Warm weather in ND....hmmmm....I'll be in Minot next month but with no bike. Gotta "love" the terrain out there. And that the sun doesn't set til 10pm soon.

Yeah we keep getting these teasers of warm days and then cold again. Hit 65F so far today but dropping back into the 40's during the day with mid 20's at night...

And yes the terrain is "great" mostly flat with straights around here. Heading west or east its not to bad.



Took the bike to work today and went for a quick ride after, pretty nice except for the ~20MPH winds. Stopped by one of my favorite spots in town.

Been in the 80's here, just too tired after work to even think about throwing a leg over the bike.

 

[Jedz123]

Yup!
Great day for it!!! 57' by the time I got home, 43' when I left. SOooo Warm. Got this for mileage today:

Took the GSX up 116 to Richmond and followed 4 into Waterbury.

Stopped in front of the famous round church of Richmond and snagged this photo. Awesome building! Built in 1814, the round design meant the devil couldn't hide in the corner.

I took route 4 down to Waterbury then took 100 south till the 125 junction in Hancock... FYI it was a bad idea. the mountain roads are horrid from potholes, sand and melt, I took a beating but now I know... Took my time and enjoyed it.
Pic on a pull off on Route 100 right in the heart of the Green Mountains.

Corner of 125 and 100 in Hancock

Warmer but rain tomorrow however I have my new rain gear I have to try out so I plan to snag a few more miles tomorrow.

Yeah I'm hoping to aquire some better (warmer) gear this year to keep me riding longer. Cause it gets pretty cold some mornings but is fine after warm. Will be riding as much as I can. Mainly commuting is the plan.

And the bike looks great from a distance, needs a good cleaning though. Just not warm enough for me to feel comfortable with getting her wet...

Another 100 miles on my 919 is all. Camera is broken. Almost 900 for the month of March, not bad for winter around here.

I have full insulated leather pants and my leather jacket with the fleece liner. It keeps me pretty warm. I can usually get about 10 miles in 20' F. Upper 30's I can reach out about 100 miles at a time. Today I could have racked more miles on but had to come back into town to go to work... Oh well. I remember first staring out too... I didn't have very good riding equipment. Good equipment will last years, keep you warm and save your hide if you fall (heaven forbid). Worth ever penny! I also have a heated vest for those cold days I'm feeling overly ambitious to get over 100 miles...

I'm getting a High VIZ Viking DOT approved rain/winter suite. Suppose to be here tomorrow or Monday. That's suppose to be the best at sealing against the elements and with the liner it's rated to -20F. We will see. Only suppose to get warmer from here on out but I do ride in everything so high end rain gear was the next logical buy.

Well Bike looks good regardless. I use a Honda spray and wipe in between washes. Pretty good stuff, goes on everything (Minus seats and tires).

Works great on the B-King, Bandit and GR650

the FZ1 needs a power wash every time I'm done with her

Good luck bud! Ride safe!

That Honda polish does not work any better than Lemon Pledge and costs more. JMO

Good Lord ! I must admit I'm impressed. If it gets anywhere near 0'C here { which it doesn't very often } I'm parked with visions of black ice. Enjoyed your video.......

I got out in the 60F weather this afternoon. I thought I'd see more bikes but only 1 other out there on my 25 mile ride. Frost heaves and sand still make it tricky but it was nice not to be cold for a change. Plenty of snow still out there and dirty snow banks in pic will take awhile to melt away. The old GS1000G just keeps on ticking. Would have been a bargain for someone here when I asked, but I'm keeping for now.

 

[Jedz123]

Glad someone else capitalized on this 60' day! I saw allot of bikes today at least 10.

Lurch if I didn't know better you look to be in a desert. LOl there is allot of sand out your way. We just have clay here... Glad the 1000G ran great for ya!

Maiden voyage with B-K 2 up with my G/F. We got about 70 miles on then came back for a "nap"

Pics of us enjoying the ride.

We stopped in Orwell for lunch at the Buxton general store. then continued our ride around Addison county.

She shot some pics of me taking it out to take a run down the road and back...

Great day for it. I also got some Go-Pro Footage... I'll compile something

Getting some rest before I go into work at 6 PM for 9 hours...

Pizza and coffee run this evening, a Brazilian couple from Sydney opened a pizza joint north of the city and it's a favourite spot for riders. Then a quick trip down to the beach for coffee by the sea, clocking up some miles on the Hayabusa.
Sunday night in Perth is great because most people are away for the four day Easter weekend, or tucked in bed, and the freeways are almost deserted.

then came back for a "nap".

I bet you were exhausted.....

 

[Chrkut]

Got her started last night, so took her out for a quick spin this morning before having to sleep for work tonight. Yes this is me.

 

[steve murdoch]

Another proud GSer. Excellent!

 

[cowboyup3371]

Had to go into work today to try catching up on a project and decided to ride the bike. Almost put my self into a position of receiving a performance award but saw the gold stripes on the side of the Sheriff's SUV as I approached it from behind (he was on the left side of the road) just in time to slow down to the proper speed limit.

Ride home could have been longer but it is Easter and I am supposed to be at home.....

 

[Guest]

The wife and I went out for a jaunt on the GS1100 today, didn't get any shots out, spent the whole time riding. But, I got a couple of her all shined up prior to the ride.









Glad spring has finally shown up.

Had good family time early afternoon at sons, with grandkids, and our daughter visiting from California.

50 degrees later this afternoon.
roads washed with rain earlier this week.
Get GK out.

River free of ice.
But boat docks not in place yet.

Lake Michigan still froze.

am not really in the sand on the beach.
Am in a resteraunt (closed for winter) parking lot next to beach that had just recently been dug out. And had some more sand blown over it.
First use of the "panmoramic" feature.

Can get closer to the river channel out to piers now. Not a lot of people walking there.

Was good to get out.
was good that have some airflow thru the helment that wasn't lifethreatining hypothermnic, like just a couple weeks ago.
Was out for about an hour.
Hay, have survivied another winter.
