I am writing this from a hotel room in Seattle. I am at a conference and missing the fact that I can’t be out riding. As there are a lot of motorcycles here in downtown Seattle, I watch them drive by and try to figure out makes and models. I decided I needed to plan a day trip to address my motorcycle craving. The ride will take me south out of Indianapolis through one state forest and one national forest, through numerous hills and twisty roads, on one 4-lane highway, and lunch at historic Story Inn (a noted motorcycle stopping point). Google Maps estimates 170 miles and 5 hours and 16 minutes.

Now I just need to have the weather cooperate–fingers crossed.

BTW, trip is planned for Friday–taking off work to ride!

Hey, you might have seen me this morning! I rode through downtown to just past the conference center (assuming that’s where you are). Shame you can’t go riding here. I’ve a day long trip planned for Saturday over the mountains to the “dry side” of WA. Mountains, desert and the Colombia river all in one day. Can’t wait!

Your Friday trip sounds like fun. Good luck with that.

Hey, eon, it’s a small world. I am staying by the convention center (at the Red Lion). I’ve been here since Sunday night, but haven’t been out yet today. So, I didn’t see you today, but if you were down here yesterday or Monday, I might have.

Small world indeed. I work just round the corner from there and also stayed at the Red Lion when I was moving here. You will know me if you see me. Red 3 wheel scooter with bright yellow jacket. Not easy to mistake me
I was not out the past few days though, work mostly from home. Hope your time here has been productive and enjoyable. Certainly been nice weather (at least for us). Post pics of your Friday ride. I hope to do a ride report but its a ride organized by a local online bike mag (www.soundrider.com) and while these rides are always great fun, there are not many stops for photos. Just non-stop riding
