Bikerscum - Patrick St. Jean

We're in Altoona, IA celebrating Reese's birthday by swimming in the hotel pools and getting ready to ride the rides at Adventureland tomorrow. more »

After a good night's sleep and some breakfast I hit the road for Peoria. The weather was hot, hot, hot, and getting stuck in traffic stinks. I had to tear down the shoulder just north of St. Louis because the bike was about to overheat, then bushwhack… more »

I hit the road today, riding up to Springfield, MO on the first leg of the ride up to Peoria for Reese's birthday fun. The bike performed great, no problems with anything but the Zumo. For some reason every route recalculation forced it to shut off. S… more »
