last spring.
Only able to get out for about an hour here but will try again next weekend. Looking forward to making the ride next summer. |
