We did, at last, find a motorcycle made in the Tomahawk region, after being turned away from the Harley plant! This one was sitting by the side of US 51 on the north of Irma, WI, the nearest "town" when I was growing up. Note the trailer wheel half-buried in snow, giving you a clue that this monster is about six feet high! Note also that Sandy has captured evidence of that elusive northern Wisconsin atmospheric condition known as sunshine, and blue sky, and it stayed with us all the way to Albert Lea, MN, where we are tonight. (With the temperature in single digits outside!)
By the way, if you're hungry when traveling west on Highway 29 in west-central Wisconsin, try the Thorpedo restaurant in Thorp, WI. It's nonsmoking, with a big menu. Sandy and I ordered off the senior menu and had all we could eat, for less than $13 (bowl of soup, choice of potatoes, main event, vegetable, bun, coffee and ice cream for dessert). Service was not fast (we hit lunch-time exactly) but the lady was very pleasant and helpful. I had liver and onions (comfort food for this old badger) and the piece of liver filled the platter and was tender and tasty, with lots of onions. All on the senior menu! TV
