Flying brick cafe style




SB4 Bimota with GSX1100 engine


My buddy's FS1, he collects 50cc's, has just shy of 100 of them, seriously.




Kawa triple


Ring Ding Ding...RD250LC


Gorgeous Z900




Another stunning GS1000G that belongs to the owner of the bike shop down the road from me.
 
Eddie Lawson Replica
Not sure I would have modified a collectable bike like that, pretty silly I think.






And one more of Jennifer, just because she is so pretty.
 
The Bayerishe is handsome;
Your Jennifer too;
Gullwing on a Kat? A bit too much for me;
Can you recall what is that appendix right below the left-hand turn light of the bike shop owner?

Having said that, where is the registration going to be accomodated on the K1000/750 ?
And what about the blinkers? And I bet the coin-sized tail light (if any) is going to do much for visibility. Take it as an humble advice to future resto-modders:rolleyes:

Aaaah Stan it's great to see Jennifer out and about at last!!! I haven't logged in for ages so it is great to jump in and see her out in all her glory :D

And Glen... cheers! The GoPro is definitely great stuff, lovin' it!

That is the lower portion of the fairing, he has the fairing from the GS1000S mounted.
Yes, although I can appreciate the work that has gone into the Kat, it is a bit much for me too.
Yes the tail light on the flying brick is tiny, it has a number plate, a small one, if I remember correctly it sits on the side down by the axle, I think.
 
Rode to work a couple days this week.

THis afternoon went out on a short ride, with idea of looking to see where tree colors might be changing as compared to least weekend (and pondering.. "when did I get to be so boring...?)

FOund some swans in a bayou

Went down by beach in town.
Found sand blown across the road in some places.
Deeper in my lane and less in other lane.
I suppose I could go over in other lane, but, naw, its not that deep, and I have enough experience to deal with it.Downshift, high rpms, don't go slow, weight on pegs....
nope... I missjudged something... dumped it... dumped it hard... I came off bike and rolled....
got up... stepped back to bike, hit kill switch,.
... took a couple attempts to get bike back up with feet sliding thru the sand (do the back up to bike lift thing)
bye then had one guy runn up to help, and another car stopping ... and a guy on an Indian going around me....

Got bike up, got on it, got it running, but would just spin rear wheel, not going anywhere.
So got back off, and pushed while spinning rear wheel, and got out of the deep stuff.
I thanked the guy that was helping push, and took off before someone came along who might consider I was reckless or something... so no pictures.

Go a few sore muscles in back and belly, probably from the exercersion of lifting bike while feet slipping out.. Had some sand in back of neck, probably from the roll. GOt a mark on top of tank, maybe where my boot came across it.

I suppose I should be better at judging the depth of the sand (a common occurance along there when windy).

Rode to Maryland for a recertification class for work. I was initally hesitant to ride for a work related trip, but when else will I get to ride and have hotel fare, gas, and tolls paid? The first half was frenetic interstate abuse in windy cool conditions. While not a fan of interstate riding, It does bring out a controlled aggression in the name of self preservation that I occasionally enjoy. Once off the interstate, I rode rt 15, a fairly open state highway into Md. At one very cool point, there was a nearly full moon to my left, and a beautiful sunset to my right both over wide open fields.
I had hoped to arrive before dark, but failed, and I found myself trying to find the hotel at night in unfamiliar territory.
Hopefully i havent screwed the pooch as Friday is calling for a 40% chance of NOT rain........Hows that for a positive spin?
 
Rob and I gave Glenn a little hand with some furniture and I took this photo of Rob before we left. The Gentleman Tourer strikes again. lol

Looking for an auto supply to get a turn signal bulb allowed me to do a little exploring while down here in Md. A guy on a Bandit gave me thumbs up. Its been a while (years) since I did some riding in a location I had zero knowledge of. It was fun.

How can a New Jersey boy in Maryland not stop at the New Jersey Monument? It was dedicated to a New Jersey regiment that came down to fight in the Civil War.

Hoping that you are getting healed up. Been to a Doctor yet?
I thought that Highwayglider was the resident expert on taking the GK off-roading. ;)
 
Did some more poking around today.
Found an abandoned dragstrip. I soooooo wanted to get a pic of the bike on the strip, but could not get in.

Ended the day on a very sour note......

F me......

Had a very enjoyable ride with friends Sunday, 274 miles worth. 101_1221.jpg The gathering begins, Ooops okay, gonna have to do it 3 more times. Didn't have them in my photo bucket yet.
 
101_1229.jpg The Capitan Mountains in the distance, home of the late Smokey the Bear. We are at 9,969 ft at the Look out. The Capitan Mountains is one of two East/West mountain ranges in North America, can you guess the another one?
