Played with my KPR 200 again today and went through Frankenmuth Mi.. Didn't stop for any of their world famous chicken though.

Went for a ride today to try out a cheap suction cup camera mount. I did attach a light cable lanyard just in case. It stayed stuck for 177 miles. Here is just a quick clip.

before the sky opened up and drenched me. I mean drenched where the only dry spot was my hair inside my helmet. And there isn't much of that left to get wet anyway.
Then on the other side of a nice left hander that opened into a little dip that hid what was coming up. Here is what was on the other side of the dip...

And even though there aren't any lawns along there, just the sides of the road, that grass continued on to spoil the remaining set of curves...

This particular road is a favorite for cruisers, full dress touring bikes, and sport bike riders. Some of whom can't resist riding a bit ... ummm... spirited. Just my opinion but I don't think the residents much care about the speed so much as the noise from a bike at full chat with a loud aftermarket exhaust. So I can't help but wonder if the grass might be a passive/aggressive statement?

90 degrees here today. Not too terrible as long as I kept my KPR 200 moving. I had lots of fun and I even thought about reaching down in this curve to see if I could touch the road with my fingers. I chickened out.

Picked up a few of those in the Eastern Cape in South Africa off the highway... Early mornings especially. But be careful, you gotta hold them out front away from you.. I had one pee`d all over me... Not a smell that I would use as aftershave, not to even talk about their bite....

I love riding in the curves on country roads but some days are just filled with wildlife in the wrong places. First one was the deer on the other side of a nice curve. Mommy deer runs off to the right and watch for Bambi leaping on the left:

And shortly after that I met Big Bird having lunch:
