    This was my first ride in months after having the bike down for valve shims, throttle body balance, etc.

      Hey Joe, Good to hear from you.
      Nice pic (my pic of today could include snow.)
      Good to see you are getting out and enjoying the island.

      But, ah...... Did I miss something......

      Recent? Or you refering to the incident a couple(?few?) years ago when you were in California.
      Not meaning to be too nosey, just wondering if I missed something.

        Hey Dave! Good to see you, too. Yesterday I was reminiscing of that first ride you took me on.

        Nothing new, the concussion is the one from California. My helmet is just getting worn out and ready to be replaced so it’s just on my mind. I also haven’t been riding much - I just got the Street Triple a few months ago, then decided to do the 12,000 service which ended up taking a few months (lost motivation after waiting for back-ordered parts.) But all is well, I love the new (to me) machine and it’s riding incredibly well.

          After redoing the suspension in my front forks of the DR650 I took it out to my local BMW dealer Bike night... The first one in two years!
          Free pizza, cake and free t shirts to the first 100 people...they gave them all away. Amazing turnout considering the weather was 6 degrees and rainy.
          I'm proud of this dealership and how it gives back to our community.




          And check this out a 1910 Indian that they took on trade from a guy in Victoria that completed the Cannonball on it! New York to California

            revisited Hobo Vista. Sign’s gone.


            This is a first. When close to home I noticed my headlight beam bouncing on the gravel road I was traveling. Stopped to check and notice 2 of the 3 screws that secure the headlamp flange to the bucket have gone bye-bye. I just noticed you can see the lamp hanging out of the bucket in the pic above. Maybe use a little blue lock-rite when I install new ones. Almost lost a $150 Truck-lite.


            Hey Rich!

            Nice bike, bro!

              Rich, Hope you get the headlight sorted!

              Out today, last big ride for me before I head to Maui Hawaii for a week, renting a Honda CB500X for 2 days and plan to get accustomed to the island!

              Anyway took the big bore Monkey out in the trials and the back roads... good day despite being in the low 40's. Think we got 6" of snow 2 days ago.


              Still dragging on that 100K mile service on the T120, no time, dad duties are trumping shop time. All good it will be nice to ride in the Pacific for day on end... too long.

                  THis bike was still grimey from riding when roads were wett, so I puished it out into the rain last night for something of a cleanup.

                  Was gonna get out for a sunrize ride, near 50 degrees this morning, but by the time I got out the sun was already out.
                  Got an east view of low sun and rode for a west view, then out to breakfast, then a bit more of a ride.

                  Was out for about 3 hours this morning.

                  TOday is first 70 degF day, but I had other stuff going on this afternoon.

                          Got the TT out for a couple hours. Just a local road. Brand spanking new tires are always wonderful...

                            Got out this morning about 10am....Got home about 2:30pm....(Did stop for an hour lunch)
                            Good day. About 110 miles.
                            Stopped at Norris Dam and Big Ridge State Park.
                            The pictures are fairly ordinary.

                              Hardly ordinary, Bob.
                              Bike and the scenery both look great.
