Got pretty chilly up there heading into Morgan.  Temp in the mid 50s.

Got my motorcycle endorsement

 So I took a Basic rider course which involved an online and "on the handlebars" training.  It was good to get some feedback on what I need to focus on for a more controlled ride.   Here is a short clip of one of the tests:

Happy Fourth of July

 This morning I got up and went on a ride up to Pineview Reservoir via Ogden Canyon.  Then proceeded north to Eden.  Headed west up the mountain and down to North Ogden and continued west to an awesome little town called Warren.  

My goal was to see if there was a way to get to Promontory point without having to get to it from the North side.  I came to an Air Force gate and was unable to proceed.  Then south from there along the very west side of the valley.  

Made my way to Antelope Island entrance and just came home.  Ended up being just under 100 miles. Took about 2 hours or so and about a half tank.  What a fun ride exploring places I had no idea existed within 30 minutes of my house.

Later in the afternoon, Oliver asked if he could try riding the scooter.  So I took him over to the church to try riding, and maybe do some drills.  He whipped right through the easy drills, and got into the moderate skill drills.

Here is the Hot Air Balloon Drill:

And here he is performing it:

.      Well done!

Willard Bay ride on the Seadoo Fish Pro

 So I wanted to make sure the jetski is operational for when we go up to Bear Lake for girls camp in a couple weeks. Cleaned out the garage, and got it out and out on the water up at Willard Bay.  Need to take it out at least 4 times to make the annual state parks pass worth it.  

Riding past the Bison on Antelope Island

I bought a pass to Antelope Island for motorcycles.  I can take 3 other motorcyclists for free.  It's a nice ride out there.  Not much traffic.  I can just go at 55 mph and enjoy the breeze, and the scenery.  Here is me and Isaac trying to get past a Bison that just crossed the road.

Behind bike (low view) Insta360 shot

I bought a camera extension kit and mounted it behind the bike down low next to the road.  Not a fan of this perspective.  Can't even see me driving. But it's not a common point of view.  Here I am going down Gordon in Layton.

Dan Dan the Fireman

 So I've been watching a bunch of youtubes on Motorcyle safety and came across this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DanDanTheFireman

And he's an instructor and Motorcycle Training Concepts  He has a booklet of drills.  Here is Isaac and me practicing at the church parking lot:
