So, who rode today?

[Fourstring]

Bomberman speaks the truth! Riding is still fun, even when you talk yourself out of it but go anyway.

Will need to "air dry"   after washin' all the bugs & black gunk accum from spectacular weekend of riding ...........

[dorklord]

I've been riding to work every day, and I went for a nice ride with my Dad on Saturday (We didn't go real far, but we were out on little backroads enjoying the scenery).

I'm trying to figure out know how I can work motorcycling in with the early doe season this coming weekend...(Perhaps I can find a way to send my hunting clothes and rifle with someone to my parents', then ride out to their place on my bike).

This is multiple years in a row now that I've had this same 'problem'. At this rate, I might still be riding my bike when the regular gun season rolls around!

You need to buy a Ural.

Put on a quick 250 miles on The GSXR-1000...actually very quick ... Waited all mornin for the sun to come out so the temps would get out of the 40's ..Then the Sun was out an I was gone and got back in time to enjoy a Black Husky Brewing Pale Ale in the sunshine before the wife an kids got home from school....Ahhhhhhh......

Just got back from Oddball's. mounted a new front tire.

Took a little longer to get home. If you know what i mean.  

[stromgal]

I spent the day painting, then tried to go for a ride on Torquemada. First it wouldn't start, then when I finally got it running, it puked oil. By the time I got it cleaned up, the sun was setting.

Will try again tomorrow!

October 9th: rode along with some fella's for a few hours on the FJR
October 10th: went dirt bike riding. Might have video to share later.
hope to do my last trackday of the year on the 24th of October. Wish I could go back to Barber in November.

Rode in to work yesterday, will probably ride a little tomorrow.

Brisk morning ride to work -- I'm alert!

Brisk morning ride to work -- I'm alert!

At 36 deg. i wouldn't expect anything less.

46 here when I left, rode along the lake for a while (Working at a closer station, so I have extra time in the morning). The new coat is quite warm.

You need to buy a Ural.

You know, I keep hearing that. I also keep threatening to get a Spyder for winter commuting.

Also, it was chilly this morning. I think it is time to move up from a long sleeve t-shirt to an actual sweatshirt.

Also, I need some gauntlets. I just can't find satisfactory gauntlets. (They are all too thick! What I want is just like my ordinary leather gloves, but extending back to cover my cuffs. Then I'll wear my glove liners inside the gauntlets. I'd take insulated gauntlets if the insulation ended after the wrist, like the ones my Dad has, but I've never seen a pair like his for sale...)

[Fourstring]

I've found that a cool morning ride is the quickest way to find which spot I missed shaving.

[bomber]

there is a fix for that.

[dorklord]

there is a fix for that.

For what?

[xsPain]

You know, I keep hearing that. I also keep threatening to get a Spyder for winter commuting.

I have heard they aren't that great for poor road conditions (like snow or ice), as there isn't much weight over the rear wheel. I don't know about the new touring version, though.

Also, I need some gauntlets. I just can't find satisfactory gauntlets. (They are all too thick! What I want is just like my ordinary leather gloves, but extending back to cover my cuffs.

Perhaps hippo hands? The classic vintage ones (from vetter) are excellent, but won't fit on most sport-bike handle bars. There is a company making new ones, but I don't have any experiance. There are also ATV bar buffs, which I use on the Ural since the vetter's are too huge. They aren't nearly as warm, but decent.

This morning's ride in on the Uly was no problem.  I did have to wear my fleece under the Roadcrafter but no problem.  I also didn't turn the grip warmers on either.  

hhmm.. I must be getting used to the cold again.  

For gloves I have the Lee Parks deerskin gauntlets.  Been thinking about their thermal ones because they are not insulated on the palm side which is the grip warmer side.

Just a thought.....

[sleazy rider]

Got the bike washed on the way home.  The wind got all the bugs that the rain missed.  Tomorrow, it's break out the Gerbings for the morning ride in.  Forecast low is 39*.

Had a taste for cheese curds so i crossed the cheddar curten and rode here.



Came home with a few items.


And the best of both worlds.  Yes i was thinking of Breadman when i saw this.
