Some Wyoming cannonball pictures

Hi guys it's been a busy and stressful couple of says. We passed over the bear tooth mountains yesterday and spent te night inside Yellowstone. This park is amazing. It's like another planet. We came in on highway fourteen. It was a nice gradual climb up the mountain and a fun ride down it. I scraped up the foot boards on the way down. Today my coil decided to quit which really sucked. Our group of riders left Yellowstone at eight in the am and it was twenty five degrees out. I'll post some pics later on. I ended up making it seventy miles and then had to get hauled in. I converted the bike to twelve volt and am running total loss electrical wish is luck all of the riders need it.

Yesterday these bikes were in pieces today they were rolling down the road

All if these bikes were in pieces yesterday and ran from sturgis to Cheyenne today My bike only needed some minor maintenance compared to what other guys were goon through

Cannonball rest day

We made it to sturgis and half way through the run. I have to reseal my top end and pull the transmission ,luckily we are on our rest day in sturgis. Here are some cool photos from the last couple of days.

bright white....that's what i need right now.  i stayed up too late last night.  i'm not a good sleeper when my husband is away (luckily he's on his way home now).  so i stay up really late listening to all the sounds, triple checking on my sleeping kiddos, watching horrible late night tv, looking at pinterest...i wish i was just the kind of person who got into bed and fell fast asleep.  but hey, at least it's the weekend!!  i hope y'all have a peaceful one :)  see you next week!

Pics from yesterday and today

The run is really tough we had a thirty mile per hour cross wind going through Iowa yesterday. Most if the bikes were only able to go forty five We are in south Dakota right now and it's been raining all day. We are stopping in murdoe tonight. Come by and hang out if you can

 i haven't been watching tv lately but on mon, i dabbled back into one of my guilty plessures- the voice....i've got to say adam and blake can make a girl laugh!!  i love their bromance!
