      Rode the GSX-S1000GT up to my favourite (but far from local) Suzuki dealer to grab a new pair of riding jeans yesterday... glorious weather we're having here.





      Decided to take the short cut over the water on the way home.

        Rode the '82 GS1100E on the backroads 35 miles to the only Buc-ees in Kentucky. Had to grab a chopped brisket sandwich for me, and some ethanol-free fuel for the bike! Also got to cross the Kentucky river on the ferry.

          I rode the Yamaha 125 Zuma to work for the last 3 days. I was determined to get the GS out before the end of the weekend.

          So, I made the exactly one mile journey (each way!) to the neighborhood Mexican grocery for a summer squash and an avocado to complete my culinary masterpiece.

          No great photo opportunity. Maybe tomorrow on the way to work....

            Did another "shakedown" jaunt up the old Michigan road on the XS1100, made it 35 miles north up to the small town of Burlington IN, turned around to top up at a gas station then zipped back home. Arguably some of the more boring riding you can do: just buzzing past cornfields and through tiny "towns' (intersections with a few houses, many of them), but it's sort of zen in its own way, especially on a super smooth and comfy bike like an XS1100. Passed a number of cars both on the way up and back down, the road is wide open and flat with a 55mph speed limit and basically endless (legal) passing zones. That big brute of a Yamaha has awesome top gear roll-on performance.

              Planning: about 10 minutes before can go, pic a town about 60-70 miles north & go there for lunch.
              Picked town of Pentwater.
              Didn’t think to get the GPS.
              Since needed to be back home in about 3 1/2 hours, and major objective was to get some highway speed riding time, I blasted most of the way on US31, then headed over to lakeshore. Found a couple roads that don’t go to Pentwater but end in private area along the lake.
              Did make it to Pentwater, had lunch, and made it home per schedule.

              - pic near silver lake looking across to the state park sand dune area. Surprised that didn’t see lots of dune buggy’s and Mocycles and such.


              -pic in downtown Pentwater. Would you believe the name of this place is Antler Bar?




              - pic closer to home​ on another day.
              View isfrom across the street, from part way up stairs up a dune to someones "cottage".

                Rode up island Monday night so that I could go take a tour of a friend's new treatment centre he opened a couple of months ago......nothing like being able to ride your bike for work....and get paid mileage

                        Haha, nope. Funny observation. Say, that's a good idea for a theme in the pic game. Pearly white....

                        Those guys were hanging out in AL Unser Jr's front yard on Montano Rd here in Albuquerque.

                            Got out the TT600 for the first time this year. Was out for about 3 hours...Stopped at Norris Dam for a nice break.

                              Too bad you didn't need some free solar electricity. Looks like a good day for it.
