Jumped on Jet around 10 am and hooked up with my brother on his "new" 1980 1000 LTD ("Blue"). We headed down 125 planing to hit the AK border and then head west back to Branson. Got about 80 miles out and were having so much fun we missed a turn and spun off onto east 76 ending up in Ava MO.

We hate to double back so after a quick lunch we jumped onto 14 back west. Well it tuns out that Hwy 14 out of Ava was built by mystical motorcycle elves, out of magical velcro asphalt that closely resembles 50 grit sandpaper. That coupled with sweeping nicely banked twisties made for a crazy fast and fun ride.

Best wrong turn EVER!

Ended up at 130 miles total. A good bit shorter than planned so time for a stop at B&N for coffee and the new Cafe Racer mag.

The route:

Old Gas station on 14. Wonder if our bikes ever filled up here in there 30 years of life?

I did shoot video. That's coming later.

Ride On!

Man, I can't wait for riding weather. 6 inches of snow and another 3-4 of ice/rain in the forecast for tonight/tomorrow.
