Wallow,

Nice shots. Your windscreen looks taller or aftermarket. Only asking because the cafe guy's comment. No black trim on screen or what do I know about stock, all my bikes have been ratty sad examples.

Had a breakfest ride this morning up to Hatch at the Pepper Pot with a group that I ride with. Was a good short ride and the yum yums were just that yum yum. Nothing like scrambled eggs and green chile to start your day.

Memorial Day 2014

Memorial Day 2014

As a member of the 2013 Miamisburg HS Marching Band, Charmayne played today for the annual Memorial Day parade. After sticking her flute, walking shoes, and lyre into her backpack, we started it off with a ride together from the garage to their meeting place:





They marched down to the Linden Ave Bridge over the Great Miami River for a wreath laying ceremony on the river:



Then the parade back to the local park. First came the horseback color guard followed by an early 1900s fire truck and WWII-era (1942) staff car







Then the band followed by kids on bicycles and a few other folks. They then played each of the service's songs at the park before ending for the day.





After lunch together, the family went to spend time at the pool and I went for a short (50 mile) ride

 

[Charmayne]

The ride was great, I had fun. I need to get back out again.

 

[marvinsc]

I rode out to meet my family at the dunes. It was a perfect day for a ride.

Spotted these clean & original GSs at Senaca Rocks in WV on Sunday. Nice bikes.

Beautiful area to ride. I did Blackwater Falls, Senaca Rocks, Spruce Knob & Dolly Sods.

1,000 mile weekend.

I had a awesome weekend. I'm glad to be back to work to relax (not really) I got up early Saturday morning, I was on the road by 7:00am. I headed to Columbus to meet up with my brother. He borrowed his son's Yamaha V Star for the ride to Xenia, Ohio to Williams Vintage Cycle. I had a great time at the show. I met some fine people and looked at some fine motorcycles. I was so happy for my motorcycle winning best 80's unrestored Japanese Motorcycle.(see pictures and story in Williams Vintage Cycle thread) After the show we rode to visit my other brother. I then departed my brothers to head for home. I got to the outskirts of Columbus and decided to get a room for the night. After freshening up I went out for a ride to get something to eat. I came across National Trail Drag strip, and they were running so I stopped in to check out some racing. I stopped by the motorcycle pits, I ran into a old drag racing buddy from the IDBA days Bruce Sauer The guys really liked my old Suzuki. Sunday, I had a nice ride home taking only two lane roads home.Monday, I just went for a little ride to the Ohio River and back. Total miles for the weekend was 700. The bike ran great, I got some sun, and glad to be back at work...

Wallow,

Yep. Screen is aftermarket, the stock one is on the shelf in my garage. It's a light smoke version I picked up last trip back to England, paid about 40 quid for it I think. Even though it's a little taller, it's narrower too so the black trim is too long to fit on it.

I quite like it though...

EDIT: The comment from the cafe guy was based on his interest on the suspension with anti-dives and how that all worked, the engine and particularly the exhaust being stock. Guess he missed the screen

My friend Tom Whiteman was racing there this weekend. He made it to the final round both days. He just turned 70....He never rode a motorcycle until he was 65! Bruce Sauer builds his engines for him.

Iron Pony has a Vintage Japanese bike show every year. It is always the Saturday after Fathers Day (this year June 21st). You might want to come by and check it out, it is always a great time. Usually 150 bikes in the show & another 100 just to spectate.
