First Long Ride in 3+ months
I finally did it. Got out for just over 60 miles today on the Bandit and really enjoyed the day. I ensured I stayed up on the ball of the foot and moved very slowly when I got on or off so I didn't have any major problems. However, as I have been feeling for some time anyway, the leg does feel like someone gave me an Indian Burn like what we'd do as kids. (That's the twisting I tried to describe earlier Redman). I also realized I cannot kneel down with the left leg propped up and the right flat on the ground as that hurt like a mother..........
I decided to take one of my favorite rides across the Little Miami River with the intent to run south on Corwin Rd into Oregonia and over to Waynesville. But once I turned onto Corwin I saw signs the road was closed 2 1/2 miles down so once I got there I decided to take these pictures with the new camera I have. I'm still learning it but I like how things turned out.

I'm thinking that maybe the road washed out as the construction isn't far enough down to replace the bridge along one of the connecting roads but I didn't walk down to see.
Before taking off I decided to try taking a picture from lower on the bike but from waist level since I can't bend down. I got real lucky this turned out at all and definitely like how it's easier to take this sort of a picture than it was on my phone. I just didn't like not being able to see through the viewfinder very well as the helmet would get in the way. Oh well, maybe i'll just suck it up and take the helmet off for every shot I do while on a ride.

I won't be able to ride during this week because of other commitments so I am really looking forward to getting out next weekend for a longer day.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Hey, you know what "road Closed" signs mean...?
means little traffic on other side, so go on past it.....
Oh, could see ahead to where the construction was. Oh, okay.[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/webpages.charter.net\/ddvrnr\/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg"}[/IMG2]

Yup! Yesterday I out over 50 miles on the FZ1. Not legal yet so it was an early blast knowing that cops aren't out yet.
Followed up with a +100 mile ride in the T120.
It's been giving me some grief as of recent. I trust it for the local stuff but there is something going on with it... intermittent running issues and overheating.[I][SIZE=20px][B][URL="http://www.jedzmoto.com"]Jedz Moto[/URL][/B][/SIZE][/I]
