        Rolled 1000 miles on the Monkey swap, nice little ride today. I'm locked inside here for the rest of the weekend, Momma is out of town.
        cheers.

            One man's dirty is another man's perfectly acceptable... I am down to one GS and it scares me. I might need a DR too...

                Celebrated number 51 by riding to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green KY with a friend on his Harley and my wife and kids in the car. They both made their way home and I’m on my way to meet up with Scott Marvin tomorrow.

                I’ll post pictures when I get home Tuesday.

                  Been cold and/or rainy, and two days had snow accumulation, since we got back home. But the rain was good that washed roads clear of salt residue.
                  Scraped frost this morning, but got up to 50degF this afternoon.
                  GOt out GK for an hour and half ride.
                  Man, I like how this bike feels - wide enough bars that just leaning seems to impart some countersteering.

                  Its first outing this season. It's third time out since the rebuild (that involved nearly 18months of sitting dissasembled).

                  Have already had the RT out a couple times and the Shadow500 a few times, and the GK was demanding to be riden to the same places and to pose for pictures so it didnt feel slighted.
                  It is nicer looking anyway.

                      They're really "transforming" the downtown area here.

                        That's cool, Roger. A year round display or is there a convention in town?

                          That's a good question. It's really close to the convention center so maybe they're to promote an event.

                          A closer look really is needed to appreciate the work that went into these guys. Just amazing!

                          Your grand nephew would get a real kick out of seeing these.

                            A neighbor friend needed to get a few of his bikes some exercise yesterday. I gladly helped him out.

                            1989 Ninja ZX10 was first. Only a short ride, maybe a couple of miles. A bit smaller and lighter than my FJR. Man this engine can rev!



                            Next was his 2009 Versys 650. Very comfortable upright riding position. Fun zip around town bike. I didn't like trying to find the shift lever with my foot and how much effort it took to get into gear. Guess I'm just spoiled with the smoooooth shifting GS.



                            Next was a Vulcan 900

                            This was my favorite of the three, save the straight pipes. That noise was rather embarassing around the neighborhood. Again, spoiled by the GS's quiet pipes. Comfortable position, but impossible to lift my butt off the seat for big bumps. Smooth running bike. I rode a bit longer on ths one.



                            The one I really wanted to ride was his KZ900 (can just see the tail end sticking out in one of these pics)

                            After getting to ride these I let him ride my GS850. Man, that thing runs great, he said, Very smooth.

                              First ride of the year today!

                              I had forgotten how heavy this bike is, and it is absolutely useless getting out of my frozen driveway. But it started fairly easily, and ran well! Better than last year. I rode down to the city, turned around and topped her up with gas.

                              It was cold, I almost fell on some ice going out my neighbouerhood. 4.5 degrees celcius. I should have worn more clothes.

                              But I am so happy everything worked, had no problem starting up or riding. Its cured.

                                My brother had the ZX - 10r’s slightly older brother - an 87 Ninja 1000. I got a bit of a sideways look when after my first ride on it that I informed him that it has a rev limiter...

                                He eventually totaled it and nearly himself when he experienced a severe tank slapped on it at speed.
