Friday lunch. Using my new jacket lock, which also keeps the seat cool.

Ran south today and found some new roads east of Mason that were nice getting to Fayetteville OH before turning around thanks to a phone call from home with issues that needed my help. Ugg, I wish I could get away for a couple of days but still put in 130 miles

Had never heard about a jacket lock.
Is this the one you have? Do you like it?

I made my own jacket lock. It's a 1/16" coated cable that runs from wrist to wrist just like mittens on a string for toddlers. There's a loop at each end and I wrap the jacket around the bike, pretty much, and use the helmet lock for the cable. I just leave the cable in the jacket. You get used to it pretty quick.

Ah a little winter riding. The good and the pi*#ed off. Bit of scotch mist on leaving home. Cleared during the morning. Roads were damp in a lot of places. Saw a MFP Ford car when fuelling up. Bike ran great. Lunch was good. Was 2?C to 11?C today. Rode about 600km, mostly country hilly roads. Though some di*#@ead backed his chopper thing into my bike and scratched it Grrr! To say I was a bit angry would be about right. Not angry enough to start swinging punches, I just hope he pay$ for it to be fixed.

Morning ride.
Always a bit sad to put the liners in the riding gear knowing that warm weather riding is nearing an end. 52? at 6AM.

Lots of fun stuff to do as summer winds down. This event was called Wings and Wheels. Air show, car show, radar run. The bike show was kinda lame but the cars and planes were outstanding. Ill run the radar run next year. This my pick of the bunch. My favorite are the rat rods

12 miles today, gravel roads mostly

It's the Gilbert Riparian Preserve. Really nice gravel and dirt paths. Pedestrians, runners, bikers and equestrians all share them.

I've been out a few times this week on the 850 but no pics. My son Ubered his way home last night and needed a ride earlier to retrieve his car. We hopped on the bike for that one.
I have not been riding the DL but have been reading up on the V-Strom forums learning a ton about the new (to me) bike, ordering parts, and working on getting maintenance up to date. Oh, and blowing up Bwringer's inbox with noob questions about the Vee. Thanks again for your input, Brian. I haven't owned a chain driven bike for many years so lots to catch up on. After poking around elsewhere I gotta say, the GSR ROCKS!

Went on the maiden voyage on my $100 GS last night. Carbs are SPOT on. Rips and roars. Still need to do some work (Head bearings). 530 Chain conversion, Nissin front master, new Calipers and my tuner told me the motor is confirmed to be freshly rebuilt. PO told me he spent big coin to rebuild the motor. Definitely runs and looks to be solid. Engine is very tight, no leaks and no rattles. Healthy 14.3-14.8 at the poles... Charging system is brand new. Tires are also new..
Sounds awesome.
Something about a GS750!

I think I have the grab rail for that, I'll have to look to be sure....you can have it, if you want it.

Cool on getting the $100 750 on the road. Is that front rotor cooked or is there a wierd light play in the picture?

Mhmm looks it but the brakes work very good, I'll take a further look tonight when I get home. Might be the reflection of the blue garbage bins. Good eye Glen!
I brought it into the shop last night for the headlight stopped working. Bike is nice running unit though, mid 14V while running. Someone seriously put some time and money into the power-plant.
Registered and insured now... Just have to get it to pass inspection. It will need a headlight for that. Wiring never scares me though...
Hope to put some miles on it before the snow flies!

Great looking budget bruiser, Justin. My new toy was 12 times the cost, and I already dumped money into mods.

Rode six miles today after work, played around in a local park, then scooted home. Tomorrow is the day I take the GS to work each week: Thor's Day.
