I finally got to visit the Texas Vintage Motorcycle Museum in Johnson City. It was posted there were 108 motorcycles on display. Each cycle had a information card attached to it of which I read them all. The Bridgestone Hurricane was a surprise for me. The building was a Ford dealership originally. Well worth a visit, $7 admission.

I visited there just over a year ago, very nice place. More or less equal to the Hill Country Motorheads in Burnet, but HCM has more dirt than street bikes
 
I've not been to either of these, but do enjoy visiting them. Not only a lot of fun seeing/drooling over these fine examples, but also to support them for their efforts. I'm sure they struggle too in these deplorable times.
 
Decided to head west instead. I never get tired of Gateway - 141.

Speaking of. I saw this news video today about this area:


While not a fan of the government administering it, I can see why there is a move to do it. There are many new homes popping up around the northern end, completely ruining that remote Gateway feeling.
 
Ran the Grocery Run route out of Montgomery, no idea how they come up with the names. If you're local and know the Cheeseburger Loop, it's similar although past Bedias we ran some neat stuff that was different.

If you're not riding this morning, you're missing out. About as good as it gets in Texas. The last picture is a grown over trail in the Sam Houston forest. :(

Thursday afternoon the son and a couple of friends came over and rode the turn track. I went out and rode about 1/2 hour and that was all I wanted. The youngest of the group is getting pretty fast. I took a short video of him going through near the shop and saw his foot fly off the peg so had to tease him that he had been watching Deegan to much. Here is a really short clip of what I was giving him a hard time about.


Today I went out and mowed the track as it was getting pretty grown in. Got done and decided to I was already hot and sweaty so went out o nthe GasGas and rode for about 25 minutes. IT was hot but not as bad as being in the shop working today.
