Kandie, aka Penny Stueve, tries on Shazam's Firebolt for size.
anybody tired of hearing the word "epic"? too bad, today did not disappoint. it's great to be here in Waterloo, Iowa, and many thanks to Craig for setting up our dinner get-together tonight, and to Dale for mapping out such an incredible ride out of Wisconsin this morning.
and to Dave Stueve, aka the Wizard. it's been a hoot hanging with you, my friend - thanks for all your help, enthusiasm and support.
i've got a lot more pix to post when i get home, just trying to keep you all on the hook (and trying to keep my photojournalism workload on the road manageable).
tomorrow? Kansas City, Missouri and the world's best BBQ.

Just for any of you wondering about what I wrote on the baseball for Ferris there is a story.
We were watching a TV show about the Blue Angels jet pilots and there were 134 people trying to get a spot on the team.
In the end, 2 were chosen and they were welcomed by the whole squad with "welcome to the team, a$$hole!"
Denise,
You are welcome. Today I hand Ferris off to the KC guys. |

Jug, I'll wait for your call tomorrow. It was great meeting you and seeing Spidey again.
FBRAT update,
We left Waterloo this morning about 7:15 after a short stop at the hospital to visit Kandie(she's a nurse there).
I only rode as far as Tama with them, we stopped talked a bit and then shook hands, said goodbyes and officially ended my leg of the Epic journey.
Ferris and Alex are in good hands with Shazam and Bill. I parted ways with them about 9am.
Ferris,
Again, very cool to finally meet you in person. The last few days were fun.
I stopped on my way home to talk to a friend of mine that got me into sportbikes. He has since given up riding, he is going to be 70 in Nov and has no desire to ride anything but a fast bike and ride it fast, no Goldwings for him! I was telling him about yesterday with you and me riding behind Alex. I told him we were riding at a 6 or 7/10th pace(not race pace) but were riding fairly close to each other at times. He asked "how long have you been riding with him?" I told him we just met for the first time in person on Thursday. He was a little shocked because he knows how I am about riding close to someone I have not spent A LOT of time riding with to know they aren't going to do something unexpected or stupid. Yes those thoughts did cross my mind when we first started on the curves on the way to IL but I had faith in your ability to ride.
Just wanted to let you know I would ride with you anytime, close as you want.
Yesterday was some of the best public road sportbike riding I have had since I moved to WI( I don't get to do that much).
Yesterday was a blast for me!
Thanks again to Paul and Ferris for letting me be involved with this adventure.
Ride safe and try to keep Alex out of trouble. |
