    Had to fly back home to Michigan, and get the GK back together, so can have some GS pictures posted.
    Seems to be a lot of non-GS bikes posted here, even those weird things with cylinders sticking out both sides.

    SHort ride today after getting it back together.
    Stopped at this park, but decide not to go to the other side of the park thru this road.

      Dave, have you got all the bugs out from the bike being laid up for a while?
      Nope... rear brake caught fire on the way in that morning. Had never seen a rotor glowing that bright of red since I used to watch F1 races in the Senna/Prost era.

      All good now... sort of one of the bonuses of working at a bike shop is being able to put your own bike on your life and fix it while surrounded by parts and tools! Will be replacing the scorched rotor at some point but everything else is back to a serviceable state.

        Looks like some fun waves. Trying to get myself back in the water, been a year and a half since I got wet.
        The last few times out, I got pummeled.

            Man we have got some photographers in this group! Awesome shots all. Maybe some day I'll have the time AND the weather at the same time and I can post a few of my own. What's everybody using for cameras? I have a fairly fancy Nikon DSLR, and an Android phone that takes really crappy pictures that wouldn't do justice to whatever scene I might be trying to capture.

              Mine is an IPhone 6s. The camera in it is far better then the Samsung S5 that preceded it. I could get some decent pics with the Android, but conditions had to be good and night shots were generally awful. I want to get a DSLR one of these days. I find the cellphone camera limiting..... but extremely convenient.

                Made my first real long distance ride on the Bandit today heading out to Danville IL for a week long business trip. The first 25 miles of it was especially nice as Charmayne rode with me to Camden OH. When I turned left to continue onto Indiana, she rode back home by herself albeit followed by her mom in the car. I finished up with 286 miles (215 to Danville and the rest playing around town) on a surprisingly nice day.

                  or sometimes about the cheapest small digital camera I could find at Target, a Sumsung ($59).

                  THe "real camera" that I have is one of those things that need to put film in. Havent used it, nor the multiple lenses, in over 15 years.

                    Then commuting for the week? That can be a different adventure in it's own.

                      After a full weekend of being up in the woods in the pouring rain swapping out green lines and manifolds (Work for the GMC) it was nice to blast into work this AM.


                      But even with the soaking rains it was a gorgeous weekend to work up in the woods!

                        Very nice....remove the trunk and windshield, retake the photo and submit it to Triumph's marketing people for a future sales ad. Trunk and screen are practical for the real world, but potential buyers like the naked look Brit look.

                                Wow Jedz - just saw you picked up the triumph. Cool!

                                Weekend cruise with my buddy on his GS550. I got flagged down to pull over because he thought a bolt had come off my bike. Turned out I ran over a battery:
