At least I’ve been getting lots of rides in. Got a 10,000 mile service coming up on this beauty. All that, and the Concert Series, of course. Needless to say, I miss Jack but hey, we soldier on… right?

Size does matter sometimes….
Nice ride Jorma,
Always keep the shiny side up and “Never ride faster than your Guardian Angel can fly.”
Looking forward to the show.
Stay Safe

Sometimes tires like that provide superior performance on sweltering asphalt ,but not on a wet surface.
I don’t have to tell anybody ,it’s just Enviromental awareness .I believe most motorcyclists have it ,it’s only rubber and road.
Have been enjoying rides on my motorcycles during Covid as well. From the look of your rear tire, it may be that it needs replacing. I had mine changed at 8000 miles. I was told that 3500 is about the average life for a rear tire and twice that for front tire. That’s what I was told anyway, but who knows if they were just trying to sell tires?
Anyway taking country rides on the bike is a great way to enjoy life particularly in this environment.
Enjoy!
Hey Andy… Yeah, I know it looks like a cheater slick but there’s still over a quarter of an inch to the wear marks. I’ll have the guys at the shop put the gauge on it when I get it serviced next week. You gotta do what you gotta do, but that’s a pricey bit of rubber. Bike tires are funny. Sometimes they’re good in the morning and done by dinner.
I know this ain’t likely to happen with no live audience (and for other reasons), but the mention of “Turn My Life Down” reminded me of the awesome singalong of “White Rabbit” at The Tabernacle. Kudos to Jorma and Jack for not stopping, and the audience – mainly the women, of course – really stole the show on that one. Truly nailed it.
Really nice ride Jorma!
Been having wonderful weather this summer in the Northeast.
Here in the Catskills it’s been sunny with warm days and cool, crisp nights almost everyday. Just love living in the mountains.
Can’t wait til Friday and Saturday.
@MarkD
Star Track, Water Song, Mann’s Fate, New Song (for the Morning), Watch the North Wind Rise, Smokerise Journey, … on and on
I’m not a biker and don’t speak the lingo–so Jorma’s response in the comment section was entirely unintelligible to me. But that’s one cool bike.
Blessings to you and your entire family. In the midst of this pandemic, and as a nurse, I appreciate the music you make. It steadies us. Music is a healing force. Thank you Jorma.
And just to add my favorite song written by anyone, anywhere at anytime…In The Kingdom. Followed closely by Corners w\o Exits, Invitation,,,the list keeps growing!
Stay well,
MD
@Bill Kirk
I agree – Jorma, you have written so many great songs! Thank you!

I’m surprised it didn’t win best album .
Tuned in a little late on Saturday but thankfully in time for that smokin’ version of “After Midnight!” Move over JJ and EC and make room for JH / JK as we now have another incredible version of that classic. Thanks for another great show.
rich lol g
Jorma, thanks very, very much for reviving all of these older songs! They all mean a lot to us older fans. I know it took some effort to relearn them. Like you’ve done in recent years with Barroom Crystal Ball, Wolves and Lambs, Roads & Roads &…, Corners wo/Exits, Letter to the North Star, Song for the North Star, Flying Clouds, Sleep Song & others, I hope songs like Soliloquy for 2, Great Divide Revisited, Song for the High Mountain, Highway Song and Song for the Stainless Cymbal all find their way on to future set lists. You are truly a GREAT SONG WRITER!!!
Our two cats have attended all 15 shows. They are waiting for Tom Cat Blues. True tour warriors.
We have two 1200 sportsters 2003&2015 , both fuel injected & a 99 soft tail custom ( last year of true carbs), it has same properties ,rear wheel will occasionally run over you .Lots of torque
Just a couple of quick comments on numero 15. It was so sweet to hear Vanessa sing with you. That song in particular was very poignant. We’re all waitin’ in line. Regarding Turn My Life Down, it might be my favorite song on Volunteers and that says a lot given the rest of the album. I consider that album and Crown of Creation to be masterpieces. It’s a tall order to fill Marty’s vocal shoes to mix a metaphor. I hope you work it up. Finally, others said it already but that is one badass ride you’ve got there.
Soft tail custom?
Vance Hines pipes?
Looks like screaming eagle carb ,do you believe the SE carb to be superior to S&S?
Looks like a torquey low ride.,that back tire will support it
That’s a 2016 CVO Breakout… everything on it is Screaming Eagle from the factory. 110 ci motor. Dyno’d out at 115 HP and 115 foot pounds of torque. What you see is a cold air intake. It’s fuel injected… they all are these days. Inverted forks and all kinds of other sexy poop. Except for the inverted fork tubes, everything is blacked out. No cables. Everything is either hydraulic or fly by wire. For a 700 pound motorcycle… it is very fast. Yes, it is a softtail. The new Milwaukee 8’s are a more modern frame design, but this one is mine. 🙂
Nice ride. Enjoy the day, you have certainly earned it
