anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

That's very cool J. I wonder how something like that would work on a gz250. We still have one of those. Can't bring myself to sell it.

The Sidecar is a totally different ride. It's like riding a Honda ATC but a butt load sketchier, right hand turns are most freaky. There is a reason I put a full sized tractor battery in the chair... Sure it cranks like nothing on freezing day but I can also now turn right.

I would recommend it though, the small bike makes a great entry to the hack "experience", Joe should be able to help you on building something custom. I saw a few chairs in FB, The Utility car is awesome because you can pretty much build it for whatever...

Eli, if we do moosehead next year, I'll be taking this there and back.

21'F on my ride in, Snow and ice... Having 3 wheels for this stuff is awesome! Just a new type of riding, I feel like a noob all over again!


Less Fuel than a sled, last tanks was still 70MPG. I think I might get better as I found a new route that keeps my speed in the 40's

Cheers!

say, did I miss something? Is that a battery in front of the side rig??

I could joke and ask if that is to power all your heated gear so can ride unfaired bike in low 20s……

>> later note.
now I see comment about tractor battery for cranking and for weight.

42 degree day ride

Live up in the Pacific Northwest and its 42 degrees and sunny. Enjoyed the ride and the bike...3rd GS1000 I have had.

Replaced the front fender on the GS1000 today and since it was warm(er) and sunny, I felt compelled to go for a short 15 mile ride.


Had to make sure the new fender made it faster! (It seems to work!)

Welcome to the site.
How about an introduction in the GSOwners forum with a bit of info on you and your bike.

That thing needs a windjammer. Then you could ride it more often😁.

I did a short, 30 mile ride out to lunch and back. Nothing to photograph, since it was mostly highway, but aside from wind, the weather was about perfect (just under 80 degrees, with a few clouds but mostly clear). Had a black and blue wrap and a couple of tacos.

I need to retire, then I could spend more time on it! Like some people that show up to rally's a couple of days early, and stay a couple days after! Scheesh, retired people!

Got the DR650 out today...very nice day here...the dr now has 650kms on it and inching closer to it's first break-in service. And then I'll put the Yoshi exhaust in jet kit in...but first I had to siphon gas out of my 83 750 lol...lots of gas stations closed still with no gas.


A cool bike park just opened out in Langford...it goes way in behind with lots of dirt tracks too...great to see little kids on it with their push bikes.

Was 68 degrees today so I went on a short 75ish mile round trip to Frankfort and back. Stopped by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Really unique memorial that is a huge sundial. The names of each veteran that lost their life is etched in the granite floor, and on the day they died, the point of the sundials shadow is on their name.
The designer wanted each lost veteran to have their own Veterans Day!

Here is the view in the other direction, looking at the state capital building:

Ron, that sundial sounds really cool.
