Yep Redman, we get that strange thing over here they call sunshine

I live in Queensland, nicknamed the Sunshine State

Boriqua, I can only agree 100% with your sentiments, and you guys get the opportunities for dirt cheap Kats over there, so definitely keep your eyes open! People want stupid money for not so good examples here now, which is why I'm justing building mine a bit at a time as I couldn't afford a complete project Kat.

Not sure Steve, that lot there is all vacant and truth be told I didn't pay that much attention... but looking now they're some good sized blocks!

It was overcast and pretty windy but still a nice day out. was about 77F perfect temps

Went through Usery to bush hway.
There is a huge sign on the side of a mountain on the road through usery. I am not sure of its history. I guess if you are in a plane it might be a good way marker. Phoenix .. dat way!

This is what lines both side of the road. Beautiful but you dont want to accidentally veer off because it would hurt bad. Forget the crash .. it would be hours of removing spines.

Its a nice little 8 mile road and on the decent you have all the mountains in the background. The road has some nice twists. Just enough to keep it interesting if you want to push some.

Along bush hway you have several of these rock faces that are just amazing. So beautiful as you head right at them

And there is my girl at the end of bush hway. Past here is gravel road and BLM land. Lots of dirt bikes, dual sports and atv's and an impromptu shooting area.

This is cruel punishment for us folks up here in the North. It was overcast all day, and didn't get warm enough to melt the snow that fell yesterday. The low this coming Tuesday night is supposed to be 4 degrees. But thanks for sharing anyway! And that sure is a pretty 750 you have there!

I like the bubble face shield, I have a helmet with a bubble shield too.

Well we got about 4 inches of snow... Rode the 250 for a good chunk today!

More snow in the forecast... My registration card is still in the mail from the DMV for the TUX (lost it on my trip to TN and back this past August). Once I get it I'll bring it in for inspection. I was followed by a police officer today for a couple of miles. Thought he'd pull me over but he didn't Nice to get out. It was in the mid 20's bike ran like a champ!!!

It has been unseasonably dry here in the NW, highs 50-ish and maybe no rain for another 2 weeks. Went to take the C14 out today but it wouldn't start. Stupid Lithium battery.... GS is too far buried, and the other 2 have moved to the new house. First world problems. Spent the day painting a bathroom.

Yeah, it will keep the bugs and pebbles off your face, but if your face hits the ground at any speed, it'll give you a few milliseconds of protection.

Boriqua that's some pretty cool scenery, gotta go a long way out here before you'd see anything like that, but then it's completely different too. It's all red dust and bush then desert I'm led to believe (haven't seen it personally), and we're short on the cactii...

Biltwell Rootbeer metal flake with Mirror chrome bubble. If you are going to pimp .. pimp damnit!

Getting past the looks though .. oh what a comfortable helmet and the bubble lets just enough air through to feel awesome but blocks turbulence I had with just glasses. I freagin love this combo!! I have actually taken to wearing a helmet every time I go out after getting this setup.

Went Christmas decoration hunting this afternoon...

... and couldn't resist this bit of Canada's west coast style.

Nice shots Dave!

 

[Jedz123]

I got some shots from my attempt to ride Saturday... Thwarted by a nasty snow squall that moved in and dropped a couple inches fast... Love riding in the snow on ZR tires...

Not snowing on lake Dunmore... it was a bout 1.5 miles of clear then back into the white out...

50 Miles on Saturday... Yesterday the temps never broke double digits... Winter has moved into Vermont fast and furiously. Riding season is over .

... I'll still keep trying :twistedevil:

Great photos Jedz! Wow, you guys make me feel like a total wuss when it comes to winter riding, because I stop riding when temperature here gets down to 60?F ! Lowest daytime temperatures we get in winter is about 50?F and 40?F at night. NEVER get any of that white stuff that is so abundant in your photos!

It's nice to have for Christmas for sure... But other then that It can stay above the Arctic circle...

Thanks! Just some photos of opportunity!

But your summers are brutally hot, right? 50 -80F is great riding weather to me.

 

[Hayabuser]

Finally rode this today... for about 100 feet around my complex.

First time it's turned a wheel in over two years though so it's a good start!

Still have some tinkering to do (right fork started seeping... hence the temporary bandaid on the leg) but I'll get it ready sooner than later. Been a little preoccupied with a car project at the same time which is splitting my time up, luckily with my seasonal lay-off, I have plenty of time!

Gorgeous bike Dave!!!!!!

That's a tasty Kat right there! Was that Rob's?
