anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

That's interesting Steve I thought it was just my imagination but my Z seems to prefer the cool air too....

It has always been that way but this year with the pods it seems to be more pronounced.

Fall colors mostly yellow and brown.

We have bits of color here and there, so I took a rather short ride after work today to show a couple of trees in my neighborhood.
Had to catch them quick, before the leaves got blown off.





Wish the ride could have been longer, but there is too much to do at home.

Ive been exploring the southern Vancouver Island roads as weather permits.
Its been pretty misty/wet for a month at least.
From a guy whoz lived from one end of Vancouver Island to the other now.
Always in a sports car or a powerful bike.
Easy formula.
ANY road that goes East/West on the Island is one non stop series of managable sporty type corners.
Seriously fun.
Riding a hot rodded Bandit 1200 while I get my GS1100E upgraded.
Lower Island back roads out to Sooke.
Lower Island out to Cowichan Lake.
Mid Island out to Tofino(omg, hell ya.).
Mid Island out to Gold River.(top 3 lifetime).
Upper Island out to Port Alice(top 1or 2 easy).
All of them so tight its hard to get carried away speed wise that you couldnt survive at least a low side.(?!).
You cant have a bad ride going across the Island.

The Southern tip of Vancouver Island a week or so ago.

This is my fav spot on the Island.
Had to hike into this spot.

Played hooky from work and took the bike out to Chesapeake Bay. This is the longest trip I've been on and it was awesome!

I ran into these two bikes at my favorite bar last weekend. On the left is a 94 CB1000 the guy bought for $400. On the right is a pretty nice custom build: 91 Nighthawk 750 frame and motor, CBR front forks, VFR single sided swingarm, and Yamaha XS650 tank (I think). The guy did all the work himself except for the seat. It was his first day out.

I got a similar picture several years ago.

Just after passing this sign:


I got this shot:


To give you an idea where that is:

I went for a ride today, but just to my mechanic's shop. He loves to shoot the breeze and I needed something from his shop. No pictures, still in the 90s here, so not the most comfortable ride.

Lots of bare trees, lots of brown leaves, only a few red trees.
Rare sunny day in November in Michigan.


And a fairly clear day could provide an interesting sunset.

How about a pic.

TL1000r front end, Hyabusa rear shock, Yoshi muffler, Pods/K&N StageIII, HiComp pistons(the 2001 Bandit came with too big oil ring groove holes and most burnt oil), Triumph Headlight, taillight tuck/led's.
With the clip ons the riding position is quite sporty, I will add flat bars and a Fly screen, and think it's perfect.
