anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[Redman]

After three months of sitting on my arse just staring at the Bandit and wishing I could do something, I actually rode 5 miles today..
....

good
great
sounds like you were being reasonable, and did enough to have confidence in your ?Labor Day? schedule.

Well I finally got this old girl out for a loop around my favorite ride. Creston, Castlegar, New Denver, Kaslo, Creston bc.
Been a while since I rode any distance so sore butt by the time I got home.
The bike needed a lot of service as I have neglected it for a few years. Tires, brakes, fork seals, exhaust leaks, battery, valve lash( many thanks to the shim club!)etc.
I walked by it one too many times this past winter as we didn't go south for a holiday and decided I was riding this summer. So, I blocked it up and stripped it to a frame with an engine in it, ordered parts. While I was waiting for parts although she never said anything I got a lotta sideways looks from the wife,,,,,,
pic is looking up the Slocan Lake towards New Denver.

Hopefully now the only sideways looks from your wife will be her enjoying the scenery while riding with you.

That's a very familiar looking setup.

I had a little ride yesterday to meet an old friend for breakfast. After I left him, I decided to take the long way home, total of 120 miles and found this little recreational area which I had never stopped at before. Actually stopped there waiting on the rain to pass.

I really like your ST, Larry. That's still on my list of future bikes.

We had a bit of rain to cool things down today. Not a crazy downpour, just a steady light rain. I ran acrodd town to give my parents an anniversary gift. They've already enjoyed 51 years of wedded bliss! Pffft, yeah right, LOL.

Caught a rainbow before it faded away. It only lasted a few minutes and I by the time I found a spot for a pic, it was fading away. Sandia Mountains in the background.

Looks like you had a great time as usual. Also looks like that ES of Rob's doesn't like it. Didn't it fail on it's last trip up there when Kevin had it?

Yep...last year it was the stator when Kevin owned it..the starter went this year so he was bump starting it....then it started making an awful noise and done....valves if the guess...so he got it towed to Port hardy and then rented a uhaul to get it back to Victoria.....I didn't take my Cooley this year and took beemer....figured riding my Cooley to California in May I didn't want to push my luck...lol....Rob still managed to have fun....

My wife and I took a 5 day trip to Tennessee last week, got to ride the Dragon on the '82 GS1100EZ... lots of great riding and beautiful scenery in that area.

It's for sale Roger. Actually I can show it to you in person when I take it to Arizona in Oct./Nov. I'll let you know when I come through ABQ as I would like to meet you perhaps for coffee somewhere.

Trevor, do I spot a Honda ST in your group? Maybe a ST1100/1300? Who is the rider? A member here or not?
