07:30 and he’s snoring still. Must be all tuckered out.

I’ve gotta get ready and repack the trailer and trunk bags. Everything we don’t use daily that got cleaned needs to be put away in the trailer we only have a few extras that we bought or were given .

10:30 We packed the trailer and then got breakfast and we are planning back I-90 then up.

I tried to order healthy but do to miserable weather I’m eating this.

It’s rained off and on all day. My father informed me he was wearing shorts today and it took quite a bit of convincing it was going yo rain and that he should wear his riding clothes and Frogg Toggs raingear.  I could not get him to wear the rubber gloves so now his hands are all black from the dye in the leather gloves. Huh no wonder my brother never listens to anyone, he’s just like his father.

Well it started to clear off about an hour east of Sioux Falls SD so I  pulled into a gas station to fill up and take off my raingear so my jeans and shirt would dry. Mr. Stubborn sat on the bike and would not get off, so his butt was really wet when we arrived in Sioux Falls. Going done I did the 16 mile out of the way trip to Famous Dave’s for him and he really enjoyed it so I did it again today but nope, today he didn’t want ribs that he orders every time, today he orders a hamburger something he never orders. Oh help me God.

After exiting the interstate I noticed a shimmy that I thought was the front wheel but when I hot it up on the center stand there was nothing wrong with it.

After we left Famous Dave’s we went 12 miles west and I had the thought that I should pull off and check the back tire because after this city bike shops get thin until Rapid City.

IMGP8226

We pulled into a gas station again and inspected the rear wheel and tire, yep the rear tire is starting to separate. Well back to Sioux Falls so I punch in McDonalds to get wifi and find bike shops and hotels.

When we arrive at Rottin Ronnie’s there is four police cars there so I went in and asked the officers about a shop and hotel. They all said do not stay in this area, go back to the highway go north and there is a hotel and big bike dealer there.

We we limp it back up the interstate and while doing so another highway patrol pulls us over and asks whats up and we well him what the others said to do and he offers to follow behind us so no one will run into the back of us. He followed us right to the hotel door and then we chatted a bit before he left.

We got a room at the Quality Inn and dad complains about the rate. Yesterday he didn’t care but today is a different story. It’s only $113.00 but last nights $49.00 makes him bitter.

I phone and text TJ to let her know what’s going on and I start blogging.

I also forgot that I bought some synthetic oil additive and I took an photo of the sales girl;
