If the Indians had given the Pilgrims a donkey instead of a turkey, we would all be having a piece of A-$ on Thanksgiving!!....

Doreen and I took a short get away this past weekend. We left home after I got off work on Saturday and drove to Chamberlain, SD. A short jaunt for most folks on here, 140 miles, but the longest tip we have taken so far. We took back roads and in spite of the heat, we had a great ride. The only problem we had was that I lost function on the speedometer about 90 miles from home. We pulled into a small town and found some shade. I thought that since I had everything else functioning on the dash except the speedo and odo, the cable may have come loose on the speedo head. I had it off earlier this spring so I could lube it. As I started to take the chrome timr off, I looked down and saw that the cable had come loose from the sensor on the wheel. Easy fix and back on the road again. We stayed at an AmericInn right be the Interstate. There were at least 4 dozen bikes parked there. This did not include those inside trailers. One Voyager, two Goldwing trikes (matching units and one with a trailer) and my Venture. Everything else was HD. I would love to have a fourth of the value of those bikes in the bank!!!!!! A hot ride, 95 degrees or so, but we stayed hydrated and had a good time. Sunday was another great ride. We left there about 7:30 AM in an attempt to beat the heat. FAILED in this attempt. Sure is sweaty in the leathers. We had stopped at a wide spot in the road on SD HWY 34 heading back. A group of 8 bikes and 2 pickups approached us from the East. First bike was what looked like an older Honda Hawk, could not tell as I was agog at the remaining bikes. These were all 1930's or 40's INDIANS! What a bunch of great looking motorcycles! The first pickup had a trailer with two more Indians and the other pickup had an older Yamaha Virago in the bed. Every one of the group was looking to make sure we were not broken down and they all thought we were headed the wrong way. I have got to say that everytime we met anyone on the road, they did wave back. Sorry for the rambling, I hope everyone elses had a great weekend as well. Dave
