Put 140 miles in today. Bunch of us rode out route 66 to Arcadia OK. Had burgers at POPS. I was on the 83 KZ750 L3MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

No riding for me today. Question, are there more of you who think like me or am I just a big wuss? I tend to stay away from riding on important holidays such as mothers day, fathers day thanksgiving and christmas (yes, some years we could ride on christmas day)
My reasoning is that if something were to happen to me and I got killed by a motorist, my family would never forget the fact and spoil that particular day for all involved. Same holds true for memorial day, 4th of July etc.
We know a family who lost a daughter on the 4th of July. Not on a m/c, but on a boat. It just is terrible memories for them every 4th of July.
Sorry for being a downer.
For those of you who do ride on the special days, good luck and be safe.Larry

I do give extra thoughts to riding on holidays, in that am thinking will be extra traffic, more tourist, more folks at partys with drinking.
And sometimes I am intending on going for a ride, am gathering up gear, or maybe walking up to bike, and might hear something in my head like "No, Dave, Not now.". So maybe I dont go, or maybe I wait another half hour or something. I cant really discuss/explain the validity of that, but I typically follow it.

My son and I went out to the Black Hills in South Dakota for our first annual Father's Day Ride. He learned last summer and had never ridden on curves before. If you know anything about eastern South Dakota, you know that it is FLAT. I was riding/coaching from my 2012 Ninja 1000. He was riding my 1980 GS750L. It was a basket case that was given to me. It is the exact same year and model that I rode while I was in college...a long time ago. It still needs paint.
We have helmet communicators and rode almost 300 miles in 2 days. He and I had a blast and will repeat the ride at some point. He is completely hooked now!
Now, if I could just figure out IMGUR or Flickr, I might post some pictures!1980 GS750L - just like the one I rode in college (25 years ago!)

Been commuting on the Monkey this week, think I'm going to just use it everyday moving forward... Even with the 186cc BBK (18WHP) kit I yielded a 109MPG!
Love the back/class 4 road riding.
$3.15 for 100 miles of riding. Have to run premium in this High compression hot cam engine...Last edited by Jedz123; 06-22-2021, 10:29 AM.Jedz Moto

We can see the pictures but only the thumbnail. We have to click on them to have them open larger in another window. And the images in the resulting window are very small and low res. Looks like you're posting them direct from your phone, which is OK, but this site doesn't support and cannot store large images. That's why we use pic hosting sites like Imgur, so we can post larger photos that can be viewed large in the post, and don't have to be click on to enlarge.
I clicked on this image on my Imgur account. Selected the size Huge Thumbnail, copied the BBCode and pasted (CTRL-V on the keyboard) directly into my typed reply here. No fussing with the thread reply tool-bar icons involved, at all.
