anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

It is getting gorgeous in Vermont right now!!!

Wasn't the greatest riding weather yesterday in the northeast but I really enjoyed riding in the rain. Makes you a smoother rider for sure and that's what I was after. Definitely was more than enough grip to do +20mph above the speed limits.

Thank's HJFISK for the ride.

Gorgeous day, 71' and this:

Wow!
Pretty spectacular scenery and the Kawi looks nice too,
what's the wet weight full of gas compared to the little TU bike?

Great pics Jedz! Better get a new rear tire before the rain starts...

I'm in the 650lbs area with bags and full tank of gas with the Connie. The Tu is 350lbs! It's pretty different, the TU is great for commuting; light, great maneuvering and economic. The Connie is a bear to move around but it's not impossible... Clearly we know which one takes to big miles better

Great pics Jedz! Better get a new rear tire before the rain starts...

Yeah I got my 5th rear for the season in yesterday... I'll swap tomorrow likely. Stretching this one out a little too far HA!

Justin, did you cut weight on the Connie? Listed wet weight is 690 pounds.

[Jedz123]

Oh yeah. The stock exhaust is ridiculously heavy, header, cats, and muffler. My full racing ZX-14 system with carbon fiber muffler dropped a good 35lbs off the bike.

I've also taken out some redundant steel framing in the fairing. whole E-vap system W/canister has also been taken out.... Foam, plastics, other materials that just took up space in the body paneling.

I'm sure i gained some back with my stereo and Aux lighting but I would guess 650ish weight, it was noticeable right off the bat when I swapped out the exhaust. Bags off and the bike is a rocket.

Took a moonlight ride and stopped to watch the city lights for a bit.

Nice. I occasionally like to ride to a quiet spot, park the bike and just sit and contemlate life..... gives good perspective on things.

It really does, so long as the cops don't show up to ask what you are doing. It used to be you could do that in many places. Now, if it's not a posted parking area, it would seem someone will phone you in as a threat or potential threat right off.

Rode out for breakfast this morning, before sunrize, stopped here.
Got this picture so Adam LoudET not dissapointed.

Yeah, thats a possibility for sure. This pic was at the parking area for the tram that goes from the city to the top of the Sandia Mountains. Also a popular place just to look at the lights. Sure is nice and quiet up there.
