    Rode to work this morning. Discovered i had no rear brake. Guess I'm done for the year. I think the rubber shrank from the cold and quit sealing in the master cylinder. The resevoir was full when i got to work.)

      Got out for a couple hours. Time for a restful slumber as she needs a little tlc, fork seals and a minor oil leak at distribution block. Still requires some final carb tuning but 7.5 lbs boost makes for a fun ride.

          Had to go to a training class today, so i happily left the work van home and took the cycle. Took a ridearound after class.

          Circus Drive In. I made many a trip here on my old 1100e.

            Ruidoso Aspen Fest motorcycle rally tomorrow. Trying to decide which Tour Master jacket to wear. My AirIntake or my Touring jacket. Expecting some rain up there. Hurricane Odile got us pretty wet here. Rained all this week. This morning we see the sun lol.

                Put in ~100 miles or so this afternoon once the sitter showed up. Nice 2.5 hour ride through beautiful northern NH. We are getting into the peak of the leaf foliage color season here. Not many pics but got these at a stop off outside Lancaster NH.

                  Only 80 miles today as we have a band competition to attend tonight. Stopped off at one of the covered bridges I showed last time in my other thread but I didn't get a good picture of it or the moving water wheel behind me:

                      No pictures, but i threw about 80 miles on the GS on some beautiful winding blacktop just north of KC. Perfect early fall day. Sunny, 75 and a light breeze and leaves just starting to turn.

                        Did a couple of hundred Km's with some friends yesterday. Managed to stay dry despite the clouds.

                          Did 287 miles to Ruidoso Aspen Fest bike rally. Not a good turn out this year. Way down on bikes from previous years. Pics to follow.

                            That over look looks quite similar to one we have here in Southern NM, Emory pass. I'll have to dig up a pic for the comparison. Emory pass is at 8,000, I doubt that is 8,000ft?
