Where did you ride today?

[970mike]

Headed out today for a Pre Christmas ride, I rode through Santa Barbara, Ventura, Kern, San Luis Obispo County's putting in 360 miles with temps from 55 to 70.

Here are some pictures from today's ride.

I rode to a ST 1300 mechanic's home workshop where he took a quick look at the bike & decided oil changing and other fluid maintenance were the least of my worries. Repairing crash damage and broken and loose parts (not just Tupperware but frame parts & structural components ) from a prior owners' accident was top the priority.
Emergency surgery was called for.

Good for you!

I have bought three, that I restored to riding condition. I've got a couple in my back shed right now. But since I have two good running ST1300s already, I'm not sure if I'll get to them anytime soon.

I am just about to head out to take my trusty Honda snowblower for a whirl. It is currently 18°F with a windchill of 9°F and there is an abundance of white anti-motorcycle powder everywhere that needs to be moved. I won't take any pictures for you.

Love this phrase.

white anti-motorcycle powder

I'm going to try and use it, with proper referencing, of course!

Trust me when I state that there are many other more colourful expletives that are heard in place of powder, especially as the winter progresses.
None of them would survive the delete function here however, so you will just have to use your imagination.

Have you ever had such a cold ride that your nipples freeze solid and start to chaff against your clothes?
-10 this morning but beautiful sunshine so it was kick the tires and light the fires. Took a while to get them lit but we got there in the end and went for a ride around the lake coming back just before sundown.

My wife is from Ruhpolding, near Traunstein, She can make me Glühwein, but it is not the same as drinking it and being at a real Bavarian Kris Kindle Markt.

I get to Traunstein snd Ruhpolding quite often as the courts in those towns are in my area.

Weather forecast was for rain all day today. It was dry this morning so I decided to give t a try. Rode about 80 miles chasing blue holes in the clouds. Turned out to be a nice morning's ride. Pouring rain now.

Bike looks good, reminds me of my 81 Silverwing . How is the handle bars for vibration?

Taco Tuesday! but no taco's yet today. I did a little group of 2 riding this morning and then I split off and rode up Georgia ways. It was a great day for the last day of the year. 53 to 77 degrees. I even found a tiny cloud that just couldn't hold all of it's raindrops. 10 seconds of rain from a wisp of a cloud.???

I had to ride a bit today to hit the 52000 mile mark for the year, 510 miles today and it felt good to be out riding.

Happy New years to all.

I rode through my neighborhood and across the golf course on cart paths down to the river to watch the sun go down for the last time in 2024.

It seems like I’ve seen a lot of those parts on the shelf somewhere before

Don’t know how I’m still alive today after riding up frog mountain with no ABS, no traction control, and only clad in jeans and a T-shirt, and my then came Bronson knit cap.
Beautiful weather for January.

This is as close to all of the fires down South as I want to be, you can see the smoke over the Channel Islands. Very sad all of the destruction and loss of life's.

I road my local ride to Santa Barbara, 100 miles with temps from 72 when I left my house to a high of 77 near Cachuma Lake.

Took a ride around the Ocala Nat'l Forest and St John River.

Brought lil boat to see big boat.

I'm going to be selling it in the coming months so trying to take plenty of pictures of it looking nice.

Due to the warm weather in Southern Utah, I decided (and since the wife is gone for the rest of the week) I needed to get out and do a ride. I at first had a 250 miles ride planned, but decided to cut it short, so I only did 217 miles. But what a GREAT 217 miles, well some were! LOL

The big deal of it all was that I was able to ride up the ZION Canyon Road. That road is not open during the Spring to Fall months, except by one of their shuttles. But right now it is open to motor vehicles! What a great ride that road is.





Every where you look, it is straight up!

Ride thru ZION Canyon Road.

Besides ZION, I also rode the ST George Southern Parkway (which was the second part of my ride. The first being, riding from Cedar City, for 55 miles).



When I left Cedar City, after returning a book for Chris at the book store, it was 36F. By the time I got down to St George/Zion, it had climbed to 57F. As I rode thru to the East Gate of ZION, the temps dropped to 44F. And then back up to 55F as I dropped back down in elevation leaving the park.

I left Cedar around 11:30AM and returned home, after gassing up, right at 5PM.

Great fun ride!

30 miles to get a haircut on this new-to-me 2021 Cabo 125. I sold my 1986 Honda Elite 80 to make room for it.

It's not very scenic and it was not very far but I did cast off my apathy. The snow had all melted and I just couldn't resist taking a picture after a short spin.
