Smokers in full helmets mostly?)

      Thats my buddy chewing gum on his FZ6. I was the guy in the full face on the Silver B-King. I hooked my GO-Pro on his bIke to get some good shots.

        Forecast is 5 days of 60's and 70's, went for a 40 mile ride after work. Sure wish we had some interesting scenery.....
        I live 10 minutes from everything, 10 minutes to the middle of nowhere. But it ALWAYS rains, so don't move here

            Washington apparently is the new California. Although we don't have any water either this year.....

              Windy ride and a close call.

              Got out and put some decent highway miles on, I was hoping to get a good amount more but the wind was pushing me around too much, getting up into the 30mph gust range. But it was still a decent ride. Even though I had to end up on the interstate.

              Stopped by the the slough and took a little break.




              Ran out of pavement for a little bit.




              End of the road, I was trying to cross the river but couldn't find a bridge on this road.







              On my way home about 2 blocks away I stopped at the stop sign waiting for traffic to clear once it was all clear I went left, well at the same time some moron in a truck decided to pull away from the curb with no indication, I grabbed the brakes and clutch and stopped within inches of his passenger door. First time I have had that close of a call on the bike. Thankfully all is well.

                When inches count! Glad you are OK.

                  Thanks. Made me realize not to just look for lights but drivers as well.

                      Put in 100 miles today after mowing the lawn running through roads I haven't been on in a couple of years just because I've been too lazy to go over there. Sure was nice and saw some nice scenery when I stopped for a water break



                      The Paint hesitated for a couple of minutes before finally crossing the soft area in the field while her partner sailed right through it. Reminded me of Lou's reaction to mud and water.



                      Water is still high everywhere

                            Here's a video from my ride up in to the Green Mountains. Went to the NE GSR meet spot in Plymouth VT. I don't get on the computer much these days. Most of my time is out riding. 2300 miles so far this season.

                              yesterday. Fourth or fifth ride of the year on the GK. Second day trip.

                              Went into Grand Rapids and got reacquainted with why I don't like riding in urban areas. Had 4 incidents of traffic hazards.

                              Went to open house at BMW dealer, ... but enough about that.

                              Headed north out of the city and into rural farm/orchard area.
                              Too early for the fruit tree blossoms, so may need a return trip in a few weeks.\

                              Straight roads can be fun too.




                              Straight roads to Newaygo.

                              Then more curvey roads that somewhat follow the Muskegon River.





                              Got to be near 70 degrees, so was digging thru sidebag for lighter gloves ... and found a lunch bag, obviously from last fall, complete with what I assume to be banana peel and apple core - kinda oozing out of the sandwich bag. That was about the worse hazard I experienced out in the rural area.

                              .
