    Ha, no speed runs for me. The bicycle rarely goes above its first 7 gears...
    Feels like fall this morning. Putting in my jacket / pants liners now for when I go out today to do some errands later. (On the motorcycle)

          Closing the pool today. The local pool store is a highway robber. The one a few towns away is not, and a nice ride. Saw a nice 750T at a shop and quickly got off of the highway to check it out. Turns out it belongs to Pb9717. We had a nice talk. The bike looks real nice.

            Dorkburger, your bike don't lean far on the sidestand. Maybe the springs are weak or soft?

              Bill, thanks for looking out... yes, the shock / springs are on the longer term list of things to do.
              That being said, neither 1150 I've owned never leaned as much as my old 1100e. It looks more pronounced in that pic- Pb's 750 was sitting on a slight incline, mine was not.
              I NEVER let the kids sit on the bike unless it's on its centers and due to its lack of lean.... fear of a tip over scares me.

                  I agree that the 750T is one fine looking bike.

                    Morning ride, not the speedy kind. Only did 11 miles, as I'm out of cycling shape.

                          I know... You guys are not good for bike buying influence....

                          I need to do more exercise though, being a desk jockey is not good for mid section or a$$.

                            So I took the Non-runner out for a 20 mile run.... It runs but it's definitely burning oil. Oh well. I think I'll part this one out or sell complete. I'll post an add.

                            Anyway its still fun!

                              Rode the 850 up to Anacortes for the annual oyster run. ~10,000 Harleys and a couple dozen other bikes. My first time, a must-do if you are in the PNW. Stopped my my new bike buddy Jack's house to look at his collection.
