Motorcycle!

 Grandson Jon. Jan. 19, 2012.  He's on the windy Devil's Lake in Lincoln City, OR.  He's turning into quite the little surfer!

It's nice to know this bike is sitting in Yuma waiting for it's tires to be worn out on Route 66 this coming summer!

This attachment is used in Yuma to clear the streets of sweet smelling Orange blossoms that can be dangerously slick.

Scotty, a park friend, with his "home-made" mini apes on his bicycle.  Across the street is "Helen", Jim & Katies Classic.  That trailer behind the bike is for sale, right across the street from us.  Has 2 tip outs, some remodeling inside, and is very clean.  A good place to spend the Winter!

11 Jan 12.  A 2010 Heritage Softail.  This will eventually replace the Ultra.  I found this at a pretty good price, and since it's been awhile since I've bought a bike, today was the day.

Started out by installing a new "O" Ring chain and higher gear sprocket on Redd's bike.

All done.  New chain and sprocket, adjusted valves and cam chain,  topped off battery water and aired up the tires.  Redd is good for a few months.

Memories of the Cortez VROC rally.  Since Tony D. has the Arizona plate,  I'll probably have to stick with what they give me on this bike.

96 inch engine, 6 speed tranny.  Stage 1 engine kit.  13K miles.  New Metzler tires.  Several options already installed.  There will probably be more soon. :-)  Next week I'll ride it to Kingman and stow it.  Will bring the Ultra back to Yuma and sell it.  Some of you will probably see this one at Maggie Valley and Eureka Springs this season. And Solvang, and who knows where else.

Removed windshield for detailing.  Lookin' good!

Redd came over to help.  He likes to detail, and is good at it!

15 Jan 2012.  Driveway in Kingman.  Ambient air temp is at the lower left. 28 degrees, but waited until it got up to around 40 before I left at 10:30 AM.  One stop at Exit 9 on I-40 for gas, then a straight shot non-stop, 179 miles on to the next gas stop in Yuma.
