    pics from my trip from western new york to the first gsr loudon classic rally. see this thread:

    http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...Sat-June-17-18


    first stop other than for gas was the ruins of the revolutionary war fort at crown point, ny. southern end of lake champlain.



    the bridge to vermont from crown point. had that annoying grooved pavement that makes the bike feel squishy.



    the ducati xdiavel i experienced at the demo rides at loudon. the ride leader was on a busa. myself and some other gsr members were able to stay right with him on these monstrosities. sick fast bike, capable of murder.





    and a nice little waterfall near my camping spot in the adirondack mountains on the way home.

              Eli, Lurch and I had a very spirited Demo ride on the Xdiavel... Holy crap.

              Glad you made it home safe my friend! It was great to rack close to 500 miles together!

                  Las Cruces? Right on the border, it's gotta be HOT.
                  Me, night riding or driving, like black ink. When it's raining, like you're driving on the bottom of the ocean. In the city, all artificial lighting…ugly, yellow as pis.
                  However, under a full moon on an interstate through Indiana I was alone enough to switch off the headlights for a few miles, that was fantastic!

                      We're in the middle of winter here in Perth, 5 degrees Celcius and a bit brisk riding though the Perth hills today.
                      I was introduced to a set of hills they call the roller coaster, you basically start on a country winding road and then a hill pops up in front of you, next thing you're over the top and the ground falls away from you. It widens out and you have a clear view of the hill opposite. Problem is the road just goes down and down, until you hit the bottom and start climbing again. At the top you almost go weightless going over the too and start going down again. I got the GS850 up to 169 kph and then remembered , "Oh, I'm supposed to be running this new motor in."
                      I'm going back there with the Hayabusa next weekend and see if I can do the magical top speed.
                      We went with a hunch of riders from the Perth Cafe Racers, and hit the gourmet pie shop outside of Northam, into Toodjay and then down into the vineyard area of the Swan valley for a feed and beer. Great day out on the GS850, a few little teething problems like, a oil persistent leak, lost a red reflector off the tail section, and a dodgy mirror that won't stay tight.

                          I have the same with mine. Some cushioning rubber matting or carpet underlay between the top of the speedo and the fairing accounts for quite a bit of noise. Just look at see the wear on the speedo.

                            I can just imagine how hot it is there in Cruces. But I still prefer that over heat and Humidity like here in Jacksonville, FL.

                            I'm back in Florida for my bday and it's hot/humid as b*lls. Beach time and craft beer, I'm lovin' just hangin' out! Going home with Maple Bacon Coffee Porter and French Toast from Funky Buddha brewery!
