I have fat fingers... got lost in windy city, looked for a carlsburg, couldnt find no help from marcarl, he must have been sleepln. rode 57 down to avoid problems mentioned on 55. made down to to a small town in missouri called newburg on edge of mark twain national forest. Drove 2 tracks 8 miles into national forest. Found perfect camp spot over valley. 1 4x4 truck went by at 2am, gorgeous nites. Sleep. Rode bunch of route 66 out of missouri. Hopped on 44, toll road into okie was terrible boring so jumped on 69 down thru indian res. Muskogee is cool, mid okie has huge lake area for miles, indians loved the horns on tweeks. Met guy with blonde 83 on trailer. Looked like new. Told him of vr. He signed tweeks. Finally made it to texas, now in dennison. Folks are very nice here, most arefraid of tweeks. Hope I got road names right an in proper order, gettin tired:rotf: Its warm here, actually gettin my riding tan back, tippysdoing great. Bike loves the carb needle drop. Went to .068 on shim height, stock is .122. Perfect results for old tweeks. Getting kicked out of mcdonalds so must go. More in future.Hey, I've been to Muskogee.... did you know that their city council meets in the McDonalds at 6:00 on Sunday mornings and they all wear white cowboy hats.

Wow, you guys are moving along,, not hard to do on a 1st gen eh?? Lucky you didn't get a hold of me for the Windy City tour,, we might have got you some U-turns,,, or maybe a few more than a few,,, but farmers' fields are hard to come by, so I would have had to give up. When I ride I stay away from places like that,,,FAR away!!! Carry on McDuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm,, you have no idea how accurate your obsevation is brian,,,, I thought I had everything covered, maybe even over packed a little. Then we dropped the landing gear in round rock texas, noticed my blinker was slow. Than noticed my volt read 11 volts. Coast ed into bk, ol tweeks died under the shade of a texas burger king. seems I should not have packed so lean and should have stuck a new stator in my maintenance department.. take that back,,,,,, if I would have I may not have had the honor of meeting up with and being helped by 4 more of ventureriders finest. wont spoil my future ride report with full details here but, will say that tippy and i got treated like royality! Heres a quick riddle for anyone who cares,,,,,, tweeks broke down and needed the touch, riding packed lean I had not that much, just when itlooked like we ran out of luck, here came a local texan with a big truck. Made a quick phone call to someone 3 hours away, now we are all friends and for sure will stay! 25 miles to the alamo! puc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Time I was through there, I was met at the boarder of New Mexico by a Venture rider that had offered the day before to bring me a rear tire to Tucumcary, NM. After being met at the state line and escorted into Amarillo by way of the Cadillac ranch we hooked up with TX2Sturgis who treated me like traveling royalty while I was there. It took several days in Amarillo before I got headed back toward Georgia. If you run into Brian aka tx2sturgis beware if he ask you to ford a creek on Tweeks. What Texicans call creeks are rivers to the crackers here in Georgia. Ain't that right Brian? Oh yea, :lightbulb:and if you had a trailer you would have more room to carry a spare stator, rr and battery.......Not saying just saying.

Problem is, tippy has made it clear,,,, if we have a trailer we have to get a second gen.. now i am not opposed to getting one, my problem is I am not sure whether or not tweeks can handle a trailer with the 2nd gen on it as well as all the xtra clutch plates I will need to drag it all on a tour out in this heat.. not sayin,, just sayin:whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Ghost Posted June 5, 2014 Share #36 Posted June 5, 2014 Cowpuc, I think I am just a bit in front of you. We stayed in Gallup overnight, the wind has been a real PITA here in NM. We'll keep an eye out for you. This is our rig, holler if you see us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll keep an eye out for you. This is our rig, holler if you see us. Gorgeous rig there ghost! We are close to big bend np waiting for the temps to drop a little before hitting the park. High winds here to all day too, kinda reminds tippy of wyoming, close but no cigar really... I like the wind for that feeling of flight.. You folks hitting The Dalles rally? Would love to me you folks. Will keep an eye out for your bike, please do the same with ours.. real easy to spot now cause the stator cover is signed SQUIDLEY in blue ink, if you see one signed by him in anyother color its not us, Puc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
