Boonville, Missouri

We are relaxing at a casino in Boonville, Missouri. Getting ready to
go down to the buffett in a few minutets. Eat, ride, sleep, repeat.
Everything is going well.

Had a flat tire on the R6 today. We weren't on the freeway more than
probably 40 miles when the bike started feeling a little squirrely. I
thought it was because we were on grooved pavement, but the feeling
started getting worst. Just as I was getting ready to pull over, Jim
told me my tire was going flat. We had left after the pack but were
lucky in that the chase vehicle was running late. He showed up about
the time Jim was pulling out the tire patch kit. We loaded the bike
onto the trailer and had it taken to the nearest Yamaha dealer -
Brooks Yamaha in Manhattan, KS. They had a tire and got it put on in
just a few minutes. I'd recommend them to anyone passing through.

I keep forgetting to mention - Jim has a new biker name. He's been
dubbed Leatherman by some of the guys we've been riding with. Poor
guy - he won something during a raffle and when he walked up to get
it, the announcer told everyone, "Look who it is - Leatherman." So,
he's been Leatherman ever since.
