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.

anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

165 miles today around southern Ohio made for a good Easter, even with the last 35 miles in a steady rain. I was very lucky on one of my stops that I managed to see a Turkey Vulture having lunch and then caught one of his friends (there were four of them together) as he moved among the trees

The rain started just as I put the camera away at this school so I decided to head straight to the house instead of the more fun way

I went out on the weekend with both my sons, rode out to Harrison Lake and saw no less than a few hundred bikes out, some in groups of 6-8 riders.

The weather was spectacular, bright sunny day and around 18C. (64F)

That was a lot of essential travel.
 
More Jedz-isms on the road talking about tires and enjoying an early season ride in Vermont.
 
did a short break in ride of the front tire on my 919...I have got to remember that at 90 miles an hour the needle is straight up.

I had one of those rides at the dinner hour last night where things were clicking-in the zone, groovin type.
Haven't had one of those kinda rides for awhile.
Felt good.
 
I used my 1983 Troy Bilt horse to till the good earth today. Thats sort of like a ride.
Im trying to find ms paint on my laptop PIC to folow.
 
After spending the afternoon working on my new RF600R project bike, I got out on my finally-insured GSX-S750.

Gorgeous stretch of weather we're having. :encouragement:
 
After replacing the footpegs with some BMX inspired flats, I took the Sporty out for a quick 20 mile evening run.

Today I did my first proper (did a some slow moving practice yesterday) ride on my GS1000G 1981. I bought it in january and have been dying to try it ever since.

It was so nice, it shifts nicely, it has plenty of power, its suprisingly easy to manouver. I worry terribly that there might be ice (unlikely since its like 6 degrees celcius here). I found the bike far more easy to drive than I had expected.

This picture is from Nupen, near Harstad, Norway. Because of corona I am furloughed, and there is no tourists here, so I am planning on exploring Lofoten and the island around here (Harstad is on Norways biggest island, Hinn?ya). There is so much amazing nature and views, and it is especially nice now as the snow is starting to melt.

Tomorrow I will wear more clothes, this was a cold enjoyment, and Ill move the GPS mount (its too much to the side, I think I can get it closer to the speedo). I am also thinking of throwing on the side bags (just simple throw over the seat kind) so I can bring some food and water as Ill be going somewhat further (only done 84 kilometers so far).

Thank you. Its a nice place to stop for the view. In the winter we have the northern lights and soon there will be midnight sun there.

Im hoping I can get to the more scenic places soon, I just need to get the rust out of my riding skills. The roads up there is quite a lot more challenging.
