A day of relief from bad weather. So it was time to roll out the Moto Guzzi V7 and get some helmet time. Destination? One of my favorite places for a ride, Caesar Creek Lake and State Park. The roads to and from are country, curvy and constant.
BTW, last Friday, I learned my new Moto Guzzi would be at a truck terminal in town by end of day, and it should be at the dealer this week!!
See you on the highway.

I have ridden past this school house many times. It is on one of my favorite roads. The Bethel School House was established in 1876. It resides on Hamilton Road between Ohio SR 741 and the town of Lebanon.
See you on the highway.

Aaahhhhh! That felt so good. It is the first ride in seven weeks.
My urologist said no riding for eight weeks, but her intern said six weeks, so it’s a compromise. Seven weeks. It was just a short ride, but I did enlarge the route from just going around the block and stopping to top off the tank. Independence Day is just two days away!
My recovery from surgery is going great. Thanks for asking.
See you on the highway.

It’s been too long since posting, and quite a bit has happened. So, I thought I’d give a quick update.
I scheduled and taught four Tenkara classes before I submitted to the robotic arms. Classes went very well. The students said they enjoyed the time and learned quite a bit about Tenkara, the art of Japanese fly fishing. One student was practicing his Tenkara casting and managed to catch a nice bass. We are not sure who hooked who, but Joe is hooked on Tenkara.
The prostate surgery went well, and I am pretty much healed from that, but post surgery is going to be a long recovery. I am making progress. It also appears I am cancer free. My next bloodwork will confirm.
My 2026 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is still in Italy, I think. I am anxiously awaiting its arrival. The bikes are already sporting about through Europe. I blame tariffs for the delay to the USA. Both my 2023 KLR and 2021 Guzzi V85tt have been sold. I am down to one motorcycle, the 2020 Guzzi V7 Rough, while I await the new V7 Sport.

My web site, this web site, was long overdue for an update. Updating the database has been a pain in the butt, but it looks like I managed to get it done,, although there are some errors that need attention. I have been playing with returning to my favorite photography–B&W images. Expect to see more in the future.
Lin and I are still happily married and in love. We celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary in May, about a week after my surgery. Celebration was very low key.
More to come.
See you on the highway.
