anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[Baatfam]

That it was Bob. Hard to believe we didn't get a single picture!

I put 107 miles on my DR350 today playing a tag game. First 30 miles was on the Interstate. Very surprised that the little DR350 actually hit 80. Even a little faster downhill

. The last 20 miles were in a pretty good shower so now I know it runs in the rain. Lots of fun roads in between these two tag pictures.

This little bike really brings out the hooligan in me...

It looks very flat where you are. Do you not have hills in central Tennessee?

Some pictures from camping over the weekend on my GS450:

Found this dirt road covered in snow:

I think I might have been a little to eager with the camping in April. Dropped below freezing around 2am.

Getting ready to try to make it back down the hill:

Broke down somewhere in the Hudson Valley:

It was my `Ignition' (Toggle) switch. Vibrations killed it and cut my power so I had to take it apart and reassemble (twice actually). A guy on a BMW stopped to make sure everything was okay but I was back up in ~20 minutes or so.

Did a good 400 miles but I wish it was more.

That's the way to do it!!!!
Bummer you had to fix it in public, gonna hurt GS resale values in your area for the rest of the year…

Bob...we do have some hills here in the middle of the state. But also we have a few of these areas that are known as "level." These are the flat places you notice. You might remember this "level" geographical feature from your time in Illinois. West of here (Memphis) is even flatter!

For those that have yet to visit's Bob's new place in Knoxville TN, here is my representation of parking on his driveway... It's so hilly there he's forgotten what level ground looks like!

What an awesome share!!! Thanks for doing so!

The GS450 is such an awesome little versatile bikes. For roughing adventures like that it almost seems less is more.

Glad to see you managed to get it back in one piece!

I love my GS450 and definitely wouldn't have been able to get to my camp site on a larger bike. I actually had the bike OFF and was pushing it over ice for about 40 yards since giving it any gas was just spinning the wheel ahaha. You get tossed around by the wind a little on the highway which gets tiring after 2 hours but on the smaller roads it's perfect.

One more from the top of the `Taconic Trail'

Take a bow, Brother.
Riding and camping in the cold and road side repairs earn you a couple Merit Badges.
Keep us up on the next adventure.

I went to the library (it's half a block south of this tattoo shop) ten miles away.
I ran out of gas (curse the teeny tiny tank of my 650GL). But I was literally across the intersection from the gas station I was heading to. Twenty feet of pushing and I was able to fill up.

Also, I found a quarter. Woot!

Another Brisk but gorgeous ride today after work...

And a little 0-60+++ run Not bad for a Harley!

Haha well I couldn't wait. Yup, about three hours from me it's one of my go to moto destinations. I'm planning on camping LOTS this spring/summer/fall if anybody has any greater New England suggestions

Come up to Vermont!!! Ask any NE GSR member, I'll put you up in my yard but drive good Vermont brew and food in ya. I could also give you a guided ride and have some real fun riding around.

I mowed the lawn today. Mowing involves dragging the scooter out of the shed.
With the lawn done, I hosed the shed gunk off of the scooter that accumulated over the winter then cruised around the block a bit.

Behold my manliness !!

So there's a life-sized pink elephant about a mile from my house.

 

[GSXR7ED]

Hey Glen,

That type of bike is great in cities like Rome, Italy.

And Kerry, so I'm thinking there's more pink elephants on parade...Or was that in the Disney movie, Dumbo?
