Hi,

Hit the mid-40's today and I took break from grading finals.

Nice! I love those Indiana roads out in the country. I've been on them a few times.


Thanks for sharing,

BassCliff

Thanks, BassCliff. I have yet to enjoy your CA roads, but I will get there someday.

hah, Santa in a helicopter, not something you see everyday

I took the old Zuke (I call it "Sparky" now, due to it's constant electrical stupidness) out today for the first time in months, got a temporary fuse box in while I wait for the pc-8 from eastern beaver. Felt good to ride it again.

This in in Prescott Beach, on the Columbia River, about 17 miles from my house. HUGE ship sitting high, must be waiting to go into Portland and be loaded.

That old barn is cool. I love Indiana.

Ok Trevor, I'm going to have to start a new thread of pics on any bike but a Suzuki then I can post up my little Kawasaki as I bomb around town Great pictures!!...almost makes you think it wasn't cold out today.

Down by the river today. Ice starting to form in mid Dec.

 

[Guest]

I got out today for 2.5 hrs @ 43 degrees, yesterday for 3 hrs @ 48 degrees and Thursday for 2 hrs @ 45 degrees. No electric gear just extra layers and a pair of snow mobile pants.

Most of the ponds and lakes in central New England are partially covered by ice so you know it when you get close to one.

Hey I'll take anything I can get at this point in the season.

"Cold"

"Cold"

All you guys up north will laugh at this, got out on the Beemer this morning @ 0700 to have BK with MiloBramble. 46 and raining. WTF, this is the freakin desert. Been here too long to deal with cold weather, had all my winter gear on and still was chilled after 30 miles. The only thing that should be chilled are Martini's and Beer..maybe a Margarita...

Thanks for the desktop photo Trevor.

I'll be adding to this thread in a month or two. My project WILL run and it WILL look good.

Had several shots, but my computer did not play fair today. Apparently lied when it said the shots were imported, but was truthful when it said the shots were deleted off the card.

So here's the one I got. Nothing exciting, just a park near the house known for its Frisbee golf course--if you are into that kind of thing.

Had some nice shots down by the prison where Mike Tyson spent a few years, but they weren't all that close. Don't like to make people with weapons nervous.

Did decide that 43 degrees is about as cold as I can ride. Full mesh pants aren't really conducive to long rides and even my good ski gloves weren't up the the task today. Only about an hour riding, but long enough to get reasonably cold.

That photo even *looks* cold! Glad to see you still out and about though

Could be time to dig into some things I want to do with the bike. Been waiting to get too cold to ride comfortably and I think I'm there. Need better gear.

 

[Guest]

Sounds like a plan! It doesn't get too cold here thankfully, very happy I can ride year round!

I have one below. The bike is pretty much put together. I do physician billing from my home office and I picked up a new doc a couple of weeks ago and have a mess to clean up. Most likely going to take into the spring, so some of the time I had to work on the motorcycle goes to making a living. I work on it in fits and starts. Little things are messing with me right now, front brake light switch is stumping me, the fact that I can't bleed the rear brakes, where do all of the hoses go from the carburetor, stuff like that.

Then I see a picture of oldrookie, who lives about 45 minutes from me, out riding in this stuff (without a fairing) and it inspires me. Or makes me question his sanity.
