Good ride yesterday
Went with a small group (5 bikes) on a ride to Ft. Myers for a bike night to support a friend that was putting it on. We started around 11:45 and took back roads from Brooksville, FL to Sarasota, FL to eat at Yoder's Amish Restaurant http://www.yodersrestaurant.com/. What a great place to eat. Had some sausage and sauerkraut, with 5 bean salad and hot beets (haven't had those for ages). Finished it off by splitting some chocolate peanut butter pie with Tammy.
After we got done eating, around 4:00, we took US 41 down toward Ft. Myers. About Port Charolette area, I noticed my speedometer was acting weird, then stopped working. At a stop light, I looked down and saw that the cable had come loose at the nacelle and dropped all the way to the clip near the wheel. I pulled it over in a parking lot and broke out the tools and got it reattached. My buddies on HD's were making comments about a Jap bike breaking down, but I pointed out it was due to my mechanic not tightening it when he reattached it last week. We got to Sun Powersports in Ft. Myers around 7:00 and met up with a few riders we had ridden with in the past. Headed home up I-75 around 9:00. Got into the garage around 12:45 a.m. All told, about 500 miles for Tammy and I yesterday.
