Go ahead, pull the trigger Trevor!

I was at the BMW shop yesterday picking up my low seat. The owner told me he just ordered the RS in "sport" color. He said he'd give me a call when it comes in.
The RS is nice, but just a little down on horsepower for my liking... (not really, just being silly)
Love the sport color!

Didn’t go for a ride, too dang cold, even for me. Went to the annual motorcycle swap meet in Harrisburg instead. Last year I found a great armored riding jacket for a good price so thought I’d check it out again.

The place is mostly a mess of HD parts, shirts, junk knives/swords, various things made from some derivative of a hemp plant. Populated with HD riders sporting their clubs’ colors/patches. Their old ladies wearing denim vests with patches on the back declaring them the “Property of (insert moniker of their old man here)”. No judgement here. To each their own.

Anywho, no good gear cheap was to be found. But there was some neat stuff to look at:

this was my favorite.

Rich, thanks for posting the pics of the swap meet. It served as a reminder as to why I avoid those $h!t shows. Aarh.......

Had a rain the other day to wash salt off the roads.
46-48 degF today. That is about the best that can expect for a while.
Maybe should have raked leaves again.
But Took each bike for ride and to fill gas tank.

Was 6 or 8 surfers out there, and a few kite surfers further down the beach.

Not a lot of miles, maybe 50 miles total. Maybe should have had the liner back in riding pants. But was good to get out.

Didnt bother with pic of Shadow500, that was just to gas station and back.

I had 4 1/2 days off and the weather is mild enough to ride. I got out wednesday at noon for a long ride and went out to the pub that night. Ended up catching a cold at the crowded pub and the rest of the weekend spent on the couch in misery.

Sorry, no pics but I enjoyed a father/son ride yesterday and today I sent him back to Honolulu. I offered him the choice between the triumph and the bmw and he choose the bmw. Actually I sort of forced him to ride the bmw just to make him aware of the great German engineering ......

Got in a nice ride today of 160 miles. Bright sunny skies and 56?

Not sure what this piece of equipment is but I would not want to be it's target.

If you could see through the windows on this one you would be looking at the SR-71. What a beautiful aircraft.

Good to see that you got out for an other ride (and posting pics).

I gather that place would be:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
.
Offutt Air Force Base.... is a U.S. Air Force base south of Omaha, adjacent to Bellevue in Sarpy County, Nebraska. It is the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), the 557th Weather Wing, and the 55th Wing (55 WG) of the Air Combat Command (ACC),

 

[alke46]

Actually Dave, it is not Offutt Air Force Base, it is the SAC aerospace museum right off of I-80 about half way between Omaha and Lincoln Ne.

Just barley 40degF today (suppose to be colder and "winter mix" in next few days) so got out for a short ride.

Out for only 45 minutes. Stopped here for pic where can see the lakeshore dune that cant see much in summer.

Yesterday was my 57th birthday and like most years I got out to celebrate....it was cold and damp at 3 degrees Celsius.

 

[storm 64]

Lookin' good and Happy Birthday Trevor.
I just read somewhere that they proclaimed the Suzuki GT "motorcycle of the year"

Positively ancient. I suggest you start looking at mopeds. Or trikes. :glee:

Trev, nice scene. That is a good birthday tradition.
