After an extended period of work on the East Coast I finally got back for a few days and took the RS out for a casual ride this afternoon on 150W from Champaign upto Farmer City, IL. I spotted a Harley but nothing else on the the way out and nothing on the way back. It snowed here a couple of days ago but it was just under 60F today. Perhaps people have started winterizing already.

Here, in the middle of PA, it was 80~85 last weekend, this weekend we didn't touch 55 until the clouds broke at 4:30P on Sunday afternoon. Something in the middle would be nice.

Lucky guy :)
33 F right now with light snow in southern Iowa.

We were planning to leave for SE Missouri then NW Arkansas today but will probably wait until Tuesday morning.

I�m still riding and I know Bub is getting ready to leave for a trip out east, so there are a few of us still on the road. You were close by but I usually head west from Bloomington when riding local.

Yep, heading SE on Wednesday for the North Carolina coast to spend time with my son stationed at Camp Lejeune. My son who graduated from Farmer City high school, so I was hoping when I saw the title to this thread I wasn�t going to read some derogatory comments about that metropolis.

No derogatory comments whatsoever- I enjoyed riding down N. Main St. Besides Enger Brothers of Farmer City, IL are a terrific plumbing company. I'm driving back to DeeCeet tomorrow and I hope to get another ride in when I return in early November. Stay cool all.

I should have put a smiley face or wink after my post, I was joking about Farmer City being a metropolis, though it is a nice little town. Glad you�re still getting some riding in.

The name includes the word City, I mean, doesn't that mean it's a metropolis?

Note the raceway at the north end of the city.
