      Mr Redman, the jagged line on the windshield is supposed to be the tail of the dragon. I'm not sure if I got it right side up. Basically my punk kid rode the dragon and all i got was this squiggly sticker.

        Finally had my first ride with my new riding buddy. For the last 18 years I hoped that at least one of my sons would take an interest. Had a beautiful ride on the forest roads. The first of many, I’m sure. Noah did great.

          I went for a short ~50 mile ride this morning before the heat rolled in. I didn't get any good scenery pictures, but right as I pulled into the grocery store parking lot I snapped a picture of my odometer. 33,333.3 miles to be exact! I've been waiting for this number for a while. Also, I'm getting close to hitting my 10k mile mark with this bike. In 1,215 miles I'll have put 10k miles on my GS850L in 6yrs of ownership. That doesn't hold a candle to what many of you ride, but to me it's quite a bit. Someday I hope to start taking real road trips on my bike, traveling the country. But for now I just commute and cruise the back roads near home. Small kids and a full time job make it tough to go on a multi-day multi-state trip, but it'll happen eventually!

                Nice to see the GK out!

                I rode the "Thumb Loop" today with my neighbor. I live near Flint so it's easy to head NE to the tip of the thumb then down the east coastline and back across to the west. Beautiful day for a ride, weather couldn't have been better! Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures. My neighbor had an obligation this afternoon so we had to keep moving. Several good views of lake Huron shoreline, and I saw a bald eagle! Don't see those very often, so that was really cool. 289 miles round trip and my rear is sore. Still working on getting that iron butt certificate haha.

                      Went out on the GS again this week, for about 2.5-3 hours. Made a stop at Norris Dam to get a photo of the plaque by the core sample up there. Didn't help much.



                      Nothin'


                      Nice view up top. Stopped in the shade for a bit.

                        Trailered my XS1100E out to the NY Finger Lakes last week to visit my parents with my family, did a few nice 100ish mile rides. Still exorcising a few low-rpm demons from the carbs but the bike did great on the whole.

                          And if you ever find yourself in the area make sure to get some lunch at the Wilcox general store out in Ledyard NY off of route 34B!Xs1100wilcox.jpg

                            Mr Bob baatfam, nice pics. I suspect the “core sample” (bigger than I have ever seen before- other than your pics) is of the rock in area near where dam was built. (As opposed to the concrete construction).

                            Mr gtem, nice pics. Hey, lunch at a general store sounds like a good idea.
                            and having a bike available on a week visit to finger lakes area is good idea too.

                              Friday morning, had one of my morning ride/walk/ride.
                              About lunch time I ended up at local coffee/sandwich shop. Parked outside and went in. GOt my sandwich and sat down, then they opened the big side door . . . . .


                              Speaking of the local coffee/sandwhich shop... it opened a couple years ago on this end of town, away from all the more tourist places downtown, so I have been going there often.
                              Is operated by A newly retired guy and his son. I have fun chatting with him about retiring and then doing something like this.

                              ANyway, he has been saying that we should go for a ride together, so a couple weekends ago we did.
                              Was out for about 4 hours, including lunch stop. About 125 miles.
                              THis road is one that somewhat follows Muskegon River.

                              Stopping for a roadside pic was something new to him har har har

                                Other recent endeavor: trying to catch when is a ship comming in or going out the channel/piers.
                                GOt downtown early enough the other day to get parking spot next to the channell, so could get bike in a shot. Had low sun right at me, so not so good a pic, but only recent pic of ship and bike.

                                THis is a 128ft tug boat in the "notch" of a barge. Are seeing only a small portion of the barge. (not all barges are flat, some are more like a ship, in fact many were previously ships).

                                THEn I went down to the piers to catch it again.
                                No, could not get bike out on the piers.... well, suppose I could have, but didnt.

                                THis barge is about 500ft. Some of the others are 600 or 700ft. Some of the ships here are 700- 800.
                                (the 900-1000 footers cant make the turns in the channell here.)

                                In the distance can see lights of an other ship comming in. So I hung around for that too.
