customsteve01 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Day 25 07/29/09 Last Day Left Indy in the rain and it looked like I would be in and out of the rain all day. I can not complain tho this will be the only day in the rain out of 25. I also never put on my heavy leather coat. Left Indy on I-70 to Dayton, OH then turned South on 35 to Charleston, WV. The entire ride on 35 ended up being in a heavy rain that stopped as soon as I got on I-64. It was just patches of rain the rest of the way home. Turned off I-64 onto Route 60 to Powhatan, VA (home) I could only take pictures when it wasn't raining and I really didn't want to stop. I made the 640 mile trip in just under 11 hours. I arrived home at 9:15 PM Leaving Indy Charleston, WV I was really glad it was dry thru here. This is a blast on a scooter. Hello VA Blue Ridge Parkway, only a little over an hour to go............ Closer but going to get wet againhttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo328/LoneStarAcres/DSC04630.jpg I thought I was going to get in a downpour for sure. even had a Lightning bolt hit so close that there was hardly any delay in the crash sound, that was scary.http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo328/LoneStarAcres/DSC04635.jpg HOMEhttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo328/LoneStarAcres/DSC04637.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo328/LoneStarAcres/DSC04639.jpg The total miles were 8,832 and my back tire still has meat on it with 14,759 total miles on the bike. I will post more about the trip later Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsteve01 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 This thread is pretty much a copy of the real thread on a Harley forum.

ace168516 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Dig the pic of the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge...that is one of the nicer more scenic areas to look at in all of central IL, unless you like looking at corn and soybeans (I live here, so of course I do) You passed about 5 miles away from my house at the 39/55/74 interchange...and I don't think you missed the sign...I took 74 to Indy to pick up my cornwalls and I never recalled seeing one either. Thanks for the pics, they are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Steve: I am glad to know that you are home again, safe and sound. I've sure enjoyed reading about your travels and seeing the photos. Thanks for all of the posting! I'd heard you were in Indy last weekend after talking with Roger and I sure wish we'd been there to see you, but we were picking up my rebuilt Eico amp from Craig (NOS Valves) at his house up north. We're still hoping to drive out your way some time in late September or October. -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
