    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

I borrowed my daughter's bike to do some errands this morning and couldn't resist getting a shot with the crabapple tree when I returned.

It's a secret. Not really, and I figured since this is a motorcycle forum my photo and comments would be safe.
Getting closer with second guess.

somewhere on Whidbey then? even though I work on the base at Whidbey, I haven't ridden more than in town in oak harbor. I'm trying to think of where that could be. I do need to make a chuckanut run either this week before I go to Spokane on Saturday, or right after I come back and move permanently to Spokane. or this could be on the western side of mt erie on fidalgo
 
I rode to lunch today at a local country club. I got a kick out of the signs that said "Speed Limit 17"
I like the out of focus picture, but I didn't plan it.

 
Been riding to work this week. 3 days so far.

Stopped here this morning, to take quick look at locomotive, and take picture.
Was just parked there. Not running. Nobody around.

I guess 17 means not 20.
I have seen 12 mph before.

I remember a small town in south Georgia where the posted speed limit was 19 MPH. If you were caught going 20 or over, you got a ticket. They didn't give warning tickets, either. Purely a source of revenue...
 
Geography. The flowering trees like the one in Lurch's pictures were at their peak about a month ago here.
I remember taking a car trip years ago. We left in early spring and drove south into a spring in full bloom.
 
Changed the oil and filter, stripped off the windshield, bags and luggage rack and went for a 50 mile ride with my wife today on the GS. Over 90F this afternoon, but I'm used to 40-50 degree riding weather up here. I don't use my mesh gear too often. Then after a stop at the auto parts store we checked in on the Triumph dealership at National Powersports. The old GS850G looks similiar to the black with gold Thruxton they had and about the same 850cc size. I think my bike would look good on the retro showroom floor. Here is the GS back home under my 100 year old apple tree.

This is the entrance to the 750-acre park a mile from my house.
I rode through it on the way home from a well-visit to my doctor. My doc is about my age (45). She asked me how things were going, I told her real good now that my motorcycle is running again. She asked what I had and then said she thinks 650 is a great size, and she used to have a subscription to Motorcycle Mechanics or something like that. One more reason my doc is super cool, although she chooses not to ride because she doesn't want her kids to be motherless.

 
Nice. After some health issues, my uncle asked his doc if he could fly. He told my uncle as long as it's not off of his motorcycle, sure.
 
Finally got the winter project out for a ride...

Charmayne and I grabbed a quick 20 mile ride around the block then to her school for her Band Banquet. Afterwards, she had her first night time ride and did pretty well especially since it wasn't quite planned (banquet ran longer than I think it was expected to). She gets her diploma on Sunday and we are hoping it won't rain so she can ride to it and the Blessing of the Bikes

I think I remember your project, but that was a few years ago? Your double headlight fabrication looks so familiar.
Very nice results!!!

200 miles on the Harley-Davidson. Rode around the lakes (Champlain and George). It was a very nice day to blast although it hit 100' yesterday and my house was 90+ when I got back. Tying to decide what bike and where today... Oh I love vacations, TUX? Connie? XG? More miles to grab too many vessels to choose :)
