anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[GS1150Pilot]

I did a short, 30 mile ride out to lunch and back. Nothing to photograph, since it was mostly highway, but aside from wind, the weather was about perfect (just under 80 degrees, with a few clouds but mostly clear). Had a black and blue wrap and a couple of tacos.

That thing needs a windjammer. Then you could ride it more often😁.

I need to retire, then I could spend more time on it! Like some people that show up to rally's a couple of days early, and stay a couple days after! Scheesh, retired people!

Got the DR650 out today...very nice day here...the dr now has 650kms on it and inching closer to it's first break-in service. And then I'll put the Yoshi exhaust in jet kit in...but first I had to siphon gas out of my 83 750 lol...lots of gas stations closed still with no gas.


A cool bike park just opened out in Langford...it goes way in behind with lots of dirt tracks too...great to see little kids on it with their push bikes.

Live up in the Pacific Northwest and its 42 degrees and sunny. Enjoyed the ride and the bike...3rd GS1000 I have had.

Welcome to the forum....I'm just across the water in Victoria. Nice E

Was 68 degrees today so I went on a short 75ish mile round trip to Frankfort and back. Stopped by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Really unique memorial that is a huge sundial. The names of each veteran that lost their life is etched in the granite floor, and on the day they died, the point of the sundials shadow is on their name.
The designer wanted each lost veteran to have their own Veterans Day!

Here is the view in the other direction, looking at the state capital building:

Ron, that sundial sounds really cool.

[1978GS750E]

Yeah Roger, it is really something to see. The granite floor with the names on it is really big. Probably 75-80 ft square. It's sorta strange when you first walk on it, as the names look like they were just randomly etched on the floor. Then you read why, it's a special place for sure!

45degF today, partly sunny, after some days of ice and snow. Also rained a couple times since I saw salt trucks.....
So, got out this afternoon for a short ride, about an hour.
Didnt bother to try to find a new place for a picture.




Maybe the GK tomorow.

>50 deg. F today and a vacation day, so off to the mountains for me. Bike always runs great, but she really loves the cold weather. Beautiful day today in the Northeast. Hope you all get some saddle time.

45degF today, calm and mostly sunny.
Not the mid 50s that was predicted, but okay for a mid December ride.
Had to move stuff around to get GK out of the garage.



Was going to go for another hour ride, but without the grip heaters and not having the harness for the 'lectric gloves in this jacket, it was a little less than an hour ride. But good to get the GK out.
Man, I like this bike.
Stopped for my typical roadside selfie pic.

I had fun getting that pic of my 1000. Light traffic, but when they came, they came FAST! It was the year 2000 in the Angeles National Forest and I would try to listen for any vehicles coming and then set the bike just right and try to get a quick shot. Took a few tries.
I haven't visited as often, I suppose in part because my advice is often carburetor related and my replies are often the same thing over and over. I guess after finding the GSR in 1999, my enthusiasm has waned a tad? I'm sure thankful for Frank and the GSR. I still have my '79 1000E since new. Owning it has been much easier because of the GSR and sharing the experience with fine folks like you, Red'.
I need to update my profile. I have two homes. I have one in southern Cal' I bought back in '84. My family still lives there. I got sick of Cal' and retired in 2016. I just upgraded to a new home in the city of Washington, Utah, about 4 miles from Hurricane. I like it here. Beautiful place. Being lonely is sometimes a problem but working on it.
I recently had a bout with cancer and they removed my right kidney. I've had tests done since my June surgery and so far my tests say I'm clean. I rarely get even a cold, so the cancer thing was a bad surprise. I guess things happen when you get older.
We finally have the colder temps arriving. Lower 20's at night with low 40's during the day for the next week or so. May even get a dusting of snow by tomorrow? I know you Michigan folks would think that's sun tan weather.
You be sure to be careful out there. I appreciate the pics! Take care, bud!
