    Took my annual ride with my friend from way back in high school last week. We had great performance from my two old GS550T's, the same models we road together new in 81. We did five days of easy riding here in beautiful British Columbia from Surrey to Kamloops via the Fraser Canyon, Kamloops to Clearwater, Clearwater to Lillooet, Lillooet to Whistler via the Duffy Lake road for some world class riding and scenery. Last leg was from Whistler back to Surrey via Vancouver .... big city riding, not fun on the highways. Photo is from the Duffy Lake road portion of the ride from Lillooet to Whistler at Seaton lake - no photoshop here, it is this spectacular! Ccccccold weather in the AM but no rain!

        Well, probably the last ride for the season. Getting cold. Trying to keep riding as long as I can since this is the first summer since I've owned the bike that I can actually ride it whenever and as far as I want, since I got the charging system sorted. I can bundle up but the wind is the real b**ch. And that weeping fork seal isn't going to fix itself. I'd like to also address the broken or stripped exhaust bolts/holes, replace the master cylinder window, and adjust the valves. Lots of projects to keep me busy over the winter.

            New York is getting too cold too fast. Thought I'd be able to get at least one more ride in this year, I guess not. Had to winterize the bike last night .

                  I enjoyed riding the Tail of the Dragon on Friday. I think I like the bottom pic better than the top, but I'm not sure. What do you think?

                          Great ride report Kerry! I like the second picture best. You have that road racer look in your eyes.☺ Now that you have a longer ride under your belt, do you have anything planned for a ride next year?

                          I'm at 15,000 miles for 2018... that's with a month and a half of minimal riding due to ailments. 2019 looks good. I plan on doing the Western United States Loop. (Ohio, Wyoming, Arizona, Louisiana, Bedford Indiana, Ohio). I'm thinking end of May beginning of June...

                            I'm running about 8000 on the Bandit (thanks to two long work trips) and about 1000 on the 550; need to even that out next year

                              Went for ride this morning out to breakfast.
                              7:45am, dark, 40degF
                              Went for a little ride afterwards.

                              This afternoon went for another little ride, 44 degF, threating rain, found place to watch the last quarter of the MSU-Purdue game.
                              Went for a little ride afterwards.

                              Only saw this one other bike all day, and that was first thing this morning.



                              Winds were calm, so something of a nice fall day this afternoon.
                              Can see a few folks out walking the pier.

                              Ew, that cloud cover is getting to look a lot like November & December & January.
