Went for a fun ride in the rain today - I oddly enjoy doing local rides in the rain as long as its not a downpour and its not cold. While going around a bend, I ran over a stick laying in the road. When I hit it, the front stepped out and shook for a a brief instant. I think the stick rolled as I ran over it. Gave me a bit of a scare.sigpic

You are absolutely right, there is nothing like rolling over a little stick in the road to get your attention.

I made a last ditch effort to complete the work week but after two jobs fell through, I suddenly had a four day weekend ahead of me. Bike maintenance freshly done, nice weather, and a live in house sitter (son home from college) I said screw it and blasted over to Flagstaff, AZ. So nice here, 60 degrees F now and I swear I saw snow on the mountains still!
Tomorrow I may head North and eventually wind up in the four corners area. Need to plot a course yet. Man, what a nice ride here. No wind, overcast to block setting sun as I rode west for 300 miles.

I've been exploring new route options into work... Found one that works really well, I'm grabbing a steady 100-130 miles in... I come out to some awesome views of the sun rising over the Green Mountains...

No brother, just a sister. But I do take her on the bike from time to time.

The V-Strom 650 was fine, but I miss my GS650GL. The VS was topheavy. I think I figured out that the fuel injection made the throttle very sensitive, which was not to my liking, but you'd get used to it. Also there's a toggle switch that toggles the display for odometer, Trip 1, Trip 2, and gas mileage. The toggle switch got toggled accidentally every time I pulled the clutch in all the way (design flaw), and sometimes when I reset the turn signal too. Sometimes the display told me the time, sometimes the temp. I didn't know how to select that.
My brother had a fine viewing position and he had grab handles too. It was bulky for him to mount the bike with me on it and the sidebags. We rode for 5-6 hours, so he was up there a long time. I was able to get 195 miles on the tank, with two grown men riding highway speeds.
I look forward to my 650GL and to collecting more states! Oh, this rental was about $150, 24 hrs, unlimited miles.
