Omaha, NE - Riverton, IA Ride (6/30/12)

[RedWhiteandBuell]

Met up with BuellyBagger and 1badtitan yesterday. It was a hot ride. It wasn't real bad as long as you were riding. On the way back it was pretty warm. I took a little spin around Omaha once I got back and it was miserable. I was drenched in sweat when I got the bike put back in the garage.

I rode my 2008 Honda CBR600RR. I just got done putting her back together after putting some mods on it the last few months and I have not ridden it for a long while. I really missed that bike! I love my Buell, but that Honda is a completely different ride. Can't say which I like better because they please me in such different ways when I ride either of them.

Anyways, we met in Council Bluffs, Iowa and rode to Pacific Junction stopped to hydrate and the bar was closed. BuellyBagger knew of a bar/grill that was open in Tabor, IA so we rode there and wolfo68 met up with us there. Had some burgers and a few waters there. Mounted back up and rode to Riverton, IA. Had some more water, checked out the towns little car show they were having, and the headed home.

Overall it was a great ride, except for the heat/humidity, I forgot my camera (so iPhone pics it is), and wolfo having a small problem with his bike in Riverton. On to the pics.

No pics before we started. I was running late so we just took off to try and get some riding in before the heat set in for the day.

Nice pics. My wife and I are building a house in the Council Bluffs area. I work in CB now but commuting weekly from our current home in Des Moines. I will have to check out the route you guys took one evening.

when will you be living in cb... hope to see you at one of the meets....

 

[OmegaRunner]

I probably won't be living "full time" in CB until late January or early February. However, right now I usually head in to work on Monday and don't head back to Des Moines until Thurday or Friday. I work at the National Guard Armory in CB, so I just sleep there.

Oh got ya.. is your bike down here..

 

[OmegaRunner]

I usually ride the bike back and forth when I go in for the week. I think I have only taken my truck twice in the past four months. I was taking my Sportster before, but the Ulysses is so much easier to travel with all my crap.
