    A note to old forum members...

As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    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.

That would be an XJ750 looks a lot like a Seca though. He did a very nice job on the sidecar.

The owner of the Yamaha XJ750 was say it was one of only a few hundred ever made. It was a Canadian only model or something like that. He bought the side car body locally but had to make the frame/axle connecting rods himself. Says it actually holds the road and steers fairly well and has toured 1/2 across Canada with it.
 
Lots of bikes out today, even with the wind. Of course those huge 1 ton H-Ds don't even budge when the wind gusts. :P
 
The wife and I went for a nice ride out to Dwight, Illinois yesterday. Cuised down Old Route 66 From Dwight to Odell...

Cool old 66 station in Dwight...

Standard Oil station in Odell...

Really cool windmill in Dwight...

Just a few examples of what we saw on our trip. Thought I'd share...
 
Wasn't suppose to but I did take a ride around near Red Rocks... 35 minutes or so...

Rigged up my front break with a bolt from Home Depot just to go out for the first time in 5 weeks now... Snapped before I put my gloves back on.

Only got asked once about it. What is that? LOL That is called make it work... :lol:

Same size though. I would have snapped pics but my gloves at this point are a chore to remove. 20 minutes of pulling later... errr ehhh ahhhh errr. Not really worth a pic :p

Say a guy with a vintage 70's Triumph thing down town. It was pretty neat. Wish I could have snapped a photo. Absolutely mint. Beautiful.

After 35 minutes the dry dead nubb representing my former thumb started to complain, back in the brace please... Those Joe Rocket gloves are somewhat supportive with the plastic knuckles and leather on them. :lol:

Happy Memorial Day US'ers...
 
Spent a few minutes out this a.m.

No real exciting shots...too much fun riding to stop.

This is the courthouse square in Danville, IN.

Man all I'm doing at the moment is commuting, you're all making me jealous! A fellow rider at work just resigned so hopefully that'll be a good excuse for a short lunchtime ride somewhere...

At this rate I won't be doing anything exciting until the GSR run on the 16th...

But...you still get to ride everyday, most don't!;) If I ever hit the lottery (don't you just love that go to statement) I'll fly over there and we'll take 2 weeks to tour your country side till we find one of them little tiki hut bars that serve little drinks in with umbrellas by half naked girls:D:cool:

Half naked chicks ROCK... Especially when they are supplying us with alcohol...

True... it's still much more fun than sitting on the train! I'd just like to get out of the traffic for a bit...

And the lotto, yeah... sounds like a plan to me :D

The weather is perfect this afternoon for a ride, but I really should ride my pedal bike...it's just not the same since I bought my GS.
 
I took a ride across the hood of a PT Cruser last weekend. The bastard pulled out into me. I landed on my back and head (love my Shoei helmet) I'm okay just sore. My little 850 is also alittle sore. We'll be okay

Glad you are both ok. Hope the PT is worse off though. Those are some ugly cars.

Though everybody would get a kick out of this. Its in Geneva Fl. at the end of a community runway. It would be a cool prank on an unsupecting guest that had a few.:eek:

I have been there, many times over, quiet country roads. Pretty remote countryside, on the other side of SR46 on "Jungle Road" someone found a Florida Panther shot to death. http://articles.orlandosentinel.com...9_1_florida-panther-newest-state-forest-ditch
See the skies, that's why I haven't been riding lately tough.
 
Storm 64,
Glad you both came thru it OK. Your helmet comment reminds me of something an old riding buddy says when guys whine about the price of a good helmet. "If you got a $10 head, by all means, get a $10 helmet."

Took the wife to lunch today.
