Shovelhead Reunion 2021, Milwaukee, WI

Day 4

Today was super fun. We had breakfast with Danielle Werner and talked about the Route 66 ride we are planning for next year, then we went to the Harley museum and met up with JoAnn Enk and Ron Enk – talked them into doing the tour for the millionth time! Thank you!!! 💙💙💙

Then we browsed the shovels that had gathered there for the ride to the park where the festivities continued. I chose not to ride today. They were calling for rain, yet again, and even though it ended up holding off, I simply am tired of riding in rain, being wet, and dealing with fogged up glasses.

They are calling for rain for the rest of forever, so we will likely be riding home in the shit. Anyway, the event was super cool. There was a group of people and shovels who came from Puerto Rico! Dang! That’s some serious travel….It was just a really fun day chilling with Tara Lynch and Marjorie Kleiman. After the shovel event, we went to the Iron Horse for a bite. None of us are night owls, so we are really living on the edge staying up past our bedtimes! 🤣🤣🤣

Somewhere, they were shooting off fireworks that we could just see above the buildings. I love fireworks, but I do not get to enjoy them often. The only photos I have from today are of a stained glass “water tower” on top of a building downtown. That is all…

I ride motorcycles, I live motorcycles, and I write about motorcycles. Both of my blogs are written for motorcyclists: atomicshovel.blog tells the never-ending story of my 1974 Harley-Davidson FLH, which I have named the Atomic Shovel. My other blog coachk.home.blog is written for riders of all skill levels, but is primarily aimed toward the rider who is transitioning from the riding range where they learned basic skills, to the open road. This blog address the most common questions I see in the online groups and forums: dealing with anxiety - yes, that is the number one question, navigating traffic, parking, holding your bike on an incline, just to mention a few. Much of what I write is simply drawn from my own experiences - successes, failures, do-overs. Nothing in either blog should be construed as the absolute one and only approach; rather, look at them as a starting point for your own discovery process.
