I managed to get the GS1000 out for a jaunt today. Never rode it last year and it felt great to be on it as usual. I took our main highway to Creston to see Fred and did a few side road excursions just cause it felt so good.

The dual disc spokes look great.

Thanks Steve. The disks was the total of my wrenching last winter. I think I need a project.

That's a fine looking machine Sandy.

Went for a 150 mile loop to Lake Cavenaugh, camera was acting up, no photos. Had a "moment" on one corner, kinda of mad I missed judged it.
It was decreasing radius left, but it had a double apex, so when I thought I was through it, there was another one, even tighter and slighty downhill.

Got the little Triumph out today. First ride of the year.

Got out for a 100 mile ride this afternoon.
One of the few interesting rides around here.
Running out of interesting scenes for pictures along that route (but that did not stop me).

Ah... where did you ride to, Bob ... ?

Just out to the Fox River. Rode up the west side and back down the east side.
That windmill in the picture has an interesting history....http://www.kaneforest.com/historicsites/fabyanwindmill.aspx

So, you did not ride to the Netherlands from Chicago.

Red, red, red....I don't live in Chicago....

I live in the 'burbs....about 20 miles out...But still, it's a little more than a day ride to the Netherlands

Thank you for this Bob, I'll just have to think of making a trip out there to see this.

Ah, Chicago to Netherlands is 4700 miles.
Carol Stream to the Netherlands is 4720 miles.
Okay, now I see why you did not ride your bike to the Netherlands, it is 4720 miles.

Your picture by the windmill, sure did look like you rode quite a distance.
har har har
Hey, Bob, maybe see you in 4 weeks.

Yeah I did!

....
AND I BOUGHT A GS!!!!

Hell Of a deal on this one! Pretty Minty but totally stock 81 GS650L.

21K miles... Runs phenomenal... New tires, Rebuilt brakes, Forks, Cables, lines, fluids, plugs, coils, R&R, stator, battery... Chrome is in GREAT SHAPE... I can't believe this thing... I got a hell of a deal on it! Put about 30 miles on it... I can't get over how perfect this thing is. I broke in the tires for the PO... He's the second owner and dropped huge coin on it for his wife, who didn't want it.

 

[bobgroger]

Welcome back to the GS insanity. I think of all the "L"s that is my favorite.

 

[Jedz123]

I'm an L freak anyway... Tkent will want me crucified... It's ok. It looks just like my 750L did... Except this time with the decade under my belt I'm not going to molest this one.

 

[Henk]

Hey Redman. Love the Zook. One thing us SA guys can teach you is about Jerkey (we call it biltong). Oooo and barbeque (braai)......now im hungry

 

[GSCafe]

Rode from Sacramento to Fairfield. Travels well for a 550.

Did a 160 mile loop to Mt. Baker Ski area, weather was perfect, mid 60's. The road is a bit beat up, and dirty, with a lot of fresh tar snakes.
The snakes seem better the faster you go. I stopped for 20 seconds to snap photo, otherwise was in the saddle. That's Mt. Shuksan, Baker is hidden unless ur on top of the ski area.
