    Some people are strange.

    Took carbs off in late December, and cleaned/dipped them. GOt them back on a couple weeks ago and had multiple problems that have been working on (with assitance from some fine folk here on GSR). Finally got them balanced and seemily running well just the other day. (See thread in Carb/Fuel about that endever.)
    But has been unseasonalble cold, so havent gone out for a test ride.

    Well, this morning was upper 30s, so time for test ride. Headed out and ran some local roads then ran up and down a state highway.
    And I saw that all is good. BUt that is not the point of this story.

    After that I went out for breakfast.

    After breakfast I Rode down by the river and the boardwalk.


    And then rode down by the pier and the beach.

    Stopped to look at the lake. Real calm today.






    Look at the small fishing boats out there.
    Man, those guys must have got up early, and man, it must have been cold when they put in.
    Gee, its about 9:00 am, maybe not even 40 degrees yet, and those guys are out there.
    Man, wonder how much time and effort they must have put in to be able to go out on one of these first nice days of spring.
    Seems like they would have had better things to do, like yard work on the lawn or things around the house. But, they are spending the first nice day of spring out on a boat trying to catch some stupid fish.
    And they are all in one area, must be they so seroius about this that they know where certain fish are at certain times. Man, what fanatics.

    Well, I didnt stay very long. Bike is running better now, But Now I can attend to some annoying rattle/buzz in the fairing. I think it is the right mirror - again.

    I guess everyone has their passion. You will never understand the smelly fish, and they will never understand our obsession with two wheels.

    Aren't you going back home to spend hours working on the bike?

      Yea, those fisherman are nuts. They should be riding their motorcycle in the cold instead. To each their own I suppose.

          Well at least they are not chest deep in waders in a swift moving river.
          Now theres crazy for you standing in a death trap with snow on the rive banks.

          Fishing is a sport that brings out an incredible passion in people.
          Thye probaly would view driving an MC in that sort of weather as odd.

              There is Serious competitive Bass fishing going on here on Kentucky Lake right now. I just found out recently that Colleges have Bass fishing teams! I knew there were clubs but this is the NCAA National Championship going on here and there are some big money rigs running around here.

              2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                Now that would be cool.

                  I agree and vote for picture #3. It looks like it was taken for a magazine cover.

                    Nice day for kayaking too.

                    Hey Dave,
                    I don't fish but I've been out there kayaking on lake Michigan in March.
                    The fishermen are after Steelhead salmon that concentrate in the river channel. The guys just put on their brown Carhartt coveralls and zone out for half a day of fishing. Good eatin' when they get home.

                      Those pics are pretty good. If I didn't see the shadows from the bike, I would think you superimposed them on to backdrop scenery.
