Re: Log your rides
Hit 60 here today, but mostly in the 50's. I did about 70 miles on the Beemer. It seemed quite tropical! I got out onto some back roads that I haven't dared try since last Fall. We didn't get a lot of snow this year, so not too much sand on the roads. Usually this time of year you have to really watch out for sand accumulations in the curves. It was a great ride! I stopped by the hardware store and picked up some fiberglass screening to put over the air intake on the Beemer. They make the air intakes and airboxes totally irresistible to mice, who make nesting out of the air filter and make a horrible mess in the airbox. It's happened to me twice on different Beemers. Anyway, the BMW is now pretty well set up with hardbags, a topcase, plastic cylinder head guards, a windshield, and hookups for the battery tender and heated clothing. I don't intend to put anything more on it. I should post another picture soon.

Re: Log your rides
I had a great ride today, not necessarily for any reason other than it was sunny and 70 degrees for the first time in months around here! I started out this morning in full cold weather gear, temps in the mid 30's. I headed up towards Harrison Tennessee passing along Chickamauga Lake. Water levels are still at Winter elevations but because it's the largest surface area of any of the Lakes on the Tennessee River, the water only drops about 6-7 feet from Summer levels so it's still really pretty to look at most places. Spent most of the day helping my 75 year old mother with some yard work and then had a great ride home in just my boots, jeans, jacket liner and helmet, no heavy gear, and man was it nice. Sunshine beaming down,70+ degree temps, felt like Spring! Well, it's supposed to cool off and start raining for the next several days, but today was a great day to be out on the bike!

Re: Log your rides
It almost got up to 60 here today. I got out, mostly for a couple of errands. Started the day with an early morning ride to pick up a couple of "Tags" for the new game we're playing. Didn't have to go far for that. A little later I picked up some chain wax for the GZ at Motorcycles of Manchester. Then I stopped by the supermarket. Took the long way out and back. Then I took the GZ out of mothballs, and took it for a short spin. It seems to be running well. So, several shorter rides on a bright, unseasonably warm day.

Re: Log your rides
Took a ride on the Shadow today. Really windy, but warm out compared to the past few weeks. It hit 70 today. Not a bad ride, but met with two highway patrol checkpoints on the backroads. Fortunately, my papers were all in order. Video coming up soon. New mounting point, right by the headlight. It makes for some nice viewing, but a little boring.
Scrrrrraaaaapppeeee.....
Update: Video is up now.

Re: Log your rides
Well, I thought I was gonna get a "tag" in the tag-o-rama, but the building I thought was a spaceship/multisport facility turned out to be a library. Oh well.
Ennyhoo, took the Geezer out for an exercise ride, my regular 52 miler to my Starbucks rendez vous: Santiago Canyon past Cook's Corner and down into the expensive seats in OC. Didn't really get a chance to really open 'er up, but I hit 70 on a slight decline on the way back. Freshened the tank and put at least a gallon through the carb.

Re: Log your rides
Hi All,
It has rained every weekend since January, So I took leave and went for a ride today Mt Nebo, Brisbane 28 km of twisties up & down the mountain. It is usually packed on the weekend with bikes, but today I only saw 6 bikes & 2 cars for the whole ride. I smiled the whole way I took some pics to show you how great the road was. ( Not "Dupo quality" pics, but you get the idea )
Just looks close to a North American. You have to remember not everyone rides/drives on the right side of the road. And it does look like a pleasant way to ride away the afternoon.

Re: Log your rides
Took a nice little ride yesterday afternoon to pick up the tag in Tag-o-rama. It was an absolutely beautiful day, with the exception of the ugly browns and drab colors still hanging around. Temps were in the upper 60s and there was almost no wind. I was able to wear my mesh jacket which is always a pleasure. I took the Ninja out for a spin. I was going to ride the GZ since I changed the oil and de-winterized it, but I realized I forgot to tag it after I put it up for the winter...
That's on the agenda tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple good rides on it on video before too long.
