Danny lives and rides in central Illinois which is nicknamed "the Prairie State," marked by farmland, forests, rolling hills and wetlands. Best seasons to ride are: Spring, Summer, and Fall. Illinois has a mid-continental climate that varies widely throughout the year: very warm, humid summers and cold winters.
One of Danny’s favorite areas to ride is near Alton, IL which is about an hour from his home. Alton is on the Mississippi River and its river town history from 1818 is all about the Mississippi River. This region is characterized by a dramatic, varied topography defined by steep limestone bluffs, deep river valleys, and karst features. Situated along the Mississippi River, the terrain heavily dictates its layout, resulting in distinct geographic zones and challenges from back country roads with many curves, and long straights in the flood zone areas.
Danny does ‘slow-down’ to take in the beautiful scenic vistas as he exercises his 2024 Aprilia Touno 660 in the curves and on the straights along the Mississippi. His Aprilia handles the diverse roadways with ease. Danny enjoys taking a ferry across the Mighty Mississippi to run down the backroads on Missouri’s side and ferry back again to the Illinois side to stop for a rest-bit at his favorite bar known as ‘Fast Eddies’….a very appropriate name, because nothing is ‘slow’ about the riders at this saloon!
