That is not your usual style of bike, Dave....
The regular 60 mile loop, though some slow cagers ended the fun on the final leg of twisties.
Mostly dry pavement with damp looking pavement/gravel in places.
Also, I approached a corner on the ride where last time (3 weeks ago) when it was damp, I momentarily lost traction (left hander), so I was looking at the pavement thru this corner, noticing the tar content exceeded the aggregate, appearing like shiny tar with no rock content.
Usually I look as far ahead as possible, while taking in the intermediate in the peripheral, just as I was doing this (looking at pavement instead of way ahead) a grey Honda mini-van crosses over into my lane and onto a long dirt driveway on the outside of the corner.
Really, I thought, the one time I looking at the pavement instead of ahead, this happens.
Luckily he continued and didn't check up, otherwise I probably would've damaged his slider door.
I've questioned this corner many times in my head for this very reason, (driveways on the outside of corner) pay attention here, someone might be turning on this blind left.
Today it happened, but nothing happened fortunately.
20200126_165130 by Carter Turk, on FlickrTook Trevor's Free Bike to fill up with Ethanol free premium. As far as I can tell, this bike has NEVER had the carbs off. Still have factory paint. Then did the same with the Connie. This bike is the best GS ever made. But it feels like 2 more cylinders. And it doesn't care if you don't put Sta-Bil in it. Then I took the cover off the newest addition to the fleet and went for a short drive, dodging the wet spots. 33k miles, one year only color in the Z06. Hard for a fat old man to get out of....

Our 2 weeks of Winter are over in the PNW, and it has rained enough to wash the salt off the roads (although not the sand). I woke up some of the inhabitants for some exercise.

Looks like you've been polishing the freebie too much... it had way more tank decal on it when I sold it to you.
I am in agreement though, that was THE BEST running GS I have ever ridden. I have no idea how it could fuel as well as it did but it was truly amazing to ride. Can I have it back now? :-k
:biggrin:
PS: It's weird that the Corvette is designed to be hard for old fat guys to get in and out of since that's the only type of person who buys them! :wink:
Trevor was going to buy it a year ago but he bailed. Now I think I will paint the tank and enjoy it....
Even worse, the Corvette is lowered. Your butt is exactly 75mm off the ground. I now know why many have ripped seams on the drivers seat. That is where you grab to get out. If you can't get out, it's time to sell....
That giant cylindrical thing under the luggage would be great for storing a trombone or something.

Yeah, it needs to go if for no other reason than saving 20 pounds.
You're right. The tank sticker was much better.... But you don't look at it when you are riding.

Better, but it wasn't great. I still had to photoshop it when I applied for my collector plates. ^o
Btw this is a farmer's field.....that's how much rain we have gotten. Yikes...rained 26 days in January.
