anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Yes.
Tread pattern specifically.
Rectangular patterns and/or a grove around the center contribute to that. (I base this on years of having to ride over a grated bridge local to here, and other comments have seen posted.)

Guess that's why, or one reason, Bwringer was calling these tires "evil". I just got used to them and rode till they were done. Haven't started shopping for replacements yet but will soon.
 
Stopped near Tuscarora Summit on Rte 30 at a favorite local biker restaurant. Gorgeous day to be out.

I hope you guys don't mind but, I took the liberty of brightening up your pictures to see what they looked like when brightened up a little. Redmans bike popped like I hoped it would but, jedz had a pretty hard sun blast behind it that I couldn't get past. Anyway, I hope you guys don't mind.
It's something I've always thought about every time I looked at the pictures, I love sunrise and sunset pictures.

Riding to work most every day last couple weeks.

I've been exploring new route options into work... Found one that works really well, I'm grabbing a steady 100-130 miles in... I come out to some awesome views of the sun rising over the Green Mountains...

Cool...
Back when I was in my late teens and rode BMX freestyle, there was a magazine I read called Freestylin'.
There was an article titled "while authority sleeps" that detailed guys riding at night, goofing off, and getting into a little mischief. I still ocassionally think of that article when I'm out on the cycle at night.
 
Your proximity to that street sign, the full moon, and your putting those elements together in your head at that moment make it a really cool shot. Nice bike too! I prefer your color scheme to that on my '81 850.
 
Had a meeting in Knoxville yesterday afternoon so rode over in the morning on I-40. After the meeting I spent the evening with Mr & Mrs BAATFAM sampling bourbon whiskey from BAATFAM's bourbon library as he calls it. Had a great time visiting with them and enjoying their hospitality.

Took the long way home from there today. A late night sampling bourbon forced a later than planned departure so I eliminated the Foothills Parkway from the route. Still I got to ride 129 through Deal's Gap and the Cherohala Skyway into Telico Plains, then down to Reliance, and a few more back roads home.

Was a very nice 300 mile day and I had a great conversation at a gas station in Telico Plains with a guy riding an 08 BMW GS.

I only took 1 picture during the day, but of course if you ride across The Dragon you'll get your picture made if you want it or not.

Sounds great Greg.
Got to see BATTAFAM and his new mocykle parking area.
I suppose Foothills Parkway is a fair trade for Cherohala.

Nice pictures Steve,
I walked the dufferin islands with the family this summer really close to the falls but quite quiet.I'm not a Clifton hill fan. I really liked the Toronto power building.

Hi Guys. I took my Suzuki to the annual All Clubs Day in Stockbridge, MI a couple of weeks ago. There were probably half a dozen CBXs there, this one was the "baddest". He had some pretty major coin invested in this bike, but it sure was nice!

I rode to a weekend conference this morning, about 80 miles on lovely lovely country roads of southern Ohio: 141, 775, 790, 218 (west to east between Ironton, OH and Gallipolis, OH). I threw my luggage in a storage bin I bolted to the luggage rack. The straps make sure the lid doesn't open, plus they are a brace against the windforce on the front side of the bin. I wanted a storage bin that I could put some gear in, and a backpack, and a suit and a briefcase, and I didn't want to wrestle with strapping stuff on.

This picture was either from 775 or 790, I think 790.

Kerrfunk: you're a dedicated rider, aren't you? That storage bin probably didn't do a think for your aerodynamics, but it got all your stuff there! Those really are lovely roads.
