Kay, Bob, and I went down to Boerne, TX to see her nephew and on the way to there house, they leave in a gated community, the deer are abundant.

 Beautiful creatures that God has made, Yes, sometimes a nuisance to the home owners but it is against the law to shoot them so why not just look at them. We do.

These creatures can jump over a 10 foot fence given the space.

 Inman's Bar-B-Q in Llano, Texas on 29 and 71 puts out some okay BBQ.

 There pies are what we loved. Sorry no pictures of the pie. But they are homemade and that good. Pecan, apple, cherry.

My wonderful bride of 40 years, AKA, Bob, Kay Chapman. Awesome woman. We love our element.

 My wife and I decided that since it was bluebonnet season that we would go to the hill country.

 On Hwy 71 off Hwy 87 outside Brady Texas towards Austin, TX you can view these wonderful creatures. Texas Longhorns.

 The flowers were beautiful and so alive looking.

 The horns on these cows can cause some damage.

 They love the flowers.

 I am glad there was a fence between me and them.

I am sure they are gentle but I still kept my distance.

June 2014 trip to Anna, Texas to see grand kids.

 On June 2014 I needed to ride to Anna, Texas to see my grandkids as well as get my bike service. The rest stops in Texas are great. Clean, green, and meets the need at those times that nature calls.

 Farm land is becoming more distinct as you near Dallas. Farms going on the market as huge prices. Kids just don't want to farm.

 Cattle is great but as the land is sold so goes the cattle and malls will replace hay.

 Something about Texas and things being big. Take this 18 foot chicken. Can you see KFC.

Now, if I just can catch this thing and put it in my freezer.

North American Scooter Adventures Memorial Service McKinney, TX 2013.

On this day I visited my family in McKinney, TX and wanted to attend the Memorial Day Tribute which I did. It was very good and a time to remember those that have paid the price with their lives.

 We can never forget those that have gone before us. In their journeys they leave a rich history of the past.

 Men of old remembering yesterday and the uniforms with men of the present.

 Knights of Columbus.

 Bikers passing our water. It sure helped for it was hot but cloudy which helped.

 This historic Pecan Grove Cemetery was a beautiful place and the city keeps it looking good.

 Can never forget the flags that we stand under.

 Good group of people showed up for the one and one half hour presentation. That is from start to finish.

 I was amazed at these FireFighters from Plano, TX. They were awesome.

 The drums could be heard from anywhere in the park and sent chills up me. They were that good.

 From Confederates who also were remembered, they were soldiers too.

To the Americans who gave their lives for their beliefs and country. We remember.

Biker gear for commuting and distance riding.

 Riding in West Texas results in needing the proper riding gear. BMW type people like the pants, boots, gloves, jackets. These sometimes cost a lot and if you don't have that type of investment then you will need to look at alternatives.

 Quality helmet is a MUST. Pay the extra money and get a helmet that will be proper and be DOT certified. Gloves are a good investment and in West Texas when the heat index is 103 it is nice to have something on your hands that breath. Leather mesh gloves, First Gear. Work great.

 A closet full of helmts that now just set. I wonder why we never throw away these things, oh yeah, they have history and tell a story of our journey.

 I have a harley leather jacket that my wife bought in 1997 and I still wear it on the scooter. Nice thing about being old is you don't worry about looks. It is comfortable and offer protection. I also have an Olympia jacket, mesh summer wear, three season. Awesome jacket but hot in the high heat.

 Every biker dude needs bandanas and these come from Hobby Lobby. Work great.

I like many different colors as you can see, I am a visual type dude.

B-4, gets new luggage thanks to Wally Wordl and my dear wife.

 Still working on the scooter and thinking how I can get the right luggage on it. You know the kind that can be waterproof and still carry your items. Not to difficult to get on and off the scoot.

 Now I decided that I need reflective tape so that people can see me when they come upon me. Bought this at Low's and hope it works

 Wasn't to hard to stick on though I think my eyes are crooked but then again it is okay.

Finished product. Added some tape to the back of the scoot which I have named, you know guys don't name their rides but then again I am old so, my scooter B-4. Burgman 400. Now b-4 and I will travel America and though it is late in the season it is still a good time to go.
