victorontour

Early summer evening with bright clear sky that you never see in the south. Reminds me of Sweden when I am in the upper midwest, it always does. . We finished the festival early in Saginaw and headed west toward a lake house 80 miles away for two days off. . I can appreciate some ski doos and a small lake, but I am a city man at heart so I rolled out the bike from the trailer and headed to Chicago where my buddy Jim from the Buffett band had a suite at the Ritz Carlton. I don’t think the front desk staff there is used to rained out, wet bikers with dead bugs all over their face….I quite enjoyed the whole scenario. Walked along the lakeshore, shopped and did some inner city riding. In the middle of the night 36 hours later the tour bus came through to swallow me and the bike in downtown Chicago like a hungry monster.

So here is my blog. The starting point is that on tour this year I am bringing my Victory motorcycle on tour.  I mostly do shows with singer Randy Houser. I was originally going to post updates on the online Victory motorcycle forum as I hopefully will meet and ride with fellow enthusiasts from around the country, but decided that since my family and friends back in Sweden never have gotten the chance to closely keep up with me on my travels, I want to give them the opportunity to do so as well.  So here it is out in the open. Occasionally there might be opinions/pictures posted here that might be offensive to some people. There will inevitably be lots of motorcycle talk and bass (not the fish) talk, so if you are not interested in that…just skip down and more general travel observations are likely to followJ With that in mind, here we go.
