Sometimes you just gotta go.
A shop has been working on my Harley for months and suddenly they called and it was ready. And a friend called and wanted to meet in Sturgis. And then another friend wanted a ride to Estes Park from LA. And that was on the way to meet the guys, so why not. And now I'm in Colorado having just ridden through a beautiful and alien landscape in Escalante, Utah and Capital Reef NP and blasting on up the highway to Sturgis. If you see me, just be kind and remember that loud pipes save lives. And I'll be in touch with every one of you who is doing an analysis shortly after Aug 11!
Until then, I'm cloud hidden, far away.
