Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.
Present Stable includes:
'74 GT750 Resto-mod I've owned since '79
'83 GS1100E (The best E I've ever enjoyed, Joe Nardy's former bike)
'82 GS1100G Resto project -
Finally had a nice day to get out so I sent my son to grandmas.
Went out for a really nice ride and hit an AA meeting this evening.
Nice day indeed.

So, I got my California Cooley out for a ride after 3 weeks of ownership and a fair amount of maintenance updates after a 16 year slumber from the previous owner. I decided to ride to the auto parts store taking the long route through the country and stretch the bikes legs going to a small town about 30 minutes away. I was able to turn this into a 100 mile ride in the Indiana Spring sun.
Much to my amazement and completely by chance I came across a beautiful 1980 Cooley that I believed to be owned by Suzuki Dog. His GS was sitting at a business outside of town. Suzuki Dog & I became acquainted thru PM chatting on GSR recently and have never met. Imagine our surprise when we both found out that each of us had purchased (merely 1 month apart) this winter, new to us factory GS1000S Cooley Reps.
Suzuki Dog & I still have not met yet. Being a business I did not want to interrupt his work day by hunting him down so we will hook up hopefully soon and compare notes another day. Our bikes have met however, and this is their first photo op.
My 1979 out for a romp after a 16 year hibernation.
The 79 & 80 and there subtle differences.
Beautiful sighting! Kind of like seeing a couple of Big Foot's in the wild.

Sean, Your and Suzuki dogs cycles are gorgeous. To see them together is too cool!
Loud et, good to see you riding. Im itching to play the riding game...I have a couple of minor things to address on my cycle- new battery, check the charging system/ wiring, install my refurbished speedo drive, and its yearly wash. Soon...........sigpic

I went on a short scenic ride around Morton Arboretum today.
I would have puttered around some more, but it started to rain. I ended up parking under a gazebo until the rain stopped and then I figured I would seize the opportunity to get back home before it started up again.
A picture under the gazebo would have been cool, but there were people around and I didn't want to give the impression that I was parked there to be obnoxious and have them call the park ranger on me.Comment

Where was I during this encounter....? Oh, yeah, working so I can pay for all my bikes... lol! Anyway, I'm glad our friends could meet. We'll get together and ride, soon.

Glenn, Rob and I got together for a ride (Sorry Dave didn't know you were off today) today. Rob's G had some issues so we went back to his place to trade it for his E. I love riding with guys who have more than one old bike.
We also hooked our Sena systems to one another, that inspired some pretty funny conversation while riding. Glenn almost got struck by lightning.
And at Wheelies motorcycle cafe...
Then we went to BMW bike night.

It sure was a good turn out last night, surprising what sunshine will do.
That was a very nice 89' Honda GB500, and it's only got about 4'000km or so

Keeping the Kat theme... met up with three other fellas for what turned out to be a very short ride yesterday. Two Kats, an 1100G, and my 450.
Reg wasn't feeling well (leaning on the Kat) and I discovered my front tyre is looking a little... well... used... so we decided a short local ride for brekky was enough for the day.
This week's goal for me... track down some tyres!Comment
