Sunrise over dry pavement on my final class of the 2021 season. Congrats to 7 brand new riders who kept on riding and smiling through a constant cold rain on Saturday. Their efforts were rewarded with a pleasant Sunday and an “M” endorsement on their licenses!

First day of my final class of the year… chilly, dark, and very rainy till the final exercise (though tomorrow is supposed to be drier). Somehow spirits stayed high all day, class was fun despite the weather. This is a group of new riders taking the rough way to earn their endorsements!

This yard in Perry had a great boating skeleton theme last Halloween. This year it’s a bicycle theme, the “Tour de Fright 2021”. Need to go back for another pic ‘cuz it looks even better in the dark!

Today’s maintenance PSA: fresh brake fluid is nearly clear, old may be tinted but still transparent- it should NEVER look like this. Needless to say, the Screaming Yellow V-Rod was flushed with new fluids! Also, make a little effort and dispose of old fluids properly!

Another fantabulous autumn day leads to a conundrum- enjoy an open garage to work, or ride?

Thinks if it looks all adorable and polite it will be rewarded with a peanut (or a dozen)- and on this patio it will be correct!l

Unloading my latest project, VRSCR brought home on Unloading my latest project, VRSCR brought home on a 20hr rounder from TN. V-Rod Street Rod was an interesting 2-year experiment (2006-07) by Harley-Davidson, and exactly what I wanted. USD Ohlins fork, Brembo Brakes, less rake, more lean, naked "Roadster" - fun stuff! Digging into it, I've discovered the 1st owner had some... questionable ideas of "repairs" and "maintenance"- definitely some issues that must be addressed. 2nd owner (TN seller) was a rider, NOT a mechanic- missed a few things before he kinda' stopped riding it . Ah well, sure is a pretty project! #VRSCR #VRod #StreetRod #ScreamingYellowZonker #HarleyDavidson #NewProjectBike #SamsungGalaxyS20FE #DigitalRollOfFilm2021 #RideLocalDreamGlobal

MotoClass cancelled, seemed a good weekend to do s MotoClass cancelled, seemed a good weekend to do some exploring with PrettyWife. This is the marina upriver from Ashtabula Harbor where 50 years ago I spent my 1st overnight sailing trip (from Fairport Harbor) with my Grandpa and Uncle Ray. Remember waiting for the lift bridge to clear our mast, got to watch it in action again today - Fun day, great memories! #AshtabulaOhio #Sailing #Marina #AshtabulaHarbor #NEOhioAutumn #OhioExplored #Memories #Grandparents #SamsungGalaxyS20FE #DigitalRollOfFilm2021 #RideLocalDreamGlobal
