Taking a 4th of July Motorcycle ride on our motorcycles wound us up in the little Midwestern town of Sanborn Iowa about 20 miles from Sibley. What we found was a quaint, clean town, with one of the best Military memorials I have seen located at their central park. They also have a web cam of it, so you can see it live. I will put their website in the links below. We found the coolest Vintage Phillips 66 Gas Station, antiques, rusted cars, and more. I hope you enjoy this bit of riding fun as we celebrated our Independence Day I mistakenly called it Decoration day, but that is really what Memorial Day is. In my opinion, all who kept us free, should be decorated anyway.
I hope you enjoyed this video and hope you all remember where we came from and those who made it possible for us to be here today doing what we want.
Semper Fi and best regards,

@freemarlochip Thanks. Yep after living and riding the freeways in Southern Cal for 50 years, With a helmet, this open country is a walk in the park. At least here, you can see the enemy coming a long way out. LOL. Thanks again for your concern and it is noted for sure.
