Please post up in this section when you can about your adventures too and from SW IX in Deadwood this year so that those who cannot attend this years extravaganza in Deadwood can live vicariously through our travels, trials (hopefully there's none of those) and tribulations, tailgating in the beer tent swapping lies about horsepower/torque/turbos.
Calgaryglide, tourmaster The Outlaw Alien Cowboy Tour 2019
Been working on the bike for the past few days getting ready for SW IX.
Got my bag packed today and loaded up the bike so all I have to do is throw my last minute items in the bike in the morning. I think/hope I have everything I need so if not I'll pick it up on the road.
Have a great trip! When I have seat luggage on my bike I have had to leave the backrest at home because it made me uncomfortable and having the luggage to lean back against was better.
Well I'm not sure what all I have packed in that bag to be honest but it filled up REAL fast.
I have one saddlebag full of stuff I am donating to the raffle and my other saddlebag has rain gear and other stuff in it. And the tour pack has my spare socket & foot in it along with other odds & ends. I have extra gear I have to bring.
Went to HELL (Michigan) but the devil didnt want me[emoji2957] went through a nasty storm before I could get raingear on Wind decides to take my gloves into the mud!!
Made a stop at @jacksprat place in Indiana for some of his coffee.
Mainly highway miles to see family and friends along the way. Another 900 miles then the scenic stuff begins[emoji41]
See y’all Sunday!!
Laundry, Walgreens and Packing tonight along with a few Honey Do items around the crib before I split tomorrow - Have the God Son's Baptism at 2p tomorrow.......Pics, Hugs......I'M OUT.......home to change, jump on the packed bike and meet @BH#103 on the Hwy about 6pm to blast for 4 hours or so to get 250+ miles under our belt (LaCrosse Wisc) to then leave the rest for the Sunday Super Slab (Thru Min and SD) of the remaining 680+ miles to get us into Deadwood about 6p or so Sunday Night.
Looking forward to the daily rides out there, cold beers at the end of those rides and many laughs to be had
Fresh fluids in the bike, Air pressure checked and bags packed.. Will be rolling out of here in the A.M. after I get out of work and have breakfast.. Ride Safe All!!
@BH103 I think this is your first SW? Keep an eye on SE! AND HAVE FUN! Now I'm officially envious after looking at the pics, etc.; but seriously happy for all of y'all !
Man, wish I could have made it. Deadwood is a ride I wanted to do BEFORE Sharkweek was announced, and I had my sights set on it. Hopefully I can catch a future one. You guys would probably get me into too much trouble though.
Day 2 was another fine morning, stopped and took in the view looking back where we came from.
The afternoon riding was filled by dodging T-storms, very cool when the road turns the way you need it to go, we still received a few drips before checking in for the night.
We had stopped at a Point of Interest, it's about a ditch!
Ya gotta admit, that’s one VERY COOL DITCH !! :laugh::laugh::wink: Have fun CS !
