anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[dorkburger]

Don't exactly know. I found it that way when I stopped. The rubber stalk separated from the plastic housing, leaving the light hanging from the wires.

Went for a quick ride today. I've only had the bike for about 2 weeks now.

Welcome to GSR.

Interesting photo.


THat a 850 ...? Black? (cant really tell, only see the shadow side of the bike.) Maybe the maroon.

Do introduce yourself more (typically in "Owners" section), and post a couple more pics.

>>later note.
Now suspect that the marroon, and bye the colors of the stripes is an 80 ... like the one I had for 14 years, with the same/similar grips.

Do you always ride sideways??? ;-)

Headed out this afternoon with clouds like this


Only got sprinkled on twice and found some wet roads once where had been raining before.

Found the River Rd still closed for construction, so allowed for this.

Took out the ES for the first time in months. since maybe May.
It was sputtering last time I rode it.
All plugs looked fouled preride, changed them out, turned in a/f screws 1/2 turn, bike seemed happy.

Went for an evening ride before a thunderstorm rolled in. I was trying to catch a distant lightning strike in the pic. The low light I thought made for a cool effect, and the power pole off in the distance, which I didn't notice until later, looks like a really tall cross.

our crew at the poags hole hillclimb. it rained early in the day and so approximately 2000 harleys failed to show up. saw some of the best side by side races up the hill that i've ever seen.

Side by side hillclimb, that is something I havent seen.
I have been to Mt. Garfield National Hillclimb (nearby to here) a few times.
But was always one a bike at a time.
(For the nationals, they cut two different trenches across the hill with birms so have to jump them.)

Very good 5 minute vidio from this year.

300 and some feet.
that hill is so steep that cant walk it, have to climb or crawl, well, just lean forward just a little to crawl.

Finish line is now down some from the top of the hill.

In early 80s the finish line was at the top of the hill, and I saw a few go flying out of sight over the top. And I was told that a few went over the top and crashing down the back side.

2 and 1/2 minute vidio that shows the hill and grounds better in opening scenes.

Gus, Nice trip with your grandson.
Any particular significance to that specific high school...?

Great pics, Gustov.
Nice to see a teenager wanting to spend time with his grandfather.
Can't think of a better way to do it than the wonderful world of motorcycles.

Vince, great to see you sharing your passion with your grandson. We just had our granddaughters for 2 weeks. Spend a week camping and hiking in Waterton NP (other side of the border from your Glacier NP) and then a week at home mountain biking and kayaking. Unfortunately they're showing no interest in the motorcycle thing at all. Missed you at the rally this year Bro.
