Nice bike...What river is that?

[Burro (He/Haw)]

St. Croix river. Looks awesome when the leaves all change. Both pics are the St. Croix, about 70 miles apart.

[mrvette]

Lucky bastard, we been WET as hell EVERY freeking day for the last 6 months, and damn lucky IF the high for the day was less than 90f.....

that damn Gulf storm tropical run off has been a bitch, this year....

BUT, methinks I can get out tmrw and work on the vette a bit.....without going krazy with heat/HUMIDITY.....

I'd rather ride in the 50° than the 90° and humid shit. That aint NO fun.

[VatorMan]

Yea,rainy and miserable here all day. Stayed inside and cooked up some chicken vegetable soup.

Didn't see that one....Well, I did, but don't remember that part.

Perfect riding weather!! Glad you got to get out today! I meant to fire up the mx bike, but failed to remember it was on empty.

[sanchez]

50 degrees isn't ever going to be perfect. holy crap, that requires a parka, scarf, gloves, and warming stations.

Not with one of these. My friend has one and it's amazing! it's got a heater and bar warmers, GPS, full load. Flat six purrs like a kitten and goes like hell. He's toured all of eastern Canada and USA with it. Cool machine.:D

This is MN. Anyone claiming they ride all the time except ice and snow is full of dung. We can go weeks here below zero. :rofl:

My commute is 3 miles, so it's easy. If I had to go any further, say even 6 or 7 miles, I would freeze. Usually I stash the bike from the first snowfall in December to the thaw in March but last year was mild. I think the longest I went without riding was 10 or 12 days. I actually just put my fairing/windshield back on for the winter.

No offense, but minnesota creeps me the **** out. People are too nice and churchy. Probably beautiful and great by I couldn't handle it.

I grew up in Michigan and spent most of my early adulthood in Chicago but turned weather sissy right after moving south. I really miss the seasons, and sanity but fear I'm too much of a weather puss to move back north.

Three mile commute? I'd murder a baby in front of its parents for a 3 mile commute. I've got 22 miles on 95 (the days of thunder express).

No more riding in the snow or ice( almost 19 mile commute ) and i'll ride until it gets to the low 20s.

Never lived without them, but I would like to live somewhere warm for a year to see what its like. I hate snow, and all the things I like to do have to get put on hold from December to March.

Lol, the best part of Miami, is that it's a short drive to America.

Please tell your countrymen and women that speedos and bikinis are to be used sparingly. Also, skin cancer is no joke. We are coming up on bbq'd nekkid canuckistani season.

Thanks. It's a '96. A little older, but the Evo is a solid motor.

It's disturbing. :omg:

[island14]

My thought at the time was the few upgrades would not be worth the extra expense..

But all in the eye of the beholder.

Beautiful bike!

I had a 72 that my buddy kept borrowing until it stayed most of the time at his house.. finally told him just keep it if it means so much to you, pay me when you can.

He said thanks and paid me a week later. :lol:

So took that and added some too it and bought an 83. (about 93) It was a beautiful bike, but couldn't keep my ole lady of of it so bought her an 883.

She rode it like crazy! and as much as I loved her, I wanted to just give her a few ludes and money for a few cases of beer to get rid of her. :D

125, Just right for around here, gets through the trails just fine, and do not have to worry about too many flat tires.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

The handlebars look a bit too much,
They're pretty tall. Thing is, I'm about 6'-3" so reach isn't a problem.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

125,
I had a YZ 125. Wrapped it and me around the bumper of a Buick.

[Fastguy]

That looks like a fun bike. To answer Snide's question, I ride a 1980 Yamaha Maxim 650, aka UJM, "Universal Japanese Motorcycle". Been looking at picking up something more comfortable for the wife, but haven't found anyhting I am in love with yet. For the four or five times she goes out with me a year, makes no sense to buy anything new and I don't want a big bike as a DD. I will most likely keep the Maxim and get a 10 year old cruiser or touring bike. Looked at Harleys, BMWs, Triumphs, Yamahas and Hondas so far.
This was taken at the end of last winter at the site of an old mill on the Blackstone River

10 year old cruiser or touring bike. Looked at Harleys
My blue Geezer Glide had 20,000 miles in it when I got it. Original owner, all service records. He was asking $8000.00, I got it for $7500.00. It was 15 years old, but meticulously maintained so I made him an offer.

VatorMan, don't you like the Street Glide?

A 100 or a 125 around here is about the normal, now and then you see something like a 200/250, but not very often.

For me there would be no use for anything larger, must of my driving is trails and dirt roads. and even when on the paved roads there is too much going on to go very fast (goats, cows, dogs, kids, ect)

I just filled up today for 500p and it should last me about a month or so.
(about $12)
