    Happy Birthday!
    Thanks for the wishes. The road course is not too bad, some bumps, seams, hokey bus stop corner with cones, but overall a fun challenging layout.
    They repaved several corners recently, but the track has virtually no run off room if a mistake is made, mainly corners 5-8.
    It feels much more compact than the Ridge, with the Ridge having only .30 length difference PR is 2.24 miles, the Ridge 2.47.
    GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

          It'll be 108 here today, but it looks to be cooling off to under 100 Sunday through Tuesday, so those will be riding days.

                Heading to an out of town conference for a few days. I decided I wanted my daughter's suitcase. Right size, and is hard. Sorry if pic size is crazy, I'm using the phone to post.

                        A couple hours misbehaving along the Niagara Parkway. A nice ride before all the tourists show up.
                        That is the Niagara River in the background about 7 miles down stream from the Falls.

                          Spoked wheels on a CBx? That's interesting!

                            It's getting cold here, well the start of winter and it's cooling down. 5 C and a bit foggy. pic taken at meeting point at busy little cafe for a long coffee/breakfast in Berwick VIC. I stayed behind the Harleys for the first 20kms then had to overtake them. Too slow in corners and they were wearing sunglasses which fogged up in the er.. fog. If you know what I mean? So they said.
                            There were a couple of meeting/waiting points along the way. I had to overtake them again. hehe.
                            From King Lake down the mountain I went ahead and caught up to a small quick hatch-back turbo, you know one of those low to the ground big exhaust sticking out from bumper. It took a couple kms to find enough straight to get past him. He wasn't a great driver, usually those things are pretty quick.
                            We stopped at St. Andrews pub for lunch. Nice place. Good food. Open fire, which was good for some of the guys. I wasn't cold with all the fairing. A few bikes parked out front. Then we parted and went home. Bike ran great. About 200km ride.

                              Going West to Arizona later today. My wife is heading East from Southern CA. and we'll meet in the middle, Seligman, AZ. which is about 400 miles from here. We'll hang out there for a bit then come home. Wish we had a radio to talk on the road between the bike and car, oh well. Should be a nice ride though. She's been gone for two weeks so I'm excited to see her.
