This is a bit on the late side, but Tiff has been bugging me to write a little something about the rest of our trip to IL. So, here’s some pictures, because each one is supposedly worth 1000 words
We rode dirt bikes a little bit, but since the ground was so soft from the recently melted snow, only a very little. Dad, Tristan, and I did do some spring maintenance to the bikes however. Cleaned the carbs, helped dad get the fuel drain screw out of the float bowl on tristan’s bike, and changed the brake fluid in both bikes (Tristan’s Suzuki and Dad’s Honda CRF150)
Both Leander and Tristan have excelled at their piano practicing. Tristan especially is very very talented and obviously has the ear and coordination to play some very impressive pieces.
We also rode the motorcycles again Monday. Dad and Mom started off on the K1200GT and Tiff and I rode the VTX1800. After we rode for about an hour or two we stopped for lunch and switched bikes. Tiff said the BMW is more comfortable as a passenger which sort of surprised me, but it /is/ a BMW after all. Both bikes are great and the handlebar risers that dad has put on the GT make a huge difference. And man is that bike fast. 150HP will do that though
That’s about the gist of our trip… Music, motorcycles, guns, spending lots of time with the family, and lots of good food from mother.
