- Week DJ_MI's Nightly Rides. I'm going to Detroit; wish me luck!

Do you mean along that stretch of road, Shelby Township, or Michigan in general?

I never spent any time in the U.P. so I can't comment on that but it seems like anywhere in SE Mich. the police are ready to pounce an any minor infraction of the traffic code. The State Police would set up road blocks they called "Safety Inspection" to check vehicle documents and operation of all vehicle systems. I got a written warning because my license plate light was not working with the promise I would be ticketed if I was caught after dark.

I’ve lived here my whole life so I don’t know any different or how things are in other states. I have gotten to know what areas to be extra careful in though. As I’ve gotten older I get cut more slack. I’ll never forget the first time I got pulled over and the officer called me “sir”.

I’ve never heard of road block style inspections in my area. Where was that at?

Livingston Co., in the 1970's

Did you kick over the kiosk on your way out?

 

[Madmx]

Rock on. We got a similar guided tour of the maps museum in Canton. No one was there but a ww2 vet. It was beyond awesome.

Those Packard pics are the best yet. Keep it up!!!

We have stuff blowing up in Huntsville all the time. I live near Redstone Arsenal and they blow stuff up there a lot. It rattles the windows. Lately they have been testing Rocket engines and that can be felt and it is LOUD.

What is that a Google map route

 

[Madmx]

The wind was brutal here too. I had a bad combo of loose jacket and tw on 55mph roads.

The power sticker goes on your bike, not in the mug.

Don't you know how dangerous it can be to cross the streams?

Proton packs?

77° here. About to go repeat yesterday's fun.

 

[Soggy Biscuit]

Cement mixer ftw! I've noticed the warmer temps really make my fork seals leak much more. Packed in Vaseline doesn't work so well on days above 60º.

Gonna have to. Milk crate won't work since the bottom of the bike isn't even. Shops around here want between $500 and $1,000 for the job.

Ya my crash bar mount is what I used to lift the front.

I wanna bet your seal spring expanded with rust and put too much pressure on the wipers. Same thing happens with the quad seal in brake calipers. Except aluminum oxide. A northern truck frame can expand to almost 3x the thickness....

Is that construction equipment part of the training program for the high school?

 

[762x54]

It looked like it might be a project from the Art Dept.

45f and dead calm winds. I’m going to see if I can find the tag for the SE tag game.

I left em because I had a dug out canoe pic! Plus a cypress wood herring work boat and a concrete angel statue tags. I am off work tomorrow!! That is rare...I found out Fri

You are most welcome. Those grips got me to and from work more mornings I care to remember, on a 2006 Yamaha Morphous ( that I still have) in what passes for winter in coastal South Carolina. Enjoy in good health my friend.

I should’ve emphasized that if a 2006 250cc scooter’s electrical system held up I should think you would have no trouble with a far newer perhaps even more robust charging system. KLX,no?
Juggalos?
