Did a 100 mile loop on the ES before the rain hit. Some sketchy road conditions with remnant gravel in many places, especially the middle of tight corners.
Lots of logging going on around here, the few cars in front, were throwing up a rooster of dust.
Some areas were shockingly denuded of trees, logging done on mostly super steep slopes, over 50 degrees. Weird.
Had a few marbly slides front n rear on gravel, so had to be on high alert most of the ride.
The stock 1150 seat is miserable too by the way.GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

Yeah, fake news. Haven't posted a shot of anything since the Photobucket shenanigans.
Signed up with Imagur recently, but haven't figured out what to do next.
As in loading photos from a phone. My handme down Mac book is 14 years old,
each day another site won't load, the latest being RRW.
I can still look at the weather, this site, a vanagon forum, another motorcycle forum and Youtube.GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

Today is Suppose to be the nicest day of the year so far, maybe 60 degF.
Headed out for a bit of a ride before breakfast. 38degF.
Thought that might be sunrise over misty bayou, ... but nope, was just foggy.

I had to support a couple of hospital computer system moves today in Cheyenne WY and Indianapolis IN so couldn't ride during the day despite it being very nice out. Did get out after dark to run a quick errand but nowhere picture taking worthy. Will have to wait until next weekend for the next good riding opportunity thanks to the weather forecast tomorrow.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

No ride for me today, but a heck of a long drive. I picked up a Dodge Ram 1500 near Breckenridge CO for my son. Left town at 5 am and drove the F 350 up there, then loaded the Ram pickup onto our trailer and headed home. 16 hours on the road, boy I'm pooped.
It was nice to see some real snow accumulation. There was still over six feet of snow in some places. Saw a snow half pipe on the slopes off of I 70. Never seen that before, it was pretty cool.Roger

No pics, but I finally got out for the first ride this year. I just took the long way running an errand or two. I needed that.
I tried out the new Olympia pants. I like 'em. Better than the Tour Master pair I've been wearing the last few years. It's nice to have back pockets again, though the front pockets are surprisingly shallow. Good thing they zip. I need to get my neighborhood alterationist lady to rig 'em to accept or incorporate a belt. A snap and zipper aren't good enough when the keister meets the road.Last edited by Dogma; 04-07-2019, 08:15 PM.Dogma

Knew level…
Been working on the tail/seat for track days. Just painted it this week, added the foam pad. Test rode it today.
With this seat the bike is very hard and punchy, my eyeballs bounce. Still getting used to riding this bike after 6 months of winter. Not used to hard braking and turning, I'm watching for gravel in the corners too. It don't feel smooth until I get it over 60 mph, perfect for track.
Pulled out of a gas station, then wound it out in 1-2 & 3rd to 10,000rpms = 117 mph. That happened real fast…
Might not put the regular seat back on ever again…
