About 6:30 a.m. Sunday morning I decided to take a ride. I did'nt know where to go so I just took off, after a few rights and lefts I ended up in Edwardsville, Illinois. There was'nt much going on there but it was nice not having to worry about to much traffic. After a quick ride through town I ended up making a trip through the country. The corn is getting tall and heat is taking it's toll on the country roads (alot of loose gravel is spread on them) so I had to be more alert than in town around what little traffic I did see. I was only gone about one hour but it felt good. I would have gone for a longer ride but i was not dressed for the occasion(shorts t shirt tennis shoes and a baseball hat, you know safety first)
All this did was make me want to take a road trip, maybe this fall when the weather cools down it will happen. You ready Dennis??

Dont forget about me, Johnboy!! If you and Dennis plan a road trip this fall let me know a week in advance and I'll go too! Hell, I would have went with you this morning if you would have called me at 2am and let me know, (it takes me 3 hours to get to your place ;D) ...but really, plan a road trip and count me in  |

The big red machine is down for the count and awaiting it's appointment at Denny's Speed & Performance in Chamois. He's getting caught up on some jobs before I can get in there for my super tune.
