Been exceptailly warm last few days. Been getting out most every morning, sometimes afternoon/evening also.
Had something of an event this morning.
55degF this morning. Go for ride.
Heading out driveway, get to the street, making the slow speed 90degree turn ..... and Wham, my elbow has a sharp pain, my clutch side elbow, ow, ow..... and then Bamm, my throttle side wrist has a sharp pain and screaming ache, ow, ow, ow..... startling.... am trying to think what to do to relieve the pain... then thought, oh, what am I doing?, oh, I am in middle of slow speed sharp turn, about to fall over, need to attend to that..... do manage to complete the turn.... and continue on....
Man, that was starteling.
Did go for bit of a ride out of town, and then back into town.
Stopped here, at a bay/marsch off the river.
In first pic, off to the left, the white stuff in distance, is a group of swans at water edge.
Stayed there a while, more about that.....

THen went for more of a ride.
Then meet wife downtown for lunch. Mid 70s by then.
Went for more of a ride, then back home.
Then later in afternoon, went for short ride and stop at grocery store, just for a few things.
Dern bike, I got to train it better.
I came out the store and could not find it.
It must have moved.
GOt to train it not to move around in parking lot while I am in the store.
Did find it, way over by the other enterance.
After carrying those things thru parking lot, I set them there for a while, to relax my wrist for a while.
THen those things easy fitt into side bags. And then get jacket out of trunk.
Oh, other thing:
I was approaching a school buss that was comming in other direction, on a very busy road, then its yellow lights started flashing. I started slowing down, down shifting and braking, and then the red lights started flashing, so I braked harder, and about time I was about to come to a stop, the buss went further and stopped a bit past me.... so rather than me stopping already past the front of the buss, I let off brakes and slowley proceeded. Could hear buss horn beeping and driver hollering.
Hum.. wonder if I am gonna hear more about that.Last edited by Redman; 10-02-2023, 10:18 PM.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

Went for a ride down to Penticton to meet up with some friends for a ride!
I just followed them while I was down there, but we went down towards Oliver and through Willowbrook to Marron Valley and back up to Penticton. Lots of fun, but not many opportunities for photos. Not a long enough ride for us to take any breaks, but I needed one on the way back up to Kelowna. Took this photo in Peachland as I was stretching my legs.
No side covers because I wasn't totally convinced that Burnie wasn't going to have an issue along the way, but I think I can now say that she's up to day trips without issues! Side covers are going back on and it's time to plan some longer rides!Last edited by rustyspoon; 10-03-2023, 12:20 PM.1981 GS650G - Burnie is ugly but running!

Probably the last night I'll be able to ride this year without layers under the standard gear.

Looks like a calm scene.
THe two overhead lights, red.... railroad crossing.....?
But if that is a train in the crossing, then, not such a quite calm scene.

Earlier this week I took some vacation days and spent them with Joe Nardy in the Smoky Mountains. alke46 even joined us for a day. What a great place to ride. So many curvy mountain roads. As usual, I didn't take many pictures. But, here are the ones I did take:
At one point we stopped for lunch at Deal's Gap Resort. The restaurant ceiling is covered in t-shirts from all over the place. Joe mentioned that there is a GSR shirt up there somewhere. He found it and pointed it out to me. Looks like it's been up there since 2005. Don't know if you can see it, but it's covered in signatures. Is your signature up there?
Here's a picture of my bike parked alongside Joe's in his garage, and my 2 favorite Killboy pictures on 129 over the mountain.
And, for something unusually different, we did a touristy thing and visited Clingman's Dome. It's the highest point in Tennessee. To get there we suffered through heavy, slow traffic, and hiked half a mile to the observation deck. The hike clearly demonstrated how out of shape I am. But we were rewarded with amazing views at the top. You can see 100 miles in any direction. Absolutely lovely.
Visting with Joe is always a good time and the roads around his home are a real motorcycle playground. Can't wait to go back.
