Stratoliner, eh? Do you still own it? I just sold my Roadliner S a few months back. I put a full fairing and stereo on it and added a tour trunk along with the stock Yami leather covered hard bags. I had big plans for touring on it but that never panned out. Those Stratoliners/Roadliners are great bikes... and the 113 c.i. engines pull like a beast.

Isn't the the evolution of the Gen I VMax motor? Or, is a total redesign?

If memory serves, the Vmax was a V4 that started as a 1200 and grew to a 1700 with the last gen. The Stratoliner and Roadliner is a Vtwin 1900. I could be wrong about the Vmax though. My memory isn't what it used to be.

Strat went for an Indian Roadmaster because it had a better backseat. Then “WE” rode the Venture at STAR Days in Utah. Had one 10 days after we got home because the pillion was better still. Has a detuned 1900 motor.
Had it and the Tenere at the meet up last weekend.
Exploring some more gravel roads in Northern IL. One was named Twist Road, so you got to take it right?
It headed into a forest reserve area, and all of a sudden I come across this Grist Mill.
The visitors center was open so I walked in. The staff person explained that it was my lucky day, as the last Saturday of every non-winter month they will fire the mill up for a demonstration. I said that sounds great. The actual grist stones were enclosed but you could see the top one spinning through the grain feed.
Mostly took videos, so I can't post those here. Down stairs were all the gears, belts and pulleys.
This mill was reconstructed in the 90's. I learned that the phase "Nose to the grind stone" comes from keeping the flow of the grain slow and steady. If too much is fed in it will start to bind and burn, raising a stink, and ruining the product.

It was a Forest Preserve area with trails. There was a horse based RV park right across the road. I took an unplanned route, and actually had to double back since I wanted to check out the area. Glad I did.

Toured a very similar mill in Minnesota about 15 years ago, it was one of those historic restoration things, it wasn’t able to run yet but the plan was to have it running again in a couple years, for me it was a pretty interesting place, there’s another cool looking mill about 70 miles from where I live but so far I’ve not been inside that one yet.

First ever real long distance moto trip last month. Journeyed to the Four Corners, U.S. First time moto camping also (I'm hooked!). The S10 was rock solid. Awesome trip with awesome friends!

All photos taken late July 2021 dodging rain showers, thunder and lightning.

I'd rather be dry and warm at work than riding the mountains in the rain. SAID NO ONE EVER!
and then He said let there be less rain and more sunshine and great shadows in the distance, let there be very few tourists and even less traffic and so it was and it was all good.

Hi to all, hope everyone had great weekend.
Yesterday I had a ride through a town call Villas del Carbon and had the chance to stop to a small dam name "presa del Llano" and had great time in the way home I had a heavy rain with hail, I had to drive at max 30 MPH, the hail hurt at such speed finally I got home safe. I will show you some pictures of my trip.
This was the roads of the ride:
Some pictures taken at the dam:
Nice place in the State of Mexico, very close to Mexico City
To all, have a very nice week!
