Short ride... off a short pier? You are very trusting of dock builders!
I've heard that the dry spells we had damp down the color intensity for some reason.

Went for a little ride up the "Goat Path" on Tuesday with a friend riding my 1100g. The Cal Salmon river never disappoints.
You need to get more of that Triumph in the shot Charlie... like all of it!
I like it... cracking bike Charlie!
I did look things over, and walked out there first. And took some care as to which plank to put sidestand on.
Yah, most colors here went from green to yellow to brown in short order.

40 degF this morning.
Was gonna ride out of town a couple miles and then back into town for coffee. So didnt really suit up for the cold.
But ended up going about 8 miles outta town (see pics in "Pano"). Did get a little bit chilled, but not bad. Good ride.
Then Sitting there at the coffee shop,
Picture was about when first got there. Did take jacket off after a short while.
Sat there chatting with folks for about half hour., had some coffee..... then, man!, then I got chilled, was about shivering. That passed after a little bit. Strange how that works.
Afterwards, did take a little ride around.
THis as about as much fall color as is around here anymore.
THis afternoon is leaf raking some more.

Been doing plenty of high speed riding on my GS1100G, but it's showing the stress.
The front fairing mount is lose, and the mechanical tach is trashed.
Small part of my winter projects will be to fix and replace those.
Meanwhile, I'll post this pic of Maple leaves in my backyard for Redman.

37? when I left this morning to buy my newest accessory, a barely used windshield/fairing that was dirt cheap on Craigslist. It was about 60 miles each direction, had to stop twice to quit making wind and warm up a bit but made it back in relative comfort non-stop!
Nice score!
Positively balmy today on the west coast so the T-Rux got some more exercise!
Passed Trevor on his Cooley heading the opposite way during my ride so I wasn't the only one out enjoying the weather! :encouragement:
It warmed my heart to see you out riding today Dave...saw you a couple of weeks ago too out in Brentwood.
We were a motley Cr?e today...my Cooley, 75 Honda 750 four, 2003 Concours and a 2013 GS1200 bmw...sunny and 65ish...gotta love the island
Looks similar to the Silhouette (circa 1982) I had on my 650G. But I can see it is a more modern one.
Yah, that will make a big difference, really extend your season for you. And ride a lot further in cooler temps. Take wind blast off body and neck and hands. And the lower portion takes some off the knees.
Did you feel like something was pushing you forward?
You are kinda tall, so maybe you need it to be upright.
I found a significant difference weither it was tilted back a bit or standing more straight up. Just an inch can make a difference. So you can try that if you have that possibility and if you are experiencing anything you want to minimize.
Yah, I would put that fairing on in late fall to extend the season. Leave it on in spring when still cold. Take it off in early summer.

I was wondering if you four were together... the car between you and the rest of the group threw me off.
Couple more from last night. It was a beautiful night...

It's a National Cycle Plexifairing which is still being made, was able to download the installation instructions before running over to buy it. The instructions said to set up the angle of the windshield parallel to the angle of the forks which is what I did, the bike acts like it doesn't even know it's on there! This puts the top just below my line of sight and keeps the wind off my face and helmet but is just a tad low to completely block the hand grips. The very outside edges of my upper arms get a bit of wind as do my legs but with the rest of my body staying warmer it's really a non issue. I'm going to lift it up an inch or two this morning for better hand protection and see if the top gets in the way from seeing, no biggie if I need to drop back down though. Making a run over to Traverse City tommorow, wouldn't have even considered it before yesterday!
