It was now approaching Midnight and the clock on the bike read 23:38 or something. I figured I could get 7 hours of sleep and still ride the last 50 miles or so to make my 09:00 appointments to get the Nav installed. Most of all, I could thaw out! If would be as cold in the morning I figured I...

This screenshot is very important to the next part of the story! Please notice that I am starting east of Indianapolis Indiana. EAST ! This part of Kentucky is about 30 minutes West of where the time zone changes from EST to CST. One might deduce that going geographically North and a little bit...

I had realized that I had put myself in danger not having Navigation so it was more of a safety thing than it was convenient. I knew that the bike used to have Nav before and I wrongfully assumed it was only something you could get from BMW. Little did I know I could get it from Cycle Gear for...

Anyway... On with the show!

Then again, it may be my computer because I am able to post up a different pic

for example...

I appreciate that. The only issue is that the "Insert " text at the upper left of the thumbnail is not displaying nor is the link below for posting multiple

MY apologies! I am not a tech savvy guy. For some reason I no longer seem to be able to insert pictures into my posts like previously. I am posting up on a MacBook. When I upload the picture it just makes a thumbnail which when tapped on opens up to the full pic. Anyone got any ideas how I...

BY now travel had shown me how much I needed a GPS on the bike. I set out to find one and finally located one at Tom Wood Powersports in Indianapolis which was less than 300 miles away. I packed up and hit the road with a plan to get the GPS installed and then roll out to see my family for an...

It was right here at this point that my lifestyle choice was once again solidified. The settlement was not much at all but it would have been enough to get an apartment and to set down roots and start living a "normal" life. While I had friends encouraging me to do so, I simply could not for the...

By this time I had seen the doctors I need to and my attorney had worked out the Work Comp settlement. My hand was as good as it was going to get and it was time to close down this chapter in my life. I was now mid December and I planned on staying in the area so I could celebrate Christmas with...

I was running low on funds again as I had become so accustomed to so I decided to give a friend a call and see what kind of work he might have. So, I was laying tile now while I was in town.

Although it was getting late the weather was good and I decided to just ride the 400 miles I had left to reach my friends house where I would stay while I addressed this medical exam.

About 2 hours out of Texarkana I started hunting some food and a craft beer. I found this place and absolutely LOVED it! A beautiful example of an American Brew Pub. A couple of samples of their beer revealed that I would have a difficult choice if I was to have just one pint. Their beer was...

The sleepless night had me just draggin' the next morning. I got showered ands packed up and before the bike was loaded it was already noon. I was hungry but I just wanted to get Texarkana behind me so I rolled Northeast once again. The I-40 through Amarillo TX sets at about 4000' or so...

One thing I do love about Texas is the fuel prices! Just look at the difference in Premium between Texas....... And Arizona just a couple of days earlier!

I am human like everyone else and sometimes I do get down and I complain about a situation. I don't like to talk down anyone or anything if unprovoked. However, there are times when you just need to share information for the benefit of others. Such is the case for Texarkana KOA Journey. I have a...

I love Gore-Tex and I have it in my boots and hiking clothing etc but when You are riding through torrential rains for hours anything will wet through; even if just by seeping into the collar! I find that overall a removable waterproof liner and layers are the most comfortable overall when you...
