The morning in Superior, Arizona was cool and clear. Checking the forecast for a few cities and towns along my route, it looked like there was a good chance that the nasty winds that I encountered on they way down were waiting to torture me on the way back too. It also looked like it would be chilly, with temperatures in the 35-50˚F range.

Category Archives: Bikes
This category is shamelessly dedicated to my motorcycles. Neither bike is the fastest, biggest, most expensive, or prettiest motorcycle on the planet, but each has become extremely well-suited to me.

Making up lost time
The last time I went down to Red’s MIAZ (Meet In Arizona) gathering, I got nearly all the way to St. Louis, Missouri on the first evening’s ride. This time, as noted in my previous post, I only got to Springfield, Illinois, which meant that I would need to make up the lost hour the next day.

I wanted to get out of work around 3pm to I could be well on the road by 5pm. That would put me in good position to beat the advancing line of thunderstorms that was coming up from Indiana. It would also afford me the best chance to get down towards St. Louis, MO before I turned into a pumpkin.

Geotag test
Test post with geotag on. Both geolocation and geotag plugins are enabled. Include a geotagged image to test that too.
Multiple images from iPhone
Let’s try to post multiple images from the iPhone and see if I can make them be a gallery.
Frame minus engine for rebuild.
Busted frame
Roached piston
It turns out that I was able to upload multiple images from the iPhone but not as a gallery. I was, however, able to turn the post into a gallery without too much work.
First gallery attempt
This is my first attempt at a gallery added from a web UI.
Lean that rocking panda!
