Chix on 66 – Day 8 Oklahoma City, OK to Amarillo, TX

Posted byKaran AndreaPosted inUncategorized

Friday June 17, Part One

Two of our chix, KA Miller and Judy Jacob, who couldn’t make the ride itself came by the hotel last night to meet up, and then stopped in again this morning.

Last night they brought a pick-a-nic basket full of goodies…. and a bottle of Patron. Wonderful way to cap off a fun but somewhat disappointing day. I was really hoping to be on my bike today, but it’s all forward motion.

Judy is local and put me on to a local motorcycle shop that she said would likely have my ignition. They didn’t open till 9 a.m., so I called at 9, and he had the ignition. Fabulous! So I hopped in the man van with Jason Sims and Jose Torres, and we headed out. Kiersten and Judy headed to the shop, got the ignition and met us further down the road.

With luck, my bike will run tonight.

Who DOES that? Go fetch a part and intercept down the road to make sure I keep going?! So grateful and humbled to be part of this motorcycle community….

Meanwhile I’m doing the man van tour of Route 66!

While we are waiting for the ignition verdict, I will share all the great photos I took today whilst riding in the man van. It was a great day for Route 66 sights!

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.
