    We and a few others, got on our steeds and rode from Hilary's Boat Harbour down to Fremantle Port Western Australia, in aid of a charity run for Prostrate Cancer. The Distingushed Gentlemans Ride finished behind a pub, Clancys, and prise were handed out for the best dressed, the nastiest villian etc.
    and when I mean a few there were 271 riders of both genders, and all age groups.
    And I found another Gs850 in the crowd, much loved and high milage and the owner just loves it.
    I'd add a photo, but the new software update to my Ipad has confused itself, and totally crapped out.

      Nice to see this event making it on GSR in at least two places. Trevor and Andrew are doing the DGR in Victoria BC, Canada today. I must be the only DG in my part of the country?

        took the t500 to nearby letchworth state park.



        did a little off trail hiking down by the river. i don't think i've ever been to this exact spot before. great place to smoke some of the halflings weed.



        then downstream about .5 mile and up hill about 100 feet. there were a couple people kayaking. you may be able to pick them out in this lousy cell phone picture. the cliffs shown are probably 200 to 300 feet high.

                My daughter Cheyenne and I went out for about 25 miles today but didn't take any pictures. She did a lot better in her riding today and I wish I could have gone longer with her but I confirmed I have an oil leak from a half moon. I'm thinking I might not have cleaned it up well enough after the valve adjustment I did a few weeks ago and will fix it tomorrow.

                    Sunday I took a spin up the coast road then took the dirt road across back to the main road that only took a couple of hours, it was a fun mix of environments, I didn't go too far because I had not topped the fuel off or taken any water as it was a spur of the moment decision. Just a snap at the beach a few miles away on the way out.

                    Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

                        Did about 100 miles on Sunday in a memorial ride for my brother in law. The orange chopper in the video/pics is the bike he was building before he passed. His brothers have taken responsibility of finishing it and getting it road ready. Plans are to hand it down to my 13 year old nephew when he's old enough and ready for it.

                        Video is a little long and nowhere near professionally edited. I did what I could with it... lol

                          Interesting rack you have on your 1100. It doesn't look like a stock item. Did you fabricate it?

                          I'm not a chopper fan, but that one looks quite nice. Simple enough, and not overdone.

                            It came with the bike, so I dont know if stock or custom... Rack actually contains a backrest for the passenger as well, but I've removed it. I'm removing the rack as well. I plan on making the bike look a little more Cafe Racer style...

                              Minority on this Oyster day. I was at least 30 miles away from Annacortes. Funny the group thing, minimum of six people per group. drinking nasty budweiser and coors light.
                              Had a longer ride planned, but a flat spot turned up at partial throttle, so I kept it short on the boinger.
                              GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES
