Traverse City Michigan
September 10th
Today we finally hit the road. The total mileage was 184 miles. It was a gorgeous day with great weather. Some of the best riding of the day was 30+ miles along the lakeshore. It was a twisty turny route that went through a tunnel of the forest – you never saw the sky and occasionally glimpsed the lake. Lucille ran great and left plenty of oil on the road.
Below is the sendoff in the SOO! Everyone is itching to go.
This is a typical scene at the gas station. Especially when everyone is running on fumes. Gas and oil changes here are the norm.
Two sweep trucks contained nine bikes that suffered various issues.
Unfortunately, Tom Banks had both of his single cylinder Harleys on the trailer. Below a motor is torn down awaiting diagnosis.
Here is the frame that motor came out of. Tom is looking pretty sad in the background…
