2 Weeks of Riding in Iowa Illinois Missouri Kentucky Wisconsin Minnesota

[owrstrich]

we work the west coast and vacation in the midwest...

so we scored another motobrick for the midwest... a 1996 K1100LT...

ended up doing about 5,000 miles 1 up... and 400 miles 2 up...

since micki took the camera for family stuff... all i got was these 4 photos to share...

riding 2 up into the belly of the storm... after picking up micki in wisconsin headed for iowa...



i gotts to eat...



hibernation in iowa...

no... not ted nugent playing his killer tribute to the leader of the land...

a motobrick all showered and holed up waiting for christmas in july...





the brick on the floor next to the front tire is from the culver brick company... it was an origional front straight paver... actually a set of 4 still mortared together... from the indianapolis speedway... i have been hauling them around with me my whole life... even though they would fetch a nice paycheck from a racing collector...

here you go... ted at his best...

Well, listen everybody,
to what I got to say.
There's hope for tomorrow,
Ooh,we're workin'on today.

Well,it happened long time ago,
in the new magic land.
The Indian and the buffalo,
they existed hand in hand....

The Indian needed food,
he needed skins for a roof.
But he only took what they needed,baby.
Millions of buffalo were the proof.

Yeah,its all right.

But then came the white man,
with his thick and empty head.
He couldnt see past the billfold,
he wanted all the buffalo dead.

It was sad...It was sad.
Oh yeah...yes indeed.
Oh yes,

it happened a long time ago,baby.
In the new magic land.
See,the Indian and the buffalo,
they existed hand in hand.

The Indians,they needed some food,
and some skins for a roof.
They only took what they needed,baby.
millions of buffalo were the proof,yeah.

But then came the white dogs,
with their thick and empty heads.
They couldnt see past the billfold.
they wanted all the buffalo dead.

Everything was SO sad.

When I looked above the canyon wall,
some strong eyes did I see.
I think its somebody comin' around
to save my ass,baby.

I think...I think he's comin' around
to save you and me.

Boys......

I said, above the canyon wall...
strong eyes did glow.
It was the leader of the land,baby.
OH MY GOD,

The GREAT WHITE BUFFALO.....
LOOK OUT!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!!!!

Well,he got the battered herd.
He led em cross the land.
With the Great White Buffalo,
they gonna make a final stand.

The Great White Buffalo,
comin'around to make a final stand.
Well,look out here he comes.
The great white buffalo,baby.
The Great White Buffalo....
Look out,here he comes.
He's doin'all right.
Makin'everything all right.

Yeah,yeah,yeah....
