anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

No pics but three terrific things about a ride today:
1) My daughter was at a movie so my wife suggested we ride somewhere. We ended up doing a sixty mile loop (stopping halfway at her favorite Mexican restaurant)
2) I discovered Ohio State Route 243, from Proctorville to Coal Grove. It was a lovely twisty road, almost twenty miles, 45-55 most of the time, and no stops.
3) I'm pretty sure today's the first time I crossed into Kentucky on the bike. Gotta update the map!

Good day!

2) I discovered Ohio State Route 243, from Proctorville to Coal Run. It was a lovely twisty road, almost twenty miles, 45-55 most of the time, and no stops.
3) I'm not sure I've ridden in Kentucky before, but now I know I have.

Good day!

Sounds like you had a Good Friday👍 Have a nice Easter weekend ☺
 
72 degF on a Saturday afternoon, yep, go for ride.

Went for ride, and for something else I have been putting-off.

And I have an area of personal growth:
Now using the new helmet I got 1 1/2 years ago.
Had been been continuing to use my 12-15 year old helmet, because it is familiar/comfortable.
But now using the new helmet even though it is a bit tight.

Could say it is personal growth for Easter.
Or, could say an Easter bonnet har har har

Yep though I don't have any pictures. Started the day off with Cheyenne on her first ride of the year and my longest, 50 miles, so far. Then, for the first time ever, the wife rode with me after picking up a helmet for her a few weeks ago and new boots yesterday. She borrowed Charmayne's riding jacket for 26 miles of her own. Finally, Charmayne and I went across the street to the elementary school so she could work on her starts after a rough day yesterday for her (several stalls and a drop after one). A great day today I'd say.
 
Nice job Jedz, I'm a little jelly! Not sure what bike I would buy "brand new". I'm still messin' with my "T".

Thanks for the update Cowboy. Nice to hear your wife went on a ride with you!

Ha! Roger! I'll post a good shot if catch one. I'll be riding it a fair amount this year.

It has a 2 year unlimited mile warranty. I'm going to see if it needs it! Ha!

Until I get my "T" back on the road, I am living vicariously through you!

We can see you got a bag full of Frisbees and the course behind you. :rolleyes:
If you want a tight fitting helmet, try a Bell. Mine squeezes my cheeks like it's 2 sizes small. But the intention is, so your face don't have room to bounce off the front of the helmet. They do sell replacement cheek pads that are thinner, but I got mine for the track and only wear it when I intend to do some fast riding.

Second that. My Bell is my favorite. They fit my head the best when I try them on. My 3/4 is a Bell. Since Im a careless young hooligan I still ride many miles with an open face. However it's very snug and offers very nice wind noise protection.

My Sedici helmet, purchased around Christmas time, did the same thing. Since then after wearing it now for a few months it has loosened up quite a bit. I can almost open and close my jaw without biting down on my cheeks. Might have to get replacement cheek pads if it gets too loose, huh?
 
Took a ride yesterday on the GS850G to see a friend who collects the old Brit bikes. 4 Nortons, 1 Matchless and a Triumph. Brings back back memories of my youth when I owned Nortons and Triumphs.
Only have one pic that came out good of his bikes, here's of one of the Norton P-11 750cc Scrambler. Who would of thought that 50 years later this is the look that seems to be a popular fad now.

That Norton is beautiful.
It would take a lot of nerve to go out bombing around in the desert on something that big.
A buddy has a Ranger, the later street version of the Scrambler.
 
Ride this afternoon to meet son (no pics).

Another ride this evening.
Some of my old habits:

No pictures, sorry.
Forum member GBW, aka Greg White, rode over from the Nashville area today for a visit. We went for a ride of about 70 miles through some very pretty Eastern Tennessee county, and then stopped for a really good lunch. It was a very good day.
 
Hey Dave, it's nice seing your GK out of hibernation.

Earlier today I took the 850 around the Sandia Mountains through Golden and Madrid on up into Santa Fe then back home on I- 25. What a fantastic bike. Lunch in Santa Fe wasn't as tasty, I'm sure, as that hot dog on a stick you've got there!

Cheers!
