Cool photo. If you hadn't explained it I would have thought sand dunes on the beach and how the Hell did you get down and back.........

Maybe I should do that again.
Pick a spot where is no sight of the parking lot pavement... and somehow fake in something that looks like tire tracks in the sand.

Or... if enough sand in parking lot, might be actual tire tracks.
Oh, wait, ... I did try that once, .... and in addition to tire tracks in the sand, was also some tracks from the bike on its side, and tracks from me having done a summersault.
The sand was deeper than I though. (and I was moving kinda slow for a couple days after that.)

Went for a run out with the bike club on old red 77 GS750, still a bit cold here but we had a good run. Over Alston and over the hills around Stanhope, still a bit snow lying in places, no pics we never stopped. Had a coffee at Talkin Tarn caf? next to the lake.View attachment 38976
 
Took the Tiller out for its inaugural ride today...

... still needs tires... and front brake pads... and bar end weights... and a solo cowl... and plates... and insurance... but otherwise it's good to go! ;)

Shoved the off-brands out into the driveway when I got home and prayed to my Suzuki Shrine.

:cool:
 
Did a test ride on a Cam Am Sypder Sat. Interesting ride there...could grow on me lol.
 
Went for a ride to the bike shop. I'm just not enough of a mechanic to get it to stop leaking. I can't park it at work dripping like that. I'm going to have a pro clean the bike up for me so I can spend more time riding it and less time wrenching it. I get compliments on it every time I ride so obviously it needs to be seen.
 
Didn't get much riding in this weekend. 4 days off sure was nice and despite the original forecast it was beautiful all weekend, hitting 70 degrees today.
Got a lot of stuff done around the house. Got out on the beemer yesterday and today my neighbor Brian and I went to the pub for one late in the afternoon.
Took the 750 and it turned over 57,000kms today...which means I have officially put more kms on it than the original owner (one owner)...it took him 31 years what took me 3.5 years.:) I love riding my 750! Also had to do some chain maintenance....man new chains are nice.

HAHA. Now I want to clean YOUR bike!

A couple weeks ago my neighbors dad gave him a 98 Harley Sportster 1200. It had a case of carport patina. After a few days seeing it out on his porch I asked if he was going get a cover for it. He said he had a real nice one but was just not motivated to put it on. After another week looking at it sit there, I offered to clean it if he would promise to cover it. He said he'd pay me but I just couldn't look at it like that so I didn't charge him. It came out so nice he was floored. Most of the chrome looks amazing--unrecognizable. So it's covered now and I'm happy.

I have a co-worker with one. I tease him about his tricycle.

Believe me it is anything but a tricycle, I was riding the RT touring model, had just about everything on it. Sumbitch would get up and move. Was surprised how quickly it would accelerate. I was surprised with it, it was just the steering that was odd. Nothing like a motorcycle.
 
No argument on the engines they put in the Can Am Spyder. It is a cool vehicle. I'm just not above some good natured ribbing.

Mrbill...anything made today seems way faster than our old gs bikes. But it is a tricycle because of the way it turns. No thanks...I'll just buy a Miata. lol
