anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Are there any roads around there with some curves?

Unfortunately northern Indiana is like northern Ohio and there isn’t much from what I’ve seen when I’ve been in that area.

But GSGeno, if you haven’t already you ought to head south towards the Bedford/Shoals/Paoli area where you’ll find some really fun riding.

Oh, yeah-I know northern Ohio, especially the eastern side. I spent my childhood outside Cleveland and still go back every year.

Gene, nice video. I see a lot of throttle wrist action there.
This may be the simplest and most effect mod. It works a treat.

Damn, Id love that. I feel the grip is awkward when I give it a lot of throttle.

Took the GS shopping for a mother's day gift. I'm just glad she didn't ask for a dishwasher.

When you have stuff like that on the back, how do you get on and off?

.................When you have stuff like that on the back, how do you get on and off?

It's not too difficult. When my wife rides with me, she has a hard time getting on after me so she hops on and scoots back, then I slide a leg over and we're off.

EZ way, left foot on left peg, hands on bars, step up and lift right leg over. Same as mounting a horse.

I was gonna say, either way, he’s got a kitchen aid riding pillion, but I won’t. That would be sexist.


Edit:

No offense Roger.

It was a joke.

a bad one.

I’ll let my self out.

This is what I do when I have stuff stuck. I always feel worried it'll slide and Ill be embarassed. And I bump the mirror so it gets misadjusted.

For some reason when I jump off I imagine Im flexible enough (I am not really).

If you had said that I would have laughed, but you didn't so I won't.

None taken. Even my wife chuckled at the comment you didn't make.

I almost didn’t use the more doggerel term “riding bi+§h” instead of “riding pillion”. I’m really glad I didn’t not say THAT!

Been taking fairly local rides on lockdown. This is at a Schuylkill river trailhead park I often stop at. Used to be loaded with totem poles and carved tree stumps done by a Marine corp vet. Most are rotted away now. Nice day! High 50's but breezy.

Thanks Baatfam! Site would not let me upload photos at all except as attachments. Even after resizing. No problems doing that before. Looks like I might have knackered my phone lens with frequent alcohol cleaning.

That looks so serene. And your bike is sooo clean.

Does that tank bag use magnets?

Not so clean if you're close, ha! Yes, magnets. An old Givi bag that I had used on an airhead,
