100 Days Strong

Can you believe that yesterday was Day 100 on the bike? Really? Already? In that short time I've racked up the following stats: 23,000 miles, 23 states, 185 Harley dealerships, 19 50 Rides 1 Nation, 3 10 Rides for 2021, 35 Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas stops, 5 HOG rallies, 1 ER visit for a broken foot/sprained ankle, 1 embarrassing u-turn fall over, 4 tires, 4 5,000-mile services, 1 flat tire, 2 oceans, dozens of hugs from old friends, and many new friends. Will the next 100 days be even better? Here's hoping so🤞!!

After leaving Chesapeake Harley yesterday, I cut into Pennsylvania again before finally making it to my hotel in Milford, Delaware. A dump, but only 20 miles from where I had to be this morning.... On a ferry!

This morning I crossed the Delaware Bay from Lewes, Delaware, to Cape May, New Jersey 😁. In Cape May, I got NJ's 50 Rides at the lighthouse.

On the ferry, I met a cool guy, Mike, the only other motorcycle, riding a 1995 (?) Road King all chromed out. He owns a restaurant in DE that's closed on Mondays, so he was going to see his 15-year-old son play a playoff baseball game. Hope he wins.

I've hit two HDs in NJ so far, but with a heat index of 107°F, I needed a break from the sun and boiling tarmac. The road is so hot and soft that I keep thinking I have a flat rear tire. Please, not that again.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️

Day 100 mileage: 407.0 (total 23220.5)
HD Dealership Challenge: 5 (total 187)
50 Rides, 1 Nation: 2 (total 20)

P.S.: As I'm eating lunch, one waitress is teaching another how to tell analog time. The girl thought a quarter of an hour was 25 minutes. Glad I didn't have to go tom school in New Jersey. 🤦🤦🤦Read more
