My First Proper Ride in 20 Years

My First Proper Ride in 20 Years

Finally got one of my GS1100s rolling and out on the road. Went for a quick spin in the Kent (UK) countryside. You can see the Oast House in the top left hand corner.

The sheep were not amused:

Fall Colors Ride

Fall Colors Ride

Might be the last of the nice days for a while, so better get that ride in,,.

Scott, how do you get on and off the GS?
Not kidding, i would have to park beside a curb or railing.

It is a little long legged .

I am not quite 6' tall, but I have a long torso and short legs. Most of my bikes are tall and I'm getting older. There is not way I am going to be able to handle them when I am in my, well, "older years" I probably need to buy a TU250 while I can and save it for later.

Beautiful picture, Wizard.
The colours, a winding road and the mountains in the distance would make it easy to play hookie from work.

Work?

Work?

That was about as much traffic I saw.
Was real nice to ride without regard to the Speedo (or GPS).

I did actually make it to the Mountains,,..

But it was purty cold up there, so motored back into town, got a Snubway Smashwich, had a late lunch, good for tummy, good for soul.
I gave up on "work" a long time ago,,.. but always busy here somehow,,..

Just the most beautiful day

Finally took Julie and the bike for their summer holidays (for a day!).

Went to the Reculver Towers on the Northern Coast of Kent (UK). It was 20 deg C (way above seasonal norm). Bike went great. We loved it. Stopped for a pub lunch at The King Elthelbert Inn.

That was it. Summer holiday; done.

Greetings

Nice Pix,people...it's hard to beat the foothills of Alberta for natural scenery, or the variety and interest of Britain...now, if only there were a few ruined keeps on those hills in Alberta...

Rode my 1100 around town today then got home and it looked like my 750 was feeling neglected so I took her out for a little spin. Then I took my wife's 400 Bandit out for a spin. That 400 is Sooooo fun!! Life is good!!

Hey, 46 degrees this morning (other days this week have been upper 30s or just barley over 40).
Went for breakfast.
Stopped along way for sunrise photos.

Nice shots guys! And yeah Trevor I'm still lovin' my 450, so much fun in the twisties!

I got out again yesterday with a couple of the Katana boys, a new rider, and John82q with his passenger-less chair... didn't slow him down much

Very cloudy and a few sprinkles but no rain so we were still able to have lots of fun.

The view at the Pitstop Cafe where we have brekky is normally awesome, but yesterday couldn't see much:

Looks like clouds were down to about the level you were up to.

Did bribe wife with lunch at a certain restaurant she likes in Whitehall (has outdoor seating in a flower garden) for us to go for ride.

She took some pictures from back seat.

Not much fall color.
But, .... bee-ute-tee-full day for a ride, especially in October.
About 70 degrees, mostly sunny, calm.

The most color we saw was this place along the highway.

 

[Guest]

Nice, we don't get those colours here come Autumn (your Fall). Most trees are green and leafy all year 'round...

Looks like clouds were down to about the level you were up to.

.

Pretty much... last few hundred metres of the fun road we take up to the top suddenly turned damp as we entered the bottom of the cloud... still didn't curb our fun though

My son and I went for a 220km ride today. Beautiful weather we are having here. This is up on the Malahat over looking the Pacific...

Nice looking bike! an eight valve 300! that has to be a rare bird!

Nice pix trevor, wonderful depth in the blue- I eat my words -that backrest looks pretty cool!

 

[Guest]

You know the funny thing with that "wonderful depth in the blue", it's taken with his crappy old phone! great fall pictures guys, keep them coming.
