    However It was a great ride in!!!
    Sure makes a good start to the day. I'm envious it's a regular thing for you to start this way. Except of course when it's colder than a witches t!t outside, then....not so much.


    I was able to ride to work today actually. Just an eight hour class for an EPA lead paint renovator certification. All I had to carry was a pen. Passed the test and now I'm legal again.

      I took the Road Hog out last night for its first ride, and my first ride on a Harley Davidson. After doing the much needed maintenance on the motorcycle I figured I'd take it out for a ride to see what all the hype was about. First of all I can't get use to the forward floorboards. I think once I take off that heal shifter I'll be able to move my foot back more. It putts down the road fine. I decided to take it out on the highway. To my surprise it will cruise at 70mph with no trouble. However, when I twist the throttle I want to go! The Harley makes the noise like it wants to go, but it just doesn't. I guess I'm to use to the FJR. When I twist the throttle on it, I put the traffic a mile behind me in about 10 seconds! The motorcycle makes 64HP and I have the Dyno print out to prove it! Yeah, no kidding the previous owner put it on a Dyno machine! The previous owner was my stepfather. He passed away last November. I decided to take the motorcycle and try to get it running good enough to sell. I figured since it's legally in my name I'd put insurance on it and ride it a little this summer. I'll see how my riding partner likes it, she's never been on a Harley either!

        Norm, seriously? a Harley? that's putting a real strain on our friendship buddy. Don't bring that trashy thing out to Bedford.

        I hope you know I'm just yanking your chain. Ride anything you want as long as it has two wheels. See you in 12 days.

          Haha, I'll be on the FJR at the rally. I'll be heading out west for a three week motorcycle vacation leaving Sunday after the rally. I want to see what that U.S. Route 50 is all about. 🌞

              Finally finished the paint on the GS750, put the tank back on and took it out for a short spin. Man that thing is fun!IMG_0229.jpg

              When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/core/images/smilies/cool.png

                          Red, I wished I'd known you were going through Zion. I live in Hurricane, just about 40 minutes east. I'm guessing you took the 15 North to Highway 9 East? If so, you passed my house within 1,000 ft. I noticed in your other thread that you've done your San Diego to Michigan trip about 8 times in the last 5 years.
                          If you ever go through here again, let me know. I'd like to meet you and even ride a couple hours with you as you head home. Glad you had a good trip!
                          And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
                          Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                            Keith! .... When I saw Hurricane on the map, I was trying to remember who the GSR member was that moved from so cal to Hurricane. Had I remembered it was you , I would have made some effort to contact you. I would have liked to meet you also, one reason being to thank you for your bike-in-road-with-reflection picture which inspired me to take pictures on the road, well, on or next to road. And your (and BassCliff) pics of Palomar mountain (and others) is what gave me the idea that southern Cal would be great riding. So when daugter and SIL moved there, I knew I needed to visit and go for rides.

                            I stayed in Kanab two nights. Zion was great, and also enjoyed the Kolob Reservour ride outside the park.

                            My prior trips to SanDiego/Ocenside, over the last 5 years, were fly in and fly back. THis last trip (final) was fly in and ride back. (Daughter and SIL and baby moving back to Michigan).
