    Could have rode today, but local weather 75 clear no wind, so golf course called. Gotta find a way to carry/harness clubs on the bike...

      HooRah!

      GO SAINTS! I`m an NFC guy as well. Just wanted to give big ups to all my fellow GS`ers for getting out there and getting in a little riding and taking advantage of this great weather. Thanks BC for the kind wishes. Right back at you and yours. Happy New Year to everyone and your families and God Bless.

      SHINEY SIDE UP!

      I'm an ex-smoker, but I think it's great that you got out for a ride. I'd probably just go for a lottery ticket.

        Oof Yeah no ice fishers out this year so far... Champlain isn't even frozen over yet... Way to warm for shanties! Looking to be an early start to riding this year!

              Hi,

              I took my weekly ride out to visit Dad. It was a very blustery day but Jessie had no troubles navigating in all the wind.



              Dad and I watched the Broncos/Steelers game. Looks like Pittsburg got Tebowed!




              Thank you for your indulgence,

                Great game. I watched the whole thing because I was interested in whose playing my Pats next week. Tebow looked pretty good, no mistakes, and on target with all but a few passes. Pittsburgh definitely got lulled into thinking they would skate by Denver. We'll see if the worst defense in the league (Pats) team can score their usual 30+ points and still pull a win over your Broncos. The Pats' defense somehow get key turnovers to turn most games in their favor.

                  Rode a 45 mile round trip today to put some money in the credit union. Check out the temp today.

                    Beautiful day in Orlando, upper '70's. Took the 1000 out and got insurance on it and ran a few errands. Swung by GSRick's place. Finally got to meet him, first GS member I actually met face to face. He has a couple of dozen old GS's here and there. Too bad I forgot the camera. Broke my tach cable on the way home, skinny springy inside cable snapped, oh well, I guess I should be happy it lasted 33 years.

                        Hey Daniel,

                        I finally got around to looking at your videos. Good two-lane roads, beautiful scenery, no traffic. I'm looking forward to riding again up that way this summer.

                        Throttle stuck and almost missed my turn! Haven't been on these roads in 5-6 years.



                        From Stampede heading back towards the highway stopping at Boca Reservoir.



                        Leaving Boca and heading west towards Truckee through the "bug" check station. (Note the thorough inspection.)

                        Through the California "Bug" station to check for fruits and vegetables going into California via Highway 80 West.


                        Leaving Truckee, traffic and civilization towards Sierraville.

                        Must watch your speed as the antlered rats infest this section of roadway especially just when the Sun sets!


                        From Sierraville into Loyalton.



                        Entering Loyalton.

                          It is not traffic, LEO's or road conditions that require toning down the throttle.
                          It is the surprise visits from deer, rabbit's and bear that will get you. They pop up out of nowhere when least suspected!

                            Rode my bike for work today. It was only 0 degrees today but roads were dry and promise of sunshine. Got in 65km today and had to visit a client in the hospital today and a Doctor friend told me that they had four admissions to emergency in a row that were motorcyclists! Be careful out there.

                              You must mean Zero Celsius. Nice to see some other bikes in the commuter lot. Here (Chicago suburbs), we get only scooters this time of year, except for my 550. This week we've been lucky, high 20s (F) in the morning, and 50s in the evening. Snow tomorrow, I hear.
