    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?

Finally got the TT600 out for a couple hours today. Got a couple small things to address, but overall a good ride.
Stopped by the old Texaco station on 144.
 
Been going on small rides as a diversion to dad being in hospice. Worked well. Sorry to say dad passed and a small celebration of his life was Friday. Dad would not go riding with me, always figured it would kill me. Came close once. So last Wed I packed dad in his Urn into the trunk of my bike and took him to the places he grew up in White Bear lake, Mn. Its a short beautiful drive on what was a spectacular fall day. We stopped at his favorite beach, shared a bump,shared a story and watched the wind surfers. He will be missed by many. May he rest in peace.

Also sorry for your loss. Good that you finally got to take him for a ride.
 
Some more ivy and grape vines changing colours in my area.
Too early for the trees but chance of frost tonight might change that.



 
Out riding in Fort Langley with my 16 year old son, I thought this would make a nice shot, cranberry harvest.

Not too bad for an iphone.

Love that old Texaco sign. Even it's post is artfully designed.
Me too....
Since it is only about 30 minutes from my house, I think I will stop now and then, and try for something more artistic...
Need to get there early or late....get some good light.
 
da frost is on da pumpkin, or at least on the Malibu in the driveway.

A little bit of fall color.

(enterance drive to a park, not a road)

Sat at coffee shop with group of folks there that have gotten to know, then ran a couple errands. Got sprinkled on a couple times before geting back home. (45degF).

Nice pic, Dave.
A couple years ago we went to a cranberry bog a couple hours north of Toronto. They even let a couple people wander around in hip waders in the middle of the harvest.
Lots of things to taste as well.
 
I rode to work today, as I do several times a week. The weather is finally cooling off, and it was a wonderful 28 miles.
 
Orange is a seasonal color ?

This week has been really decent weather -
With Am temps in the low 40's and afternoon reaching into the 50's -
That's pretty good for Wisconsin in October
I take the Goldwing because it's better wind protection ; and wired for electric heated gear with an auto style alternator
Offers lots of electrical power to run gloves & jacket liners easily -

Cool! Looks even brighter orange than usual, with the light & color from the leaves reflecting off the bike.
 
Had a big turnout for our regular Saturday morning Katana ride yesterday. 12 bikes all up including 6 Katanas. Had a few on their alternate rides for various reasons.

No point in photos of the views as it ended up being quite a wet day.

One of the guy's alternate ride is his very nice GS1000S and yes he does have the correct mirrors, they're just safely stored for protection due to being made of unobtanium :)

(Imgur made it such that can’t use the web site with phone, have to have the app.
and am not remembering my Flickr passwords. Don’t have use of home puter for a while. So no picture posting for a while.)

( now got Imgur app. Now just other frustrations.)

Dave, I had tried Google photo to host photos before going to imgur. I could only get pics to show up if I was logged in to google, and then only I could see them. I never got it to actually work.
