With strong head winds, I ran out of gas 4 or 5 miles short of a gas station. DJ and Tommy stopped to check on me.

DJ brought me a can of gas and I made sure they had enough coin to get back to Butler, MO. Tommy is warily checking out the traffic roaring by.

This Harley had a run in with a Buffalo. Check out the right saddle bag where the bull's horn punched right through.
