      Hey my bike is rolling again! Which means I am riding it the three miles to the dentist, and to lunch, as well!

          Sorry, no pics, too busy riding, and riding very fast

          Ok, I had my 1100G out Saturday, and my GSX7/1100 out Sunday.
          Enjoyed the G very much, visiting clients and giving estimates. Did some drags away from stop signs.
          Sunday I was ripping away at some particular freeway exits, jumping to light speed between car groups on the interstate.
          PS: the G can be pushed just as hard as the GSX, if I want to.

            Bill, you're G is sooo cool!
            This weekend and tonight I did a few errands on the bike. Nothing worth photographing. Just short rides, but long enough to know the new positioning of the handlebars is horrid. I could feel stress on my elbows quickly. Such a big difference a small change can make. I adjusted them to close to where they were, but leaving enough room to barely clear the tank. Maybe I'll check it out tomorrow night.

              Church parking lot, Redbud trees blooming along Cracker Neck Rd. If you need to pull over, you can always find a church lot in this area.


              Found a place a little up the road to pull by the creek.

                Nice job, kerrfunk!

                I've acquired another luggage rack and I want to utilize it without the backrest...Like you got.

                Thanks for sharing a pic of your "L" Kerry and also to those who post in this thread.

                  Yup things are blooming like crazy down here. We are in a suburb of Knoxville, TN. And that is a 1999 Trophy 900, not a Sprint.

                    Baatfam, I realized that after I hit the button. I believe there is a Sprint Executive that has bags? Its cool again up here, but if the sun is out,its nice. I'll get out this week and post a pic of mine.

                      Although I made a quick trip to Steve's to resolve a brake question, I had more fun watching this young lady actually ride her motorcycle. Although we are still staying in a parking lot for now, she was able to successfully handle her bike getting into second and third gears; she even recovered from a missed shift that I didn't know she missed.

                      Riding in first gear and power walking around the turn



                      Later getting into second gear

                        Those redbud trees really stand out early in the season around OH, KY and WV during my travels through this week.

                            Redbuds are great trees but it will probably be 4 weeks until the one in my front yard blooms.

                                So after another evening in the parking lot practicing shifting, turning, and emergency stops, Charmayne rode her bike back to our garage. She did well and definitely rode her own ride; although I kept it at 35ish (road is 45mph), she chose to hang back. Since she has plans tomorrow evening that will prevent much riding, we will get out on Friday since I took the day off.

                                Mom took this picture as we turned out of the church parking lot where we practiced
