anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Frigid day today... 36'F or 2' C. Warmest day this week, well that's what the forecast is saying so I took the GSX out for a little run. I added some handle bar risers and made a huge difference in ride comfort.

This Saturday I pick up the GSF1200!!! I'm soooo excited to have it back as an option to ride, I will likely use it often for commuting. The B-12 is a great bike. Let the count down begin!!!

Also hope winter lets go soon. Tomorrow it's suppose to be 32' F or 0'C and Wednesday 22'F or -6'C Bummer

Rode to work today...nice day.


Over looking Victoria and the Pacific from Mt. Tolmie







Then after a day of work I took the 83 out for a little spin. Loving the new exhaust. Very sweet sound around 6000rpm





I picked up a couple of exhaust can plates and just placed this one on it. I like it.

It almost happened, the riding thread, nearly has as many posts as the wrenching thread. Wonder if it'll surpass it?

And yet it's not a sticky.

And those are my thoughts exactly....

Went out on my favorite little bike before dinner for a quick 75km ride. Rain coming tomorrow and who knows when I will get out again, soooo.... Man I don't ride this bike enough! So much fun and it's running the best it ever has since I bought it in 2011.

last week we actually got above freezing temps and the roads cleared up enough to ride so i dragged "the ugly" out of the shed. had to move the snowblower out of the way of course.




i actually rode about 100 miles over two days. it felt great.



of course my gixxerpunk kid was riding before me. he's got a bit of a competition going with the harley guys where he works and i think he won this one cuz he rode to work at 5am when it was about 15 degrees still.




it's colder now and snowed again and the snowmobiling conditions are less than perfect so i'm ready for the occasional bike ride days. we're getting there....

That's an interesting Vetter shield you have there, what did you use to cut it?

Took a ride this morning south of Camanche Lake and across Pardee Dam. Nice roads and scenery.

No pictures, but I did drag both pigs out into the sun. I took the VZ out today for a 65 mile run around.

Sold the Bandit 1200 today and it went off to VT with Jedz123....but hit 40F this afternoon so I took the GS650 and then the GS1000 out for a ride. The river behind the bike is still frozen over and at least a foot of snow still blanketing the area.

Quite a day you had.

Our snow partly gone, but the lake still mostly froze.
Just over 40 today.
Got out for a bit.

Need a good rainy day, and then after that could get out the GK.

I did... Took a ride into the Concord NH area and grabbed my much missed GSF1200 from Lurch!

It was about 6 hours of total road time. Got back and put some fresh gas in the old bird. I let her warm up and took her for a much due spirited jaunt.

You know I forgot how fast these B-12's were. I have some low end jetting to work out and the pods need a good clean but all in all Lurch did a great job maintaining the old girl. THANKS SO MUCH LURCH!!

I then decided to get the rest of the Jedz liter lineup together for a quick shot and then some quick jaunts with each one... So much personality in the group.

3700cc of power in the palm of my hand!

I'm one happy GSR member today!!!

I GOT MY OIL COOLED, OLD SCHOOL ZUK BACK!

I have to say I feel very blessed to be in a position to have the bikes I put nearly 60K on the clock with.

THANK AGAIN LURCH! You have no idea how much it means to have my bike back!

My favorite Bandit S's. I'd take one in place of my GS550es.

Took a bike pile of dirt (1600lbs) that I have been avoiding for a while now to the dump yesterday. And did a bunch of power washing of my driveway and rock walls so my back was pretty sore today. Only went out for an hour or so. Wanted to get the riding game tag but got beat. Man I love the sound of my new pipe!

I am still waiting for parts for my Gs so out on the new toy today, 81 Z650 F2, it needs some things sorting but it is fun to ride. The weather was not great, but there were periods when it was very nice, though a bit cold and very wet at other times.

Nice to see some pictures of Wales. Does it green up as the weather gets warmer?

Indeed it does Charlie, a lovely green land. this one is from about 8 years back of my GS650L, which I still have and am refurbing again, just waiting for a cam cover gasket to arrive for it.
