    The GS850 took me out for a ride in the country today. The fields have firmed up.



    Still plenty of deep potholes on the dirt roads that jolt the bike, but the Shinko 705 does well for grip.

        Got a good ride in today about 335 miles in northern Arkansas. Wow, there are some nice motorcycling roads here.
        My Nebraska tires were looking rather smooth after today's ride but still enough tread for one more hard day tomorrow then it will be trailered back home where I have some new shinko 230's ready to spoon on.

        To all our riders that get to ride these roads everyday---you guys are some lucky SOB's. I just wish it wasn't 400 miles from my home.

          I had to re-read Redman's post to make sure he didn't write more than one year ('66). It's also a famous Route.

              Glad you're enjoying the new ride! If weather cooperates, I may do a VT ride later this week. You game to meet up for a loop? Maybe I'll get a test ride on the new UJM/Harley.

                  Actually I was looking at Friday. Looks warm and dry with less people on back roads on a weekday.
                  I was thinking of this route and area:

                      I know what you mean. I'd love to be riding now too. Showed up at my last appointment for the day and nobody's home.
                      Maybe he's a UPS guy!

                              The UPS man did finally show up. I love the way new tires perfumes the house! I did make it out for a little ride. I had to pull over to take this picture of the odometer rolling over to 48,000 miles. Can you spot what is wrong with this picture??

                                The bike is idling too high, it's in gear with the kick stand down and there is no oil in it! For god's sake, get that bike back to Japan into the hands of someone who will take care of it!
