Total: 7 hours.......
Out by 9:15. Tons of twisty roads today, what a hoot!
Off to Mount Rushmore.
Ya, you try and pull out your camera with gloves on and take a photo while riding through holes in mountains
As we got closer, we pulled over and I had no idea why...... until I turned around
The Gates.
We all made it this far...................
Just another quite beer stop
OK, here is an Epic moment for me.
The roads were so twisty that following the harley train was getting boring. The boys rode a head and I waited for 5 min's till a car started to come up behind me. I took off with a sense of urgency for speed.........Great fun for a bit and then I see a "SLOW TO 10MPH" sign...........................
.................. Hanging off the right side of the bike as far as I could I slid into the wrong lane!!!!!!!!!!!! You can not get away with this error this week!!!!!!! To many cars!!!!!!!To Many Bikes!!!!!!!!!!! My BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So,........ Jerry and Howard had stopped just around this corner to wait for me with cameras at the ready. Little did they know they would see me skiiiiiiiiid into the outside lane sideways, gather up all the poo in my hands and then scoot out of the way of the oncoming VAN!!!!!!!!!
1st photo is a wide ange just as I was gathering up 450 lbs of sideways slide.
2nd photo is a bit cropped to see how close it was.
3rd photo is 1.2 seconds later as I made it through with all my limbs still intact
As I pulled over, I heard a guy on a bike behind me saying "Dead man riding a bike".........
That comment sunk in and it never happened again. Even old guys can learn
Life is good to me...what can I say
