Fort Lewis 2024 Out Day 1
This adventure took place on 'Thursday August 8th, 2024'
This is my solo ride to join up with Wayne and Jackie at Fort Lewis Lodge, which has become a tradition for Jackie's birthday. Once out there, I'll switch over to the group adventure Fort Lewis 2024. This will be the first longish trip on the Blue Oil Burner since putting it back together. I've put it through its paces and all seems well, but I am still a bit apprehensive about potential mechanical failures. The plan is to divide what would normally be an easy day ride into two days in large part because those muscles around my shoulderblades continue to plague me by locking up. When this happens it's beyond painful. There is also a major rain system moving in, so this will be a very wet ride.
Winchester to Huntington
This adventure took place on 'Wednesday August 14th, 2024'
Shoulder and back muscles continue to plague me. The 319 mile ride took it out of me even despite many significant breaks.

First Proper Test Ride of the Oil Burner
Scheduled to Start on: 'Sunday July 30th, 2023 13:30'
This is an invitation only adventure.
On July 29th, 2023, I bolted on the final pieces so now the Oil Burner is whole once again. The plan is simply to stay relatively local and put the bike through it's paces. It worked well on the four mile test loop but we did sync the throttle bodies and adjust the CO, so I don't know if we made some mistake there. So the idea is to be conservative and see how it does. If it does well maybe we'll head further afield.
Random Sunday Avoid the Rain Ride North and East
This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 16th, 2018'
We've gotten Duncan's K1300S back together. The front wheel is straightened and the wheel bearings have been replaced. We mounted new Pilot Road 5's on it. So the thought is to go for a little ride heading out into an area we have not explored to the North and East of Baltimore.
Little Saturday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday August 25th, 2018'
This is an abbreviated ad-hoc street ride just to get out on the bikes for a while before we have to go to Duncan's mom's birthday dinner. I'm not yet sure where we'll go.
Wellsboro, PA BMW RA Rally Ride
This adventure took place on 'Thursday July 19th, 2018'
I've decided to head up to the BMW RA Rally near Wellboro, PA to hopefully meet a number of people I've been corresponding with on Facebook for some time. Originally this was going to finally be the time I met Gary Weaver. :( Sadly, that can now never happen.
Random straight and slab ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday July 14th, 2018'
After too much twistiness, I'm craving some gawdawful superslab. Duncan wants to go ride the section of I95 that's about to get shut down once the I95 project is completed this fall. From there maybe a waterfall or two.
A Ride into the Serious Heat
This adventure took place on 'Sunday July 1st, 2018'
Heat advisories all over the place. We're going to head out looking for cooler climes to the South.
Philadelphia Dinner Ride
This adventure took place on 'Thursday June 28th, 2018'
I got invited to a motorcycle dinner in Philadelphia with Lance Lau, Tom Cutter, and others. I met Lance at the New York International Motorcycle show and I haven't seen Tom in way too long. Instead of just heading up I95, I figure I'll take the long way and see if I can't make a more pleasant ride out of it. I plan to stop by Revzilla if I make it up there early enough. I need to get a new pair of ADV gloves.
Cool Weather Sunday Day Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday April 29th, 2018'
The original plan was to ride the DR's up to Michaux but it's a bit chilly so we've opted to take the street bikes. The thought is to head down to Route 33 and then loop back up through Rough Run Road (an MTSweger suggestion). We haven't been on 33 in a few years.
