anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Wow jabcb that looks like an awesome event. I would have needed a second memory card for all the pix I would have taken!
 
The gray GT750 has a Jemco 3-into-1. Jemco is located in Texas & makes exhaust for a variety of vintage bikes.
Here is a better pic of the GT750:

Sixty miles for Charmayne and I today as we took her first ride since early July thanks to her work schedule. She learned what it feels like to need to change to reserve and had a couple of pucker moments but in the end she and the bike are back home safe and sound. We both agree we need some parking lot time soon to help her practice some skills better done there than the road.

I took Suzie Q into town to get a new DieHard, 98.2 miles, 1.83 gallons of gas, yup 53.6 mpg. I love this bike.

Well I finally have my gs650 to the point where I trust it. I finally synced the carbs, and took it for a spin today. Beautiful day out, I just had to stop and take a photo.

Using the Ole' TUX and it's +65MPG to go to and from work... Love this little rascal!!

Rain this AM, Hence why it's the only bike in the MC lot at work.
 
Yesterday I installed some new front brake pads on my GS750. I was going out for a little test run, saw some kids pulled over on the side of the highway and pulled up behind them to see what was going on. Turns out one of them was having an issue with their XS650 so I asked if they needed anything as I live near by and have tools if they needed. After chatting for a minute or two the bike seems okay and they tell me they are heading out to western MA for the day and ask if I want to come with.

About 45 miles later I notice the girl on the XS650 trying to get the attention of her friends in front (I was last out of three bikes). Shes slowed down by a bit and I can smell a rich mixture. So I pull up next to her and signal to see if she's trying to pull over, get a thumbs up and then race ahead of the Harley up front to relay the information and we pull over on the shoulder.

The XS dies as we pull off and won't start again. They talk about what it might be and check the fuel line for blocks and try a few other things with no luck and also top up the battery with some kind of recharger. After a few minutes I pull out my stock tool kit and suggest we check the spark plugs which I have out a few seconds later. The right one looks quite rich but when we pull the left one find that it looks all dinged up and the gap has been pinched 100% together. I open the gap with my leatherman and try to match it with the other one as best I can.

At that moment a cop pulled up and was very rude about our situation but after he left the bike fired right up and we were back on the road. About 30 miles away we stop again for gas and I split off after lending them a pair of extra B8ES plugs and my spark plug wrench (they live near me so convenient to get back).
I don't know what caused the bad plug, but I think they were happy I had stopped and now I have a couple more motorcycle friends.

A legend I say!
 
Went for a nice 200 mile ride with fellow GSR forum members Jethro, Skip and his friend Dave. Stopped in to say hi to early arrivals for the GSR Green Mountain annual rally. The view from atop Coolidge Park, Vermont camp site.

If you had one of these, you could get 100mpg during your commute... like I did yesterday. And every day! :eagerness:
