with my nephew on the dream and me on the BlackBear we had mini adventures today out on the JLGW

It wasn’t on my ST, but Icefields Parkway during a snow storm was fun on my Valkyrie.

Just another day (night), will get home 1-ish this time.
Better than 2am-ish.
Aaaaaand... it's starting to rain.
Pfffttt.

Had lunch. Wait I want ice cream. Good excuse to ride.

 

[Sadlsor]

That white bike looks better than the dark one.
Good choice with the ice cream, though.

She is enjoying it. That’s what counts.

Not today but two days ago, finished off work and decided to go pay a surprise visit to my mom. Put in 260 miles, almost all on I-70. Found a nice sweet spot at about 80 MPH where the gas didn't get sipped away too quickly and the engine seemed to be having a good time.

I know there's some back and forth on this, and it shouldn't matter much because it's direct injected, but is there any consensus on using 87 rather than 93?

IF damaging the engine is your concern, if I recall correctly Raymond always runs regular and he has over 400,000 miles on his ST1300.

Some people have reported increased fuel consumption running regular fuel, some have not.
My opinion is that the biggest potential difference is fuel consumption IF your motorcycle is in proper running order with no defects. If your motorcycle is operating properly the knock sensors will detect any pre-ignition if the lower octane regular fuel causes this. Once it is detected the ECM will manage it, so there is no concern for engine damage. The result of that scenario is increased fuel consumption. If there is not any increased pre-ignition over what is present while running super, there won't be much influence on fuel consumption. Try a few tanks of regular, monitor the fuel consumption and compare. If fuel consumption drops go back to super. If it doesn't, ride on.

A beautiful 125 mile ride in the Ozarks. Temps in the 60s most of the way. Stopped on Highway 16 for a break. Rode north of Hector on 27 and back to Pelsor. Passed two cars.

Guanalla Pass

 

[drbuzzard]

put 19km on riding to the club house, stopped for a few pic's on my way home

 

[ST_SVK]

200kms with my buddies.

 

[Willsmotorcycle]

Just home, 12.4 miles on a brand new escooter. Left my delivery van and used my friends scooter to come home. I took all back roads, very quiet, good brakes. At 25mph it's fun, at 33, mildly terrifying.

Don't forget your purse...

Don't forget your purse...

That's called a man-bag, Joe. Didn't you know... they're making a come-back!

"a come-back"? I must've missed the first go.

That was way back, when men had belts but no pockets.
Purses were a big deal, but usually only carried money. (Reference Robin Hood, and even before him.)
And then women hijacked purses, and made them their own.
