anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

I was able to get out on the bikes this past weekend. With temperatures in Mid 50's-60's and with brilliant sunshine it was a perfect weekend for riding. Sunday afternoon I spotted a Hot Air Balloon, I decided to track it. We crossed paths about three times with yelling and waving to each other. I'm getting off work at noon today, I have a appointment with "The Doctor" maybe I'll head south to the Ohio River. Oh, "The Doctor" is the name of the FJR... I always feel better after a appointment with The Doctor ...🌞

Gorgeous morning ride couldn't sleep so left for a sunrise spin.



bit brisk, Frost built up on the bike in the AM


Than spent the bulk of the day Turning the Monkey into a 3 wheeler, equipped with snow tires!

I took my 6 month pregnant wife for a spin around the yard per her request. She was laughing the whole time. She dismounted and said, "I'm so glad our daughter is going to be joining for us on this wild ride" While she hugged her belly bump... Life is good and motorcycles just make it better.

Previous person who lived here sawed a hole in the wall of the sports storage attached shed (is there a more consise word for that in english)

Normally just call it a lean-to shed, but they can be all sizes.

Sunny and 15C [59F], so rare for this time of the year.
Out for three hours going absolutely nowhere.


Queenston Ontario to Lewiston NY Bridge in the background, open for the first time for non-essential travel since the start of the Pandemic.

Nice Sunday mountain ride yesterday. Not quite the shot I was looking for to submit for pic of the week so thought I might as well post it here.

STOP! Too Cool-Too Cute! I'm giggling helplessly and I'm not even in it.

Coolest Honda ever? CBX, this one almost looks like a Benelli though!

This picture in post #11322 is not showing up on the forum. And we NEED to see a pic of this CBX. I may be able to help with posting pics. Let me know. Or follow the link in my signature about using Imgur.

Rich, you need to see post #11320. That's where the CBX is.

AH, yeah, I saw Steve's CBX. Awesome. I saw Big Block's post #11320, with a weird icon that maybe was a failed pic upload and figured he tried, but failed to upload a pic. Guess I misunderstood.

Me and the GK (well, most of it) went for late afternoon ride.

When trying to get it started this afternoon, I was thinking of Rons statement about "....going through the carbs one more time", but then after a while it did start (and run well). Can report more on all that later.

But for now, yep, went for ride this afternoon.

Fantastic! So glad to hear it's back together.

I'll bet riding your GK without the fairing was a bit weird. Kinda like running out for the newspaper in your underwear.

Ha !

Yah, I was trying to remember last time I had an unfaired bike. Was Long time ago when that was just normal for me.
Wow. Jeepers, wind EVERYwhere.

AH, do you mean going to front porch? paper delivery tube out at the street? or into town to a store? har har har
Yah, was wind in places I had not experienced in long time.

Got fairing and lowers back on Wednesday, and went for ride.


I was thinking:
Man, I like this bike. It seems the handlebars are wide enough and shaped just right , and the steering geometry is just right, so that the arm movement of leaning upper body provides just the right amount of countersteering.
Man, this is comfortable. Man, I missed this bike.
Have been out for hour and half or two. Where is the time clock? Oh, nope.
Was about 50degF when left home, where is the air temp display? Oh, nope.
Could turn on grip heaters for a little bit. Oh, Nope.
Hum, I could put the windscreen down a little bit. No, I can't.
Oh, what? besides all the buzzing and rattling of the fairing, sounds like some engine noise, what? what is that engine noise?

Oh, maybe it is this.......



Rode around in town for a while.
Saw some fall color yet on a few trees.

Stopped for lunch




Headed on state highway out of town for a while.
Then along the river, to this boat ramp park that also has a bayou off the river.
Well past any fall color there.


Was great to take the GK on a ride.

Okay, now maybe I can start on the leaf raking (should have started about 10 days ago, and now has rained the last 2 days).

[alke46]

Bike looks very nice Dave. And doesn't it feel so good that you accomplished the work by yourself?

Now you can be almost as comfortable with the mechanical side as you are with the electrical side.

[ddaniels]

GK looks new! Nicely done. The wrench though.....Ha!
