    That is awesome Eli!!! I want to go!

    I did some riding on my new tread. converted the Bonneville over to tubeless ZR tires... What a treat.


    Rain today... May take the TUX out to play and see how my new rain gear holds up.

      Nice pix, jedz! That is one beauty of a bike! (and I'm glad the era of ripping out all the old buiildings is past...of course, they suit the Triumph)

      You are getting to be a pretty good photographer too! That's a side-benefit of bikes- we take pictures of our bikes and we get better at it!

        Got a trackday in at the Ridge Motorsports Park today on my recently acquired 04 750.
        Don't know how many laps, as I have no dash, just a big multi wire plug hanging there and another with a paper clip going into the same connector.
        Wow! This thing is light, probably 100 lbs lighter than the Kat.
        It was a last minute B-day decision to go, as it was a 2-day event, but it rained most of the afternoon on the first day that I didn't go to.
        I was extremely nervous about riding a new unknown bike fast on the track, for some reason.
        I rode one other unfamiliar bike (08 ZX-6R) at Chuckwalla in March, otherwise it's been the Kat for the last 22 years.
        My group was sold out, so I did the "relaxed" group and got to know the bike a bit.
        The last 2 20 minute sessions were the best, less crowds and open track.
        Lots of females out there, getting instruction from coaches which was cool to see.
        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

          Ran out to acacia lake yesterday.

          They just paved a beautiful scenic winding road that leads to it so I had to check it out. Bike just hummed along. It was already over 100F but with my new little tool bag I was able to bring a few bottles of water. Just a little 45 mile round trip. So awesome I live so close to all this.

                  I took Stator out for a little ride this evening. It has probably been a while since he's been at 139mph... It was a quiet, smooth highway. Honestly, it's been a while since I've been at 139mph... 😀

                    Norm, Are you saying that Stator is a bad influence on you....?
