Woke up 7ish and loaded up. Had checked the ole google map and the closest coffee place was 21 miles away.. really? Super 8 coffee. Two cups. 830 on the road. Fresh morning. Body was rested and ready for the day.
Nice ride through Virginia. Some neat fog in the valleys. Great roads. Great vistas. Took my time. Totally easy ride. Not much traffic…
Three weeks ago was my final day at work.. 35 years at the same company and working 10 years before that. Nice, but time to move on and do the ‘stuff’ we all think about doing….
The first week was big, real big. Got my hair cut. Signed up for COBRA. A trip to Costco. Total decompression. I kept saying to myself, I can do whatever I want and I did pretty much nothing.
The second week I started purging ‘stuff’. Lots of stuff. I mean lots. Also learned to not look at my phone every three minutes for emails. Feels good Continue reading
In anticipation of a few trips before the snow flies, I have been adding a few things to the Bandit and I thought I would share some solutions and tips I had. I put together a YouTube. Albeit some of this would be pretty basic to many but I thought I would share… Things I added and addressed are;

12oClock Labs Speedo DRD
AdMore lighting kit for Givi bags
USB Charger
Garmin Zumo
GoPro or Action Camera
Thanks!

Finding a considerable lack of ability and the manufacturer’s lack of foresight in design to tap into the Suzuki’s electrical system, I put together my own switched and fused wiring harness to add some things to the bike.. I took the opportunity to share on Youtube!

We found a ‘scenic byway’ on the map about 30 miles south that headed east for a ways. Seeing as how scenic this part of the country is, we headed down there.

Nice morning. Woke up at over 7000′ in the Montana mountains. Blogs will be delayed due to lack of wifi / cell service in the wilderness. We started with some of Mike’s famous camp coffee made with filtered mountain stream water. Good and strong. Had to stop at an auto parts store in Red Lodge to fix the tail light on my Honda. Headed out of town for the Bear Tooth Pass into Yellowstone. Continue reading
Late start this morning. Mainly from me. The late nights are not compatible blogging at the end of the day so I have been trying to push these out early before anyone gets up. Slept well at the Blue Gables Motel and Coffee Cafe. The lady who runs the place loves to talk and will serve you all the coffee you want in the morning. Continue reading
What a change from yesterday. Not a cloud in the sky. Low 40s but forecasted to be 70. Windy but not like before
