Rest of 2021

Well after we came back from Tennessee, we did a lot of Tour of Honor sites. This will be George’s 4th year of Tour of Honor. Next time you see him ask him about info if you’re interested. Or see our Rides page for website.

This is a Canine Memorial.

We also did the Veteran Parade with the Sycamore American Legion. It is so amazing thanking the Veterans in the area Nursing Homes. Because of Covid we haven’t been able to shake hands lately, but it’s still so awesome to see the looks on their faces when a lot of bikes come pulling up just for them!!

Line up at HyVee in Sycamore.

Bucketlist Check off (Nashville, TN)

May of 2021 we rode to Nashville, TN with Dawn and Mike Wilkinson. Johnny B and Denise rode down to meet us there. Had a Blast!! Need to go back in a few years. I loved it!! Had so much fun. George doesn’t care if he goes back. LOL We Partied all day Saturday on Broadway, we walked up one side and down the other hitting all the rooftop bars. (So many stairs!!!!!). Went into Alabama for lunch on Sunday, then rode into Georgia for the hell of it. Back up thru Tennesee and into Kentucky for the night. GREAT ROADS!!!!

Beginning of the SHITSHOW!!!

Unique Cafe

If you are around Boscobel, Wisconsin and hungry check out Unique Café at 1100 Wisconsin Ave.. Besides there being some great riding roads up around Boscobel this is a great place to stop and have a good burger, they do have a lot more on the menu but we were in the mood for burgers.  While your there you can check out all the stuff that owner Doyle Lewis has collected. Staff was friendly and the burgers were definitely worth the stop, I had the bulldog burger (half pound)  and she had a regular burger (third pound), fries were very good also. I should mention that this is not a beer stop, they do have bud light, miller light and a couple others but not a lot in stock.

June3, 2019

I took the day off from work because we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary over the weekend and I didn’t do much riding so I am going to do it today. Since it was going to be just me I could put a few miles on and visit a couple Tour Of Honor sites. My plan is to go up to Prairie du Sac and Monroe Wisconsin and ride some good roads that I know and hit some I have not been on yet.

I got my Gazetteer out and went over my route and made changes to hit roads I don’t remember riding on. Working my way to Shirland, Illinois riding and crossing over to Wisconsin, I take Route K to 81 west to T north, this will take you on the outskirts of Brodhead, WI. I usually will ride on Route E just north of Brodhead which is a nice curvy road and take that to Monticello but today I am going north on T and it turns into 104. If you like straight hilly roads (roller coaster) this is one you will like. Before I got to the town of Brooklyn I turned west on Amidon Rd as a short cut to Route 92. I have not ridden 92 before but this is a nice road with some really good curves and scenery, I liked it. I took 92 to Mount Horeb where I got on Route 78 North and took that all the way to Prairie du Sac for a Tour Of Honor site. I have been on 78 many times before and if you haven’t you should, curvy, hilly at times with great scenery and it’s a main road so it is in good shape every time I have ridden on it.

From here I am going to work my way to Monroe, Wisconsin. I head south on 78, I’m just glad that this is a good road to ride because I usually don’t like to ride the same way to and from some place but I didn’t mind riding 78 again. In Mount Horeb I got on Route JG this is another one I don’t remember riding on. It turns into J just west of New Glarus (great brewery) and I have been on that. Both JG and J are good Wisconsin curvy and hilly back roads, but there were parts of JG that had potholes and was beat up. I do recommend it though. I took J until it ended at Route 81 on the west side of Monroe, I went east on 81 for a few minutes and on the corner of 81 and Route N was my next Tour Of Honor site. By the way Route N is highly recommended by every one that has rode their motorcycle on it.

From Monroe I worked my way to Durand, Illinois jumping on Route 11 east to Route S south by Juda to Rock Grove Rd, besides Route 11 everything else is nice quiet back roads. After filling up in Durand I worked my way home, 293 miles and found a couple of good roads.
