You found some nice scenes.

Sunset over lake, from other side of the river/piers, looking down the channel.
Found a way to get bike down there.

Out for a third night in a row.

Went to Newaygo.

View, about sunset, of Muskegon River from bridge near Bridgeston.

I took the motorcycle for a sunrise ride to work today. It was a cool 46? morning. I pulled out the 1000e it fired right up! It loves cool crisp air. I usually drive the Buick to work, but I didn't get it back together last night. I couldn't get the caliper to slide on the pins. It was dark and getting late... I figured I'd start fresh at it today. I had to pull over to get a good sunrise picture.

And the sunset, same location 11 hour later.
The Buick is back on the road. Had to buy a new brake caliper... pain in the butt, I hate working on cars!

I do believe that was a northern bike, as I found registration paperwork in the tail piece when I got it, believe it was originally from Illinois, researched it back as best I could but it dead ended very quickly. All that paperwork went to GS Rick when I sold it. Guess it feels at home up there in the cooler temps.

It likes it up here in the north, but it misses the beach the bikini girls and the scents of suntan oil. We're going to have to get down to Florida soon. ☺

As I work from home usually and end my day at 5pm, it's a lot easier to go for a ride straight from the house instead of driving home from the hospital first to change clothes. The nights are finally getting shorter and the weather cooler so it's time to make the best of what daylight is left in the evenings. So, I threw my outer shells back on the jacket and pants and rode off to try out a road I have driven in the truck but not the bike yet. I wasn't able to fully enjoy its layout thanks to a farmer John in front of me but I nonetheless enjoyed the 75 miles I was able to put in tonight. I took this after I made the turn to start heading home


Sunset Ride 25 Oct 2017 by Scott Baker, on Flickr



As a side note, short sleeve t-shirts even under a full textile jacket are now banned until April. It got cold especially after the sun went down and according to the weather app when I got home, the wind chill had to be in the 30s already

When I owned it, I lived in the Orlando area, spent most of my time on the many rural back roads, Titusville, Cocoa, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna, were a few of the places I often frequented. I had one guy about run me off the road only to tell me he had a bike like that. One day though, I was riding on a nice back road in Altamonte springs to avoid Interstate 4 with a friend of mine. He rode a little ahead of me and to my right on a Harley Sportster 1200. This girl at a stop sign waited until we got right up to her, then pulled out in front of us and blocked our lane. We slammed the brakes and were sliding sideways, had we not let off the brakes we surely would have T-boned her. By letting off the brakes we gained control back and went in front of her. That was the final straw for me, I called up GS Rick and he bought it, I was moving to Colombia anyway, but was holding on to it for as long as I could until that happened. I really enjoyed that bike.

Scott, Please do not take this as critisism or messing with your personal stuff.

But just me playing with mo'cykle/scenery pictures, like I like to do. (and would be wiling to do better to the full resolution picture file)

Nice colorful sky there Cowboy. Man, that's almost impossible for me to get.

Here's one from a few months ago. Not sure if I ever posted it or not.
