Why YES IT IS my trailered bike--beav

I had to bail as I think I got that bad gas in Ill or Indiania coming home from Sturgis. They cleaned a storage tank and did not empty it. Cars in ill had to be towed in to completely clean out the jel from the gas.Lines tank carbs, fuel injectors.

Now my bike runs up to 63mph and then starts missing.I lose power and could not keep up . I was afraid that the bike would quit on me so I turned around and limped home.

Ran into a real downpour. I really wanted to keep going but did not want to have to tow the bike and trailer home.

That is all the pics I took.

:good: Awesome pics and video. Doctor told me not to so I haven't had a beer in over a year until tonight, as I think it's time to raise the aluminum can to the triumphant gladiators over Isacc, the fit of the fittest, the daringest of the daring, those who dare to go where no man has ever ventured before, a hearty CHEERS!! :salute: :salute: to you all. Have fun. (Dog gone that beer is pretty good.) Keep em straight joe. :music: :music:

[danf]

Oh....I'd say he had a couple of beers....taking photo's of frames and such.......Instead of People :Awe: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:

Back home safe and sound, none the worse for wear. I fully understand the guys that turned back. We were running late, had a serious threat of rain and Wilco’s gas problems. At the same time I’m glad they started out with us and I had a chance to meet some great guys. The same can be said of the guys and gals I got to meet at Joe’s.
I got in the bed around 3:30 this morning and when I rolled out around 9:00 the radar map didn’t look so good so I decided to load up race Issac the 285 miles back to Jackson.
It was actually beautiful weather until about 10 miles from home it started to sprinkle a little and then a little more and the last mile it really rained. When I pulled into the garage the downpour started.....maybe I could have left 10 minutes earlier.
Of course the highlight was meeting everyone but another thing ranks right up there too...
I got to ride with the famous and infamous Joe Drum! He was gracious enough to lead me from his home to I-64 and point me East.
Joe thanks for the hospitality and the comfy bed in your little cabin. I’m glad I didn’t have to turn back . (I thought about it)
Lets do it again sometime!
