For our bike trip today Brock, Steve and we decided to explore the northern boundary of Washington. Our route started at Chimacum on the far right, along US 101 to Port Angelus, then on CR 112 all the way to the Pacific Ocean. We decided that the 240-mile (there and back) meander would take all day.
By 9 am Steve, Brock, Duane and I were on the road headed west. (Cathy and Leola were willing but unable to make such a long trip.)
The weather and the scenery were beautiful. We were all enjoying the ride until
about 30 miles down the road our battery light came on. Uh oh. The last time that happened (before we left Texas in May) when Duane turned off the engine it didn't start again. A new battery seemed to have fixed the problem until today. We bid the guys good riding and turned for home.
After some calling around Duane found Destination Harley-Davidson in Silverdale had time to take a look. After a quick lunch we were on the road for a short 30-mile ride south to Silverdale. Unfortunately about 10 miles down the road we were stopped for 10 minutes for road work. 5 miles later the battery was dead. Eagle could no longer fly. 😞😞😞
It was a good thing Leola decided to stay home. She was glad to come to our rescue. When they travel, the Spyder rides in the back of the truck. Leola and Duane had poor Eagle resting comfortably there in a few minutes and after another 15 miles we had arrived in Silverdale.
