Where did you ride today?

[ChucksKLRST]

Closed out my August Moto Miles with a loop over Guanella Pass this morning. 160 mile loop door to door. Temps, low of 38 degrees , high of 86 degrees. Soon it will be time for the electric gear.

I had to take a picture of the quality of that beach at Whonnock [my first time hearing of it as well] having just come back from Lake Isle the nice picture, and stopping by Lake Wabamun. The bad picture is "Seba Beach" at the east end of Lake Wabamun. Hardly anything you could let the kids in. Lake Isle is no better, for as good as it looks, the smell at the shore line would knock a dog of a well, you know the rest, and the sight as you approach, well I wasn't going to hang around for a close up. The grounds at the gated site we were at had a pretty good amenites and well maintained outdoor pool decent [for kids] outdoor pool at least.
I don't know what it takes to clean up a lake so it can be enjoyed for recreation, but honestly Alberta Government, take some of that photo radar money you took from me and everyone else over the last twenty years or so and get it done. It's a shame early August, no one out there. Kids need to remember a lake in their childhood.
Whonnock lake has going for it a few things, nice big sloped beach, clear, a little off the beaten path and no power boats make it a little less popular and a not too crowded place during the week.

Rode up to my son's house. A 46+ mile round trip this time.
Went to help him put down some gravel to set the garbage and recycle bins on and dig a hole to plant a new tree... in place of an original tree that died because the builder doesn't know how to plant those things in clay soil. We got the hole down to 30-36 inches deep and the clay was still holding water like a pot. Will have to dig deeper and put in a lot of gravel to give water someplace to go.

JAWS!

How does that compare to your BMW? Dash speakers any good?

One of the reasons I am trying to do all my own maintenance is so I avoid stepping foot in any dealer showroom.

 

[Sadlsor]

No, the dash speakers are no good!

Not on ANY bike. Earplugs are the way to go, we don't wanna hear your rap.

Even if you're playing the Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd... please keep it to yourself. (And your pillion, if that applies to you. )

There was one dude playing disco and it was loud. Please no. I always keep my music in my helmet. You don’t want to hear my hard rock and I don’t want to hear your country or whatever. The rumble is enough.

 

[Sadlsor]

In my helmet today, I could hear myself sweat.

So I tuned into a private concert (me only) by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, imagining myself sitting in a light refreshing breeze on a cool rock under the shade of a large oak tree, overlooking a calm, blue lake in the Oxark hills.

The real reality, however...

Took a short 300 mile ride to beautiful Port Austin on the shores of Lake Huron, just to clean my eyes and recharge for the new week. Perfect day...

Langley Kwantlen University grounds - Falcon Farlane Comet group. Pretty good to see this engine running with the exposed push rods. Resolution is lost in the yellow sheet but says this vehicle is all original. Look how well that fan belt has aged

Up-draft carburetor; there's something you don't see every day.

And the exhaust manifold built into the head.

Well, I was left unsupervised again, and I went to hell and back! You know, it’s one of the iron but theme rides and it’s a saddle sore 1000. I did it just shy of 18 hours. Here’s the Spotwalla link:

The town of Hell Michigan is basically three buildings, one of which is a nice saloon that was completely crawling with motorcycle riders! I didn’t dare go in and have a beer knowing I had another 560 miles to finish. Instead, I took pictures of the portage dam, which is somehow part of the original name of the place.
I loaded up and scoo-doodled back the way I came.
When I was on route 90 going through Cleveland, Ohio, either the blue Angels or the Air Force Thunderbirds flew overhead in formation! I felt sort of validated…

Nice little Labor Day excursion.

Marys Peak summit, Alsea Falls and back home. Perfect day to ride.





I remember the falls being more impressive the last time I was here.



Oh wait! There they are!!
