SitRep [Situation Report]:
- The bike and I made the U-Haul trip from Dover DE to Cincinnati OH with no issues, arriving Tuesday evening. The Powder Keg HD Service team unloaded him for me because of my ribs and because I probably have PTSD with ramps now 🤣😔. They got me rolling Thursday at close of business. Awesome!! They fixed the belt, cush drive, and both sprockets, as well as both tires, rear rotor/pads and front wheel bearings. Whoosh. 💲ka-ching
- I left Cincinnati at about 1830 beginning my Iron Butt Association SaddleSore 1000 (1,000 miles in under 24 hours) to Fort Myers FL to celebrate Vroom Old Man Patrick Cornell 's 200,000-mile year tomorrow!!! I slept Hoka Hey style at Knoxville HD for about 4 hours, then finished the 1,168-mile ride today at 1730...23 hours later 💪.
- I have routine service in the morning at Rockstar HD. I plan to Uber to the Indian dealership for Pat's big finish. If you haven't heard about this incredible ride, then check it out here: https://give.myotonic.org/Pat125.
- The pain in my ribs has migrated up into my armpit. Because there's no bruising I don't think anything hit me. Rather, I think I pulled a muscle. Specify, I think I pulled the muscle that allows your arm to rotate up and back so that your middle finger is highly visible to the idiot drivers nearby 🖕. Aleve and Biofreeze work enough to take the edge off, but I mostly used my right arm/hand for sign language today 🤣. And I'm finding that the 8.2% ABV ale that I'm drinking at the pub next to the hotel has amazing curative powers 🤣.
- Huge thanks to Buffalo Bob Bingham for hosting me the two nights I was in Cincy!!! I'm so very lucky to have friends like him!
Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️

TravelerWow!! Your belt must of stretched alot. I check the tension often with a new belt. Don't think I've ever seen one with that many teeth gone.😀
