anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Broke the 850 out this morning to go to work. 20F on the way in. I was bundled well and the cold was negligible. My damn helmet screen kept fogging but other than that it was a nice ride. Coming home was close to 40F.

Alright it was a bad pic BUT I had a record day today... 140+ miles I went to Rutland and back then went around Addison County. Stopped to get my hair did and she was waiting for me to go back out on it. Traction is an elusive thing on this GSX. But I did put in in B mode and was able to cruise comfortably... Only lasted maybe 30 miles... LOL Sooooo frickin' fast.

Watch out you PNW sons of guns!!!, Jedz is out and starting to rack!!!

Lol...good for you my man! Speaking of starting to rack...I put 700 miles on last week!:D Lan was 1800kms and Feb was 1600kms and already in March arounf 1200kms.
 
It's kind of a late start this year. I'm also abut 500 miles in the hole... However I will have my first 500 miles in by the tail end tomorrow. Hoping by next Wednesday (17th)I'll have my first 1K miles in.
 
I bet i have 2-400 miles in this year. Predominantly riding to work. I just took a job with a company vehicle, so weekend toys they become.
 
Not so much of a ride as a 20 mile loop for a go /no test to see if my carb work was ok. Its a go!
I was a bit disappointed that the neon sign didnt photograph well.

Glen Your bike looks fantastic!!!

I'm planning on doing some big day rides this year maybe we could meet up, Jersey isn't too far out.
 
Thanks, I blame it on a decent camera and the dark. In person you may be let down.:p The ugly truth of the bike is posted in an album here....

Let me know if youre heading down here. Theres a good number of GSers in NJ, but we never seem to get together.
 
I'll keep you posted. I like to ride down the Taconic to the border of the city and back for speed runs. Jersey isn't too far out from there. I'll keep you posted. Goal this season is to put some more faces to names on this board.

No ride yet this spring, my driveway is a steep hill that is still a slab of ice.
The 1100 started up like a champ yesterday though.
New tire in hand ready to mount. Looking forward to a great year.
May pass on Brown County this year and head to the WV rally instead.

Sound good. Im in the middle of NJ where the riding isnt terribly exciting. The northwest part of the state has some decent (by NJ standards) roads to ride.
 
well I didn't quite get 500 miles... But I did get a nice 150 miles on today. got m,y bike inpected at my favorite local shop (and in VT terms local is anything in a 60 mile radius). I was the first motorcycle inspection of the 2015 season. I love these guys at Pro Cycle. take great care of me and my machines. It was nice to catch up and they were excited to know I was only 35 miles down the street now. 48' today but balmy. The wind wasn't very nice but I did get some time to be more acquainted with the B-King.

As you can see the BK was the only Motorcycle in the shop...

Good to hear the boys at Procycle hgave hgad a stellar winter season with all the snow we got. But they said it was a breath of fresh air to do a 2 wheel'd vehicle in the shop.

I then did a full circumference around Addison county. Great day for it. BK is a little dirty but she loves it. I also have allot of Go-Pro footage I'll compile later.

I got called in for qwork again tonight... Another 60 hour work week in the works. I'm really not impressed by this. Oh well it's all be the Over time hour...

More to come we have another Highs 40's day tomorrow!!!!
 
Hey Jedz123, when you get the Bandit back, it may seem a bit primitive compared to that B-King.
 
Lurch, Nothing wrong with primitive! The B-King is in its own realm or Brutality and comfort... More buttons then the frickin space shuttle. The B-12 is very much anticipated! I find with my age, Oil cooled simplicity is a nice option.

that's the place just south of rutland right? that's my favorite vermont bike shop! i had to get my chain fixed there while we were rallyin' like a mutha.
 
Yup, Pete and Matt have been helping me keep my bike's on the road when I first started riding with my riddled with issues GS750L(before I knew of GSR). Good cats and I go to no one else when I need an inspection. I also try to buy anything I need through them to help my local bike shop. I use to swap service for pizza when I ran the Rutland Sbarro. Great guys, I have nothing but great report with them.

Well, I actually got my collector plate today so and figured it needed a short test ride to make sure it wouldn't fall off. Short meaning about 100km., I just couldn't help myself. This is a favourite local lake about 15 minutes from the house. Horrors, I actually got some dirt on it. Don't tell Trevor. Ride was successful, no leaks, runs fine, fixed the front end wobble I noticed before the tear down and everything seems to work great. Woohoo, nothing else fell off either. Other than a little buzz from the fairing at 4,000 rpm the operation looks like a success. This thing feels sooooooo much more nimble than my '79 GS1000, amazing what 5 years will do.

No ride today...on off rain in the afternoon. But I saw a great rainbow today.
Double one...pics don't do it justice.
