Last night's moon was fantastic. I wanted to ride so badly, but worked too late. Noticed the moon on my way home.
Tonight it's cloudy

150 mile loop and discovered 2 new twisty sections of tarmac.
Lived here for 35 years and never been on these roads.
Must have been 50 plus new corners.
Fake news for sure.
Didn't stop to bother with pictures, had to be the most satisfying ride in a while, with fresh rubber as well.

i had to ride to a work thing early the other day and after that i was free to wander. got up to highway speed for a while on rt. 390 for a temporary roadtrip buzz.
a very haunted looking house
the old genesee canal.
locks. there are several in this area because of the dramatic elevation change. there were 106 locks on the whole canal.

Interesting cut on the windshield. do you have any buffeting sound since it's been cut down?
Great pics by the way. Love the old locks and all that green stuff everywhere.
The windshield was so old and scratchy I couldn't see through it so I cut it with a spiral saw. The wind kinda flows across the top of my helmet at speed. Not optimal I guess but I'm OK with it. the "ugly " is my work, cold weather, big road trip and old lady hauling bike.
It is finally warming up around here. I'm not saying it won't snow again but I'm starting to feel comfortable going on longer rides.

Got home from an 11 day ride on the 83' 1100ES. First time taking it on any sort of ride longer than 150kms since I bought it from a member last fall. Other than replacing the starter solenoid it never missed a beat.

Windy day yesterday in Western NY, but I thought I'd go get the 850 inspected anyways. I always love going in for inspection and listening to the guys at the shop talk about the bike and how nice it is for 39 years old. They say it's one of the only 80's GS bikes they see in their shop all year. I guess we need some more GS owners in Western NY.

Good on ya for keeping the bike running! That was the biggest reason I turned the GS750 in for a newer bike... It was spending too much time in the shop and not on the road. It was struggle to do 20K miles in a season with it for it just constantly needed work... Herad the 850, 1000 and 11000 G models are by far the most reliable of the GS's... My 16V 750 was not... Served it's purpose as the $500 beater that got me to love the lifestyle of being a motorcyclist.
Now I crest 30K miles in a season, mainly just going into the shop for tires, fluids and pad changes. The Triumph though has not been the most reliable of bikes however more so then the Harley's from the years prior. But I'm always riding because I always have a reliable air cooled Suzuki in the fold.
This was actually from yesterday... Pouring rain. 70MPG FTW!

I visited the Veterans Memorial yesterday. This weekend the place will surely be bursting at the seams with visitors.
The lifelike sculptures are just incredible to walk around.

1st track day this season
Had an awesome track day!!! For a 29 year ole bike, it was KILLER!!!! For a 65 year ole dude, I was decent!!!
Was on the over run parts of the track 2-3 times cause I turned in too soon, front tire held it.
It was just me and younger dude on a Buell battling it out. He was mo betta through corners, I'm still not there. I had mo power and better braking skills.
Here's a pic from last year, same track.
