This week marks the unofficial mid-point of the summer riding season here on the upper half of the globe. For myself, having two little girls in my life requires apportioning my time between family and other interests, so I'm as guilty as anyone of not getting dedicated seat time.
But Iron Butt rides are not required to be a motorcyclist — just gear up and do it. A good burger and malt at that drive-in two hours away is a great excuse for a half-day ride. Going for coffee on the town square in East Troy, Wisconsin puts 100 miles on my odometer. Talk a friend into a local ride for lunch and take the long way home. Always take the long way home.
We all know that feeling when the magic button is pushed, the engine bursting into sound, the bike coming to life. The anticipation of a backroad ride on two wheels is a unique personal adventure. Find the time.
