    Sunday was a beautiful day for a ride! I rode about 210 miles in lovely southeast Ohio. I pulled over to look at the map to see where I was at. I noticed I was parked in front of a small town library! This motorcycle is such a joy to ride. 🌞

      Storm, I'd just thought a couple of hrs. ago about asking if you'd had a chance to give that new Kawa. a good rundown. Beautiful bike...Been watching them for a couple of yrs. now, those not the cafe' ones. I'm kind'f jealous....(naw, really jealous).

        Yeah, I'm really loving this motorcycle. Even the Harley folks like it. The one fellow said he likes Kawasakis, says he has a Kawasaki engine in his garden tractor! I'm liking how light it seems and so easy to handle. Its really getting its own personality, and I think it's sexy as anything. 🙂

          Just thinking that thing should feel even lighter than & more nimble than my ZRX (my best lightest feeling bike). Your 900RC is appx. 50 lb. lighter @ 474 wet as opposed to my ZRX that is 487 dry. I kind'f get to dr00ling just thinking about them.

              Yep, should handle more like your 600 than my 1100. That's not all, your 600 & his 900 both make more H.P. than my 1100, so H.P to weight ratio....Shoot, I don't know if I'm more jealous or embarrassed.

                    45degF today, most snow gone so not much snow melt running across the road. Aired up the tires and got the RT out for its first ride of the year.
                    Rode out for a couple errands and then for about an hour ride. Stopped a couple places just to look around and .... (you can guess) take a photo or two.


                    Still some ice on shore and on pier.

                      Our first real 70-degree day so ran out of the house after logging out of work. Not a lot of miles but enough to put a smile on the face. I thought the Pic of the Week game theme for this week was a generic crash and not related to the bike itself so figured I'd grab this. Yes, I was but I like the way the rays are hitting the bike.

                        No pics but since it got up to 73 here today I couldn't pass up a couple of rides. First ride was 130 miles on the Triumph and the second ride was 1 hour on the old 12 speed.

                        Getting old sucks.
                        My fitness level is telling me to park the Triumph and start working out with the bicycle. I think it needs a jump start.

                          It's not the bicycle, but the bicycle's power plant needs the jump start. BTDT!!!

                            I was able to get out for a nice after work ride yesterday. I went to Zookies Sports Bar for their delicious Hot Wings. Then went to the Beaver County Airport for some plane watching. On my way home I stopped for some beautiful sunset pictures.

                            Side note: I had to crop the picture down for it to post... I think I have to adjust my camera phone settings.

                              Hit 60' today but went for a family walk in the park of the heat. Did get a morning ride in at 38'F

                              Hope everyone is doing well! Been a bit tired but feeling a whole shift in my life that has rocked me to the core.
