Riding Game

It's been the same thing here. Just nasty. A month ago, we couldn't ride much because of rain. Now we have excessive heat! I don't want to punish my bike with this kind of heat. Been a rough season so far. Hoping for a nice LONG fall...

I'm outta the game until this weather breaks. Yesterday I changed my oil & adjusted my chain with the garage door open (about a half hour), and my shirt was soaked through. Today, according to the weather channel it's 99 and feels like 108.

got a couple more for ya from my Wv trip











 
Dang, no reason this tag hasn't been met if anyone is trying, the only substitution aloud is for our neighbors North of the US boarders or other countries abroad, an outdoor hockey rink or soccer field. Sorry US of A, still a local ballfield.
 
We been on vacation and just got home lastnight. Its beautiful out and have a ball field right across town but man am I lazy today. Finishing up laundry and may go out later and get it. Otherwise if not tagged by tomorrow I will go get it in the morning.

Really surprised no one has gotten this one already?
 
We'll be heading out for the Sunday morning ride. I can try to get it, but we've been in a rainy pattern lately. There is a historical field in Sanford from the Negro League of old and Tinker Field behind the Citrus Bowl.
 
The last week and a half of commuting has been punishing to my GS, I've got an oil leak from somewhere under the front sprocket cover, my tack cable snapped, my low beam quit, slow leak in front tire from the valve stem, bottom of speedo cable came loose and dumped the wire out somewhere on the highway, the battery has been slowly holding less and less of a charge, one fork seal popped, rear running light quit, best i can get is 29 mpg ($$$) and I haven't been able to replace my coils yet so after riding for 30 minutes there is a slight but noticeable loss of power.

Long story short, I'm out of the game for a few weeks.

Tank, I think you seriously need to upgrade to a 1000 or a 1100G. Your killing that pour little ole 750T.
 
I'm sure I do, but the core of the bike is still very solid.

Mostly everything wrong with it is 32 year old parts that lasted longer than they were ever intended to.

The battery was dead when I bought the bike and it's never been 'healthy' but the T starts so easily that it worked good enough.
With the cold damp mornings it takes a few extra cranks to fire it up and that battery struggles with the extra cranking.

The fork seal is my own fault for buying cheap ebay parts instead of OEM.

A couple seals, a couple cables, a battery, new light bulbs and coils and I'll be rocking again.
Most of it I planned on doing before laying down a lot of miles but the car broke down and with the new job I didn't really have a choice.

But despite all that she's never let me down or left me stranded, so I just don't have the heart to give up on her.

Just messing with you Tank.;)

BTW, looking back I se Rich said no MLB. I didn't see the no without my readers and I thought it meant Minor League.:eek: Won't be so hard to get after all, just not sure if I'll get back to post in time. I'll post anyways if I get something.

Community ballparks, kids ballfield, softball fields, etc, no Major League or Minor league, no college, geeez, gotta spell it out:rolleyes::hand::p
 
I'm at work until midnight tonight, but i'll grab it tomorrow if nobody else has. Got some mounting brackets to get.
 
Here is our local softball fields. There are 3 of them here each with their own announcers booth, dug outs, etc... They keep it up nicely all the time. Used to have alot of homerun contests here with my buddies but dont remember many homeruns! lol We sucked.... Anyone the county shop where the sheriffs fuel up is across the road behind with a sheriff at the pump so no home plate for me :(.



And a shot of the batting cages...
 
For the new tag is old fashioned cheese house. This one has been here since 1918 and they have the best cheese curds around! All cheese is made in house by hand from the original owners daughter (who is like mid 80s now) and her son (guessing in his 50s or 60s).

Its a tradition for us to stop here on our way to hunting camp each year and stock up on cheese and snacks.




Bonus if your tag also has an 8 foot mouse!!
