anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

I'll keep you posted. I like to ride down the Taconic to the border of the city and back for speed runs. Jersey isn't too far out from there. I'll keep you posted. Goal this season is to put some more faces to names on this board.

Sound good. Im in the middle of NJ where the riding isnt terribly exciting. The northwest part of the state has some decent (by NJ standards) roads to ride.

well I didn't quite get 500 miles... But I did get a nice 150 miles on today. got m,y bike inpected at my favorite local shop (and in VT terms local is anything in a 60 mile radius). I was the first motorcycle inspection of the 2015 season. I love these guys at Pro Cycle. take great care of me and my machines. It was nice to catch up and they were excited to know I was only 35 miles down the street now. 48' today but balmy. The wind wasn't very nice but I did get some time to be more acquainted with the B-King.

As you can see the BK was the only Motorcycle in the shop...

Good to hear the boys at Procycle hgave hgad a stellar winter season with all the snow we got. But they said it was a breath of fresh air to do a 2 wheel'd vehicle in the shop.

I then did a full circumference around Addison county. Great day for it. BK is a little dirty but she loves it. I also have allot of Go-Pro footage I'll compile later.




I got called in for qwork again tonight... Another 60 hour work week in the works. I'm really not impressed by this. Oh well it's all be the Over time hour...

More to come we have another Highs 40's day tomorrow!!!!

Hey Jedz123, when you get the Bandit back, it may seem a bit primitive compared to that B-King.

[Jedz123]

Lurch, Nothing wrong with primitive! The B-King is in its own realm or Brutality and comfort... More buttons then the frickin space shuttle. The B-12 is very much anticipated! I find with my age, Oil cooled simplicity is a nice option.

that's the place just south of rutland right? that's my favorite vermont bike shop! i had to get my chain fixed there while we were rallyin' like a mutha.

Yup, Pete and Matt have been helping me keep my bike's on the road when I first started riding with my riddled with issues GS750L(before I knew of GSR). Good cats and I go to no one else when I need an inspection. I also try to buy anything I need through them to help my local bike shop. I use to swap service for pizza when I ran the Rutland Sbarro. Great guys, I have nothing but great report with them.

Well, I actually got my collector plate today so and figured it needed a short test ride to make sure it wouldn't fall off. Short meaning about 100km., I just couldn't help myself. This is a favourite local lake about 15 minutes from the house. Horrors, I actually got some dirt on it. Don't tell Trevor. Ride was successful, no leaks, runs fine, fixed the front end wobble I noticed before the tear down and everything seems to work great. Woohoo, nothing else fell off either. Other than a little buzz from the fairing at 4,000 rpm the operation looks like a success. This thing feels sooooooo much more nimble than my '79 GS1000, amazing what 5 years will do.

Sandy, the bike looks great.

[Sandy]

Thanks, even better that everything works.

Sandy, the bike looks great.

No ride today...on off rain in the afternoon. But I saw a great rainbow today.
Double one...pics don't do it justice.

Looks fantastic! I am so envious! I was wondering just how nimble one would be.

I guess you'll find out in June.

[trevor]

Looks great Sandy, even with the dirt on it! Are you coming over in May to Cliff's on it?

[Jedz123]

Sandy What an Awesome Pic!!! I really like the blue and white GS750EF. IT'S NOT DIRTY! LOL

I made a video of the video compiled on 3-10-15

Ride Video for Yesterday 3-11-15

Great ride yesterday Sun was out and it was near 50' F! I grabbed about 150 miles and called it off.
Here's a great picture of the bike parked in front of Methodist Church in West Addison Built in 1840. I'll try to take pics in front of cool historic sites.

I actually can't wait to get the GR out but it's going to be a few months. Still allot of brine on the roads. The GSX took a bath when I got home.
