Two Sportsters in the Hot Sun

Not a great photo. Tried to get the stacks in the background. We were hot and parked our Sportsters in the road. Why not there was no other traffic – surprising on a Friday night. Took a couple of wrong turns and ended up having to do the dreaded u turn dance. U turns have never been my favorite thing to do on a motorcycle. When I was in my teens they were a lot easier. We came across a sign that threatened govermental repercussions if we proceeded further. After all the reports of security jerks we decided to turn around. Trouble was we were on a hill, headed upwards and the road was narrow. Such fun!

I picked my windshield up this afternoon after having it cut down. It was just to high. I found this out – I know, I know – this should be the duh factor – anyway, I remembered why having too tall of a windshield is a bad thing when riding back from Marysville the other night. After the suicidal bugs coated the darn thing I could not see over the top of it, I could not see through it, so I had a interesting ride home. I stopped a couple of times and washed the bugs off and darn if more just volunteered to take their places LOL. I was glad that I took the time to figure out how much to have removed. No helmet buffetting and yippee I can see over the top of it.

A nice breeze/wind came up and started cooling down the world a bit. We explored some new country roads, honked at a few cows and llamas and headed home. A nice 100 miles later the bike is parked in the back patio, Catfish and Annie are mooching steak, and I, Kmilyun, am ready to go to sleep.

  1. I will show my ignorance and ask which one is the backlite one LOL. I have never figured out how to take a shot towards the sun especially with the little pentax.

    I can sort of do it with the sony but it is a trial and error type deal with me.

    Your picture through the bottle was great. I am not that creative so I am sticking to I was here shots.
