LeeRaylFilled up this morning and just put another 5 gallons in…. Lots of twisties and 45 MPH but some amazing roads.nothing faster than 55 MPH all day. 200 miles down still have 60 or so more.
Total miles for the day, 251, slow and curvy. Close to 6 hours in the saddle.
All for this picture 🤣
I also took a 20 mile detour to the National Motorboat Lifesaving school at Cape Disappointment. It’s a pretty big deal in the Coast Guard.
Heading home to close out this lil impromptu trip. Great tune up for touring season. Back to putting in miles after the long dark. Is 500 or so miles a decent weekend? For country roads and 50 MPH most of it, seems decent. I find my balance of miles is time in saddle not miles rode. 6-7 hours and between 300-500 miles depending on speed and road conditions.
Home sweet home. No “major” incidents but the girlfriend’s helmet took a tumble and snapped the clip to her headset.
Both bikes are absolutely grimy so tomorrow I will detail both since it’s gonna be close to 80.
It’s awesome to see her grow into riding. She may not like riding at 80 MPH but she holds her own and she says it’s relaxing for her.
We also made a last minute decision to knock out another HOGWASH site, the first drive-in in Washington so the lore goes.
That’s 13 of 36 full stops, I have 11 Westside locations and 2 bonus locations. I think I hit my first Eastside location next Saturday. Don’t think Chinook Pass will be open so over the big hill it is (I-90).
