.......................... I lost the Go-Pro off the bike mid ride, no worries it's a go-pro it was no worse for the wear. ............]

Thanks for posting.

Now, tell me, did you purposely park bike in view of the camera? That was great.


I lost my first digital camera off the bike. (this after having film cameras for decades). In my mirror I could see it bounce. Went back and found it. Case was open and circuit board hanging out. My first thought was "Oh, No! All my photos have been exposed to light." oh....

Out doing some errands and a bit of a ride. Nice view of Victoria looking east, you can see Mt. Baker in the background. Super nice day today.

No It wasn't intentional I just so happen to park right across from it. The Go-Pro is one robust piece thankfully. Cool little short. I'll do better next time. Ordered a bunch of new sticker based mounts for the BK.
I really never used film based camera's (Except video cams that used magnetic film). LOl But I get the idea.

Oh and my condolences to the BMW... I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to it.

You guys are really getting blessed with the weather!!! We hit a high of 8' F today and tonight we will see -20' F. Next thaw day is next Saturday ( if we are lucky) But believe it or not in a matter of weeks we will be above the freezing point.

Ride safe and keep the pics coming in PNW riders so we can live vicariously through you guys!

I rode to work today. now i'm working at my other job 3-11 and I actually drove the truck. Haven't drove it since last Thursday and I decided I might like driving it home at 11 instead of the bike. Don't know why. It's supposed to be down to around 5 (40) tonight when I leave work.

I have to agree. You guys out west are blessed. Ontario has been blasted with lots of snow and freezing cold temps. Last nights temp was -20C. The high for today -7C with more snow coming. The groundhog never said anything about ridiculous cold weather for six more weeks.

I looked at my bikes today. It was -16F.

edit: it is now -20F (-29C) and the bikes look colder...heck it's hard enough to breath never mind climb on the bike. :cower:

 

[trevor]

I feel guilty posting pics with all the bad weather so many people are experiencing..but what the heck.

Warning...I was on the Bavarian Bit*h today....

Took the 850L out for a blow today, just a short ride of 68 miles.

Jed: You know how scary your video was (and I knew to expect the camera dump)?

I don't know how expert a rider you are, but I know your location, the temps, I see all the snow and I know what a B King is. Please wait a while for your second ride.

Park her indoors, I don't care if you have to roll her in the front door, get out some rags and your cleaning supplies, and try to resist.

It was taken Sunday when it was 40', sand was the issue no ice or snow on the roads. It was like ridding on a dirt road... Which I do allot up here in the green Mountain state where over half of the good mountain passes are dirt. I definitely won't be ridding till we get another above freezing day and I'll be using the FZ1 for she has better tires for the job. I had to take it out, I've been saving for 6 months for the bike. I ride all year round too but with a record 27 day stint bellow freezing, I needed to ride... I'm ticked for I generally get 200 miles on a month in January and February... Not this year though. If it's bellow 35' I won't ride. So it's given me very little opportunity to do so this year. Anyway The B-King is all cleaned up chain is clean and lubed and wrapped up in tarps with a cover. I spent maybe 10 minutes ridding but 45 minutes cleaning it up after the ride. lol I have no means to bring it inside... All bike entrances to my shop are locked up with 4-8 foot high snow and ice banks. I'd pick at them if I could but it's too damn cold to stay outside for prolonged amounts of time. And since my only means to my front door is a stepped entrance I can't just roll it in... Thanks for the concern Rob but I wouldn't take it out if there was risk of snow and ice on the roads...

From one ugly bike owner to the other, I rather enjoy seeing your mutant K! It's so lush your way! Very green. I can't wait till spring comes. Now it's starting to drive me nuts. Oh well I guess I got my cage.

Ignore the fear mongering pantywaists, take it out and flog it like a rented mule! Show it who's boss and earn its respect.

It's lush and green for a reason LOL..........

LOL... Now this is coming from a man that told me you cant hug a B-King, you humble down and kneels before it....
As much as I'd love to go and earn my stripes with it it needs to break 0'C. Looked at the extended and we aren't warming up for at least another 10 days. This winter needs to end.

The only thing I'll be flogging is the Yairs, that is a mule but she loves it! How else am I suppose to make it out into traffic.

LOL. Got it. Nice...

I'd take rain right now though. Rain means its warm enough to ride!!!

I went for a little ride down to Mt Shasta City to see a bike Art H bought. About a 80 mile ride in the high 40's F.

1979 GS1000L destined to be a replacement engine for a 79 E who's block has a hole punched in the case from a "case saver" bolt being to long. He blames me for this bike..................................I don't know what he's talking about. :angel: GS Rescue

Way to go Charlie! Nice to see that engine put to good use. A case saver bolt destroyed the case? Now that is irony!

 

[Guest]

Yaaa...that bike is kinda your fault Charlie don't forget to tell him to save the oil pump gears from his 750, they are the sought after ones. Glad to see Art's not giving up easily on the the ol' 750.

Yup, I'm a complicated individual!
