Florance Vintage Motorcycle Races

Gary Dohm just called me to tell me of a vintage motorcycle race in Florence KS this weekend. It's on Sunday the 28th. It looks like a good time and I'm planning to ride out there. The races start at 10:00 so I plan on getting there around 9:00 to look around before the races. If anyone wants to rid...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 5/31/23

Here's a new place in Herington that Norm Schmidt turned me on to. I guess they just opened recently and Norm said they have plenty of room and the food is pretty good. WOW! What a day. I've been struggling to redesign the electrical switching on my lift project. If you haven't heard, suffice it to ...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 5/24/23

Here's a place we haven't been to for awhile. The first time I heard of it was when I found one of their pens on my kitchen counter. I don't even know where I got the pen from, but it seemed like a good place when I looked it up. It's been about two and a half years since our last visit, and Wednesd...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 5/17/23

Here's an oldie but a goodie. We haven't been here for a few years and its always been a good time in the past. I just heard from Al Hayes from the Eastern KS group. He said they will be joining us in Council Grove, so it should be a good turn out. My second lift conversion is coming along nicely. T...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 5/10/23

It looks like the shaky forecast for next week is improving. Here's a place we haven't been to for about two and a half years. As I recall it was pretty good last time. If the weather holds it should be a good ride. Well, so far the weatherman has been putting the rain off and I'm hoping it will hol...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 5/2/23

Its a dreary miserable day and I'm in the garage turning pieces of steel into chips. At least we're not riding today. Casting an eye to the future it looks like Tuesday is our best shot before the weather tanks again. Although it's not a very long ride, I haven't been able to find this place in the ...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 4/26/23

It looks like next week is going to be a little cooler, so I really don't feel like venturing too far from home. I found a place that we haven't been to for just short of 2 years. Last time we had a pretty good turn out, but the time before that it snowed the night before and only 2 of us showed up ...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 4/19/23

Today is a dismal day. Nasty and rainy. I don't know how much productive work I'll get done. But at least I got us set up for Wednesday. I hope the weather gets it out of its system by then. The forecast is for low 80s and 40% chance of rain. 40% doesn't scare me much. When I was flying I'd check th...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 4/12/23

Next Wednesday is looking pretty good so I figure we can venture a little farther from the den. We haven't been here for about 2 years so I figure we could pay them a visit. Last time I wound up riding out there alone and it was a bit of an adventure. I had to abandon my masculinity and do the unthi...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 4/5/23

I've been watching my old videos of the TV series THEN CAME BRONSON. It made very nostalgic for the road trips I used to do. I was never happier than when I was on the road with no particular plan, not knowing where I'm headed until get there. The pressures of every day life start to weigh pretty he...

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 3/29/23

This place was off the list for a while but they opened back up. They just reopened last week so let's give them a good kick start. Wednesday looks like a reasonably good day for a ride to Marquette for springtime in Kansas with a forecast high of 65* and little chance for rain. So if the weatherman...

Wednesday looks like we're in the butter zone with a high of 76*. It may be a bit windy though. Oh Well. That's springtime in Kansas. I have gotten a few requests for this place recently and it's been a while since we've paid Brigitte a visit. I'd better get the outdoor pictures done quickly though....

Wednesday is looking great for a ride! :D We're looking at a high of 70* and 4% chance of rain. I just got done with some TLC on the old gray goose, and she's ready to go. New front tire, all new oils and filter, replaced the blinker that fell off on the last ride. :x At the rate things are going, t...

Thanks Kurt. They'll be back on the list.
The weather looks OK for that week. If it holds I'll set it up. :D

North Central Kansas Weekly Ride 3/6/23

We're trying to thread the needle with the weather this week. MONDAY looks like the only viable option. Denny Sexton recommended this place and we haven't been there for the better part of 10 years. :o I think it's about time to pay them a visit. The forecast is for 57* and 8% chance for rain on Mon...
