Walleyehooker Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Anyone been riding in between the rain? I just got back from a month in California but unfortunately didn't have the bike out there. Way to much traffic out there in a lot of places but not one drop of rain. Looking forward to take a nice ride up north soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Did a 300 miler yesterday, St. Paul to Duluth and back. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANOPY SAM Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Seems to me, I can't catch a break. Can't ride in the cold wet weather, and on those rare nice days we've had I'm racing around the farm trying to catch up on chores I also couldn't do on those cold wet days!I haven't been on my bike for over a month.

upnorth Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Took a ride on the 4th. About a 60 mile spin, 15 miles from home started to pour. Still nice to get it out a bit. Only the 3 ride this year. Weather and time have been the main issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoaru99 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 A bit here an there. Have maybe only 500-600 mi on so far this year. Going on a short (~120mi) run with the crew tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidd Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Just got back from a 600 miler earlier this week. St. Paul to Illgen Illgen to Grand Rapids via Ely (Hwy 1 is in great shape, new tar everywhere)Grand Rapids back to St Paul.Don't know how I managed it but stayed dry the whole way. Seemed it either rained just prior to me getting somewhere or just after I left.Can't wait for the leaves to start changing, doing it all again.

Walleyehooker Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Rode from Elk River to Hibbing to Lake of the woods and back. Some of the best roads are in northern MN. Hwy 1,Scenic Hwy 38 and 72 are smooth and very little traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNBIGDOG Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I did a 700 mile ride from the iron range, to the twin cities. I stayed with some friends and went to the state fair. Afterwards went to Ellsworth wisconsin and picked up some cheese curds. Stayed on wisconsin roads up to superior then back to the iron range. About 6-700 miles. I have since moved to lower Michigan. Haven't rode it other than to roll it out of the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleyehooker Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Looks like riding time is dwindling fast. Went down to the local HD dealer today and signed up for winter storage and spent another 1500 on parts and service to be done over the winter. Set of Vance and hines big shots , race tuner and dyno time. Going to sound good in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WH, why can't you store the bike right where the snowmobile is since that will be coming out soon anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleyehooker Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have room to store it here but they almost store it for free if you have them do work on your bike over the winter. They also gave me a nice discount on the parts and labor as they want some winter work. Cant beat that deal. Headed up north this weekend to swap out some of my summer toys for my winter toys that I store at my place up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABS4ME Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 put 477 miles on friday and Saturday. Great riding both days! Rode up to Hayward for lunch on Friday and looped back to the east and south then west to the cities... Saturday was est to Mondovi, south to Alma and then up river to Red Wing. fall colors in spots were fantastic! This is the time of the year I like to pile the miles on! Looks like mid week this week and next will be favorable for a little hookie!Good Luck!Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
