Perfect day for a quick spin around town....
Hey, I used to have a few of those and one in that color. Someday when I grow up(again) I'll get me another GS.

Middle of winter here yesterday but the top was 29 celcius... ??
Made for a perfect ride though...
Made for a perfect ride though...
A customer called me in for a service call yesterday (Saturday).
Took the GK (can carry tools in trunk, bags)
Stopped here on way back. SOmething I pass by often, but this time stopped for a better look.
Later in after noon (upper 80s, some humidity) took the smaller bike with smaller fairing for ride.
Told myself I was going for ride, not stopping for pictures.
THen notice that it was overcast, so good for photos.
Nope, not stopping for pictures, am going for a ride.
Came upon a "Road Closed Ahead, No Thru Traffic" barracde.
I knew was a couple miles of some curves and then bad road & old bridge over some low swampy area, maybe the construction is there... and so a couple miles of curves with no traffic.
Yep.
Had a good time.

Interesting machinery, I watched a wooden version like that wheat thresher demonstrated at a steam tractor show.A customer called me in for a service call yesterday (Saturday).

Not today's ride but a picture I stumbled across of my '82 GS1100E after returning from a 2 week ride with friends through New England, Nova Scotia up to the northern end of Cape Breton. Our first long trip together when the bike was brand new. Two weeks of road grim (had rain 10 days out of 16), but still looked great.
Is stock exhaust (86 Honda Shadow 500, some 83-84 parts). Is a bit more putt-putt-putt-putt, but no where close to loud.
THe general appearance is of the two header pipes and that shorty muffler, but is also similar shorty muffler on other side AND a lot bigger muffler underneath.

Took a trip up to Moosehead this past weekend on the 425L. A dozen donuts from the bakery down the road in Abbot tied to the back.
THe donuts for the trip? ... or to bring back home...? or for your riding partner there in picture?
.
And here i thought we were going to get a story about visiting the Moosehead Brewery.
Not sure donuts and beer would make a good pairing.

I can agree on this!

The donuts were a request from the friend whose camp we stayed at, though I probably could have eaten the whole dozen in a sitting myself.

Took my "L" to work today, like most nice summer days. I still don't know who owns the "T".

Route 66 east of Albuquerque has engineered a rumble strip to play a song. The song, "America The Beautiful" can clearly be heard if you roll over it at 45 mph (IN A CAR) too much noise on a bike
. Sure is a neat way to control the speed on the road, wonder if they'll take requests on the next one?
Here's a neat old place in the Manzano Mountains

A 59? Chevy Truck caught in the background of your pic on RT 66. What are the chances?

Good eye! Love those old Chevys.
Rode down to Walton, KY via slab (I hate being on that) tonight for a Lee Parks Total Control class tomorrow. The weather stayed mostly dry until I crossed the state line when somebody just opened a large shower head with a light show.
Really looking forward to the long ride home Sunday
