      Yes we are lucky. One of the only places in Canada that you can ride all year. Winter time highs are around 10 (50) degrees. We rarely get snow and if we do it does not last long. Summer time average high is 24 (80) no humidity and no mosquitoes and bugs! And everyone thinks it rains a lot here, which it can in the winter but we average 50% less rainfall then Seattle and Vancouver but don't tell anyone.

                Quite warm this morning, low 50s.
                Heavy cloud. 50% chance rain.

                Rode to breakfast, and out and around for a while.


                State Park. WHen we say "State Park" here, that pretty much means "the beach".

                So, will mean less beach/sunset photos from me.

                See the little bit of curb there in front of bike?
                That is how much sand has blow in the roadway, and that was just the few days since the park closed.


                .

                      Thanks Mark, I got lucky on this on $1700 is what I paid. I think I did well. Always wanted one these bikes. Funny, I looked at this bike on usedvictoria for over a month before I went to look at it. I was turned off big time by the solid blue colour.

                        I went to take the GS1100E out for a ride, put some winter air in the tires, lubed the chain, charged the battery, started it up, and........... as I pulled the clutch lever in to put it in gear the clutch cable gave, no snap, just easily pulled and did not spring back . Checked terminal ends, no fraying, oh well. So.......... I put it back in the garage and took off on the
                        1000, sometimes it's nice to have two bikes. Luckily I have a brand new GS1100E clutch cable somewheres . I'll save wrenching that for another day!

                            Upper 60s today.
                            Near 70, in November, in Michigan.
                            So should go for ride regardless of the high wind and threat of rain.

                            Buzzed up US 31, north to muskegon, which is Bubby Land, and continued to North Muskegon, Land of Greg78GS750. SHould have called them, but headed out on short notice.

                            Had to stop and take liner out of jacket.


                            THen decided to go west to the lakeshore. Is interesting road there thru wooded dunes, and along the Lake. Is a couple places right next to lake.










                            THough might be something of sunset if sun happened to break thru a thin spot in cloud cover.
                            Nope, did not happen.


                            And to keep wifey happy, stopped and got some of her favorite popcorn. Yah, gas station popcorn.
