Well today the Blue Wing made the transformation over to the Darkside. The Darkside you ask? Well that's what they call it when you put a car tire on a motorcycle. Some good friends came over and we put mine on then one of the other guys put one on his too.
We then saddled up and I led them North out through Trenton on some twisty roads then on to TJ Chumps in Miamisburg for lunch. That's where we parted ways and each headed our own direction towards home.
I really liked the feel of the C/T on the wing and the guys riding behind me commented on how much more footprint it had on the ground than the M/T did. I think i'm going to like it.

I had a great ride today with my son Rick and grandaughter Kelly.
Kelly rode with me on the wing. Her helmet is wired so I could talk to her the whole ride. At one point I had the radio on and she was singing "Piano Man" along with the music. I nearly cracked up because I guess she never thought about me hearing it.
We left from home about 1:00 headed toward Fairfield where we picked up East River Rd to Buffalo Ridge Rd. Then we dropped down Bridgetown Rd to SR-50 west to Lawrenceburg Rd and on to Dearborn Rd to SR-52 into Brookville, Indiana where we made a fuel stop.
Somewhere on 52 I felt a little bump on my back and realized it was Kelly who had fallen to sleep for about 5 minutes.
We left Brookville headed toward home after a nice ride. We did a total of 105 miles today with a good 3 hours in the saddle.
It was fun to get out for a ride with Kelly and Rick today. Sorry I have no pictures to post but we only stopped for fuel.
I can't wait to ride again soon.
