After unloading it off of the truck, four hours of effort and changing parts,
I got this one running for the first time in about a year and a half.
So, I took it for a test ride.

Went for a short ride this afternoon before the SuperBowl. Stopped by LarryD's place, chatted with him for a while, rode around a bit more, stopped by the store and came home. I have never been on 2 rides in February since I moved to this god-forsaken frozen arctic tundra. I love it, I just hope we don't pay for it later in the year. I gotta put my camera in my tank bag.

Got out today for a 140km (85mi) ride up island with a couple of buddies to meet Rob who has a 1980 Yamaha 850 triple. Temp was around 8 (46) degrees in Victoria a liitle cooler up in Cowichan. Great day for Feb. 5th! This is a pic of my buddies 2011 Kawa 1400. Very nice!

Yes Glenn has some tough decisions to make when he goes out for a ride!

Very true! I've managed to hold back from bringing out the big 'hog' so far!

First time ever Feb ride in MN for me.

I went for a ride, did some grocery getting and went to the credit union at Crow Wing Power Co-op. When I left my house, it was 39.6 *F, and when I got home the temp was down to 29* F. It was still at 40 when I left the credit union (25 miles south of my house). I could see the dark grey clouds in the distance to north, and the north wind was blowing at about 30 mph. 10 miles up the road I ran into the cold front, and all it did was get colder the further north I traveled. Pictures? Yep, but these are the ones while it was still warm. I wanted to get the tag for the riding game, but we don't have flea markets in da' winter months.

Empty flea markets will work.

Rode the bike to work today, then went out Sidney to pick up my favorite bike mag Practical Sportbike. 9 (48) degrees today and sunny. Put on 110km (65mi). I heard Environment Canada issued an official opology for getting the weather forcast so wrong. They said it was going to be the coldest winter in 20 years!! Not only has it not been but it has been the warmest in 20 years! This was taken by the fish market on the pier over looking the Pacific.

I enjoyed a 65-mile one-way ride yesterday (and back), mid-thirties to mid-forties. It was mostly interstate, but I hadn't been on the bike for quite a while, so it was just plain nice to ride.

Took the GS1100 out for a 100 mile roundtrip ride today to Titusville to visit some old friends.
On the way, this big gopher tortise jumped out in the middle of the road in front of me , and I had to do some really quick thinking to avoid hitting him!
Since I didn't want him to get hit by a crazed cager I pulled over and put him in the grass where he began to eat everything in sight.



I decided at the half way point to stop and get some gas, while I was there this guy pulled up on a '80 Yamaha XS1100 Special. I chatted with him awhile and he said this bike was one of three he had and was in the worst condition of all of them. But to tell you the truth, this is one clean motorcycle. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. The bike looked new, down to the gauges. This is the equivalent to our L models. But a really nice example of this particular model.


Great weather! Just a good day to get some riding in, lots of bikes on the roads, bike week is coming!
