anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

So, would this be the only place in the world where 8 Kat riders get together .... and seem to do it on a regular basis.
.

It certainly seems that way! I can't wait to get my own and increase the number even more

Actually there is one other place in the world where there are even more that get together and ride together regularly... Japan.

One of the moderators on the Katana Australia forum went there for a big event and there was a carpark jammed full of Kats... that was a site to see!

I Like KATANAS lol

Looks like a bunch of fun Eli but tell me... can you get your knee down on that thing?

no knee draggin but a good ride is quite a workout. my little old scoot has a very narrow stance compared to the newer, bigger rides. takes a bit of balancing work to keep from tipping over. especially after i enjoy my favorite canadian liqueur and riding companion yukon jack.

Hahahaha... I know nothing about snowmobiles with us having our 365 day riding season here... but it looks like it could be tricky as well as fun! A narrow track certainly would make it tricky when cornering!

As for your chosen beverages... they're purely for medicinal purposes to keep you warm out in the snow right?

[Eli69]

purely medicinable purplesess.

Once I got out of my driveway, it's a fine day. Went down to the pier ...




...to visit the sea lions.


( Washington State folk might recognize their former ferry,the Rhododendron, moored out. 'Not sure where she'll go from here....likely towed away for scrap, which is sad.)

Well we've got a little less snow down this end of the Island. Glenn, Trevor and I got out for a short 100KM ride yesterday. Beautiful day, above 10C all day.



It's not often you get to see this scenario, Glenn's beautiful Kawi being pondered over by a mechanic.

It was a great day for a ride! What a great bunch of guys at Kenco. Wayne, the mechanic, diagnosed 2 issues that I've been having with the old girl. Who would have thought that a Dyna ignition coil would fail after only a few thousand kilometer's? With only 3 cylinder's it was a little tough of a ride with the bike burping and farting all the way home!

Did my usual 70 mile loop. It was 32F when I left, but the road were dry and dirty in places. Saw a few random snowflakes. Yesterday would've been better, sunny and 48, oh well.

Thought I would throw in my 2 cents (and pics) from yesterday's ride.

Coming in for a closer look..


While Rob and I waited we amused ourselves by searching around the yard...here Rob has found a new stator! And just look at that gold mine of chaines!!

And Rob's beautiful 78



And my way home, we still have some snow around.

Not today

A few minutes ago I thought I'd go for a quick ride here in NYC. Thermometer says 36, windchill 30. I can handle that. Then I went out to the deep freeze in a tee shirt for another beer.

I guess I can wait a few days. I rode 6 days ago. I used to live up near the Canadian border; months without riding every winter. I don't know how you guys do it.

Lol...you lived in the wrong spot close to the border then. It's not cold everywhere in Canada. As a matter of fact you live in a much colder place then we do here.

Contrary to every weather report for the past week, it was an absolutely beautiful day here today. Mid 60s, sunny... I wasn't the only one on two wheels today, that's for sure.

Ran through a tank of fuel just cruising around and enjoying the back roads in this part of the state. Then when I got home I remembered to take a pic for this thread.

My Ride on Sunday, lovely day when I set off Heavy Rain on my way back, the GS coped with it all 5 degrees C, with a little snow on the hilltops. approx. 70 mile round trip.
