Chix on 66 – Day 7 Tulsa to Oklahoma City, OK

Tulsa to Oklahoma City

I did this leg in the sweep truck, or as I call it, the “man van” with Jason Sims and Jose Torres. I really missed my little posse but knowing Athena Ransom had found that broken wire, I was very hopeful that I dodged a bullet and the ignition module was ok.

We stopped at Buck Atom’s and the Golden Driller on the way out of Tulsa, and met up with Rhys Martin of the OK Route 66 Association who took some photos of us as well.

Another stop at Seaba Station Motorcycle Museum and then to the hotel.

Athena and Gypsy were on my bike first thing and topped off my oil, and repaired the broken wire. But…. no go. It really was the ignition module. Sumbitch.

This is where I just love motorcycle people. When you need something, all you have to do is ask. Once Athena, Gypsy and I discussed options, they suggested I go with a different ignition altogether, which I was fine with. So they speced out what I needed and I started trying to locate one.

Chris Possum Sawyer put out a call for me, and KA Miller was on hand with Judy Jacob and her husband. Judy is local, so they suggested a place to call in the morning.

We tried a couple other options as well.

So there’s hope I’ll be riding by Saturday now.

Friday I’m back in the man van again!

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.
