Took a ride to go see my step-son at his group home with the wife following in the truck. Things went well although I had to dial down the idle a bit. I need to get out and sync the carbs soon but at least it still had some good pull through the first three gears (stayed in town). I noticed the tachometer is bouncing around on me like crazy again at the 4500 mark.
 
Went for a 60 mile loop on damp roads. Old school muscle had me laughing coming out of 2nd gear hairpin. No photos during ride with a broken starter clutch, so one after in the garage.
 
Got this pic last Sunday while ridin the BMW.


Got this one Thanksgiving morning with the Honda. It's cool in lower Alabama!

Pete,

Thanks for the pictures. I'm shut up in the garage freezing, so it's nice to see someone having fun.

No worries Charlie, thought you might like 'em! Pity I had to go back to work yesterday as the weather is continuing just the same... may have to get out again this weekend :dancing:
 
Took the new bike for a short canyon blast this afternoon.

It will be a good one once I get the 675 thing going.
 
I always keep a couple of bikes at the ready whenever the salt, sand, snow and ice is off of the roads for a couple of days and the Sun is out.
As long as it is above 25-27 degrees anyway. ;)
 
72 here today rode 140 miles. Few pics from the ride below. Oh and today was the first day that I have really pushed the bike in the curves. It was a blast but it finished off my fork seals. They were pumping out more oil by the time I got home than the Alaskan pipe line. So I may have to park it for the winter until I get the cash to do the seals and the springs.

Went out with a few guys from work today, had a ball! Did some fun tight back roads on the way up to Mt Mee, enjoyed the run over there and through Woodford up to Bellthorpe Range Rd (always a blast) and back again.

Interesting variety of bikes for the run too, from my little 450 to a DR400, BMW R1100GS, R6, GSXR 750, and a GSX 1400.

Temperature about 11 deg C (52 deg F) and sunshine all the way.

Come and visit the UK for the best scenery.

As I review the recent posts, all I can say is you guys look cold with all those jackets, cold up there?
Not so here, short sleeve shirt, 80's.

I had to stop for gas, so this Circle K is where I fill up.
Dangerous intersection, it's claimed the lives of two riders that I know of.
One was a firefighter coming home from Bike Week. Deadly left turners both times.
And so it is, these little make shift monuments appear all over the roads I travel, a half mile or so, another one, two more miles still another one.
It's an ever constant reminder of the dangers we face in an otherwise tropical paradise. You can see my bike at the pump.
This kid was a local high school football hero, van turned in front of him,
didn't have a chance.

As so it was, on this nice morning I had to run to the post office to mail a package, and this is the Christmas Post office to mail my Christmas package to a fellow GSR member as a Christmas present.



Yes, it's Christmas all year round here! yeah, my light is on, and the motor is running.




This little Christmas scene is all year down here!
 
I just had to get out for a ride today! It had been 17 days without riding. Not cool!!:mad: I think that is the longest I have gone in the last 2 years. And I even had a two honeymoon last year.:D Back roads were a bit wet but I'm loving the new tires!
