Anybody go for ride today? Got Pictures?

[Lone_RT_rider]

I'm late in posting, but I did head north to Lake Michigan this past weekend (Sunday) and stretched the legs on the new RT a bit. I needed to get some seat time on the new Russell and test the QW windshield. It was a gorgeous day and really did wonders to put a smile on my face. I needed it.

There's just something calming about being around water.

Silver Lupin is in bloom.

It’s quite tall & evergreen.

Escaped Sunday morning to pick up some Coddiwumple points.

 

Then came home to take my R90s out for it's first run from a long winter's nap.

I took the street sled up to Hollis NH, a little cool but a nice ride.

Well this might be a stretch but here goes. 
Heres a video on the (ex Harley) Live Wire that was shot on some of the nicest roads in the Eastern section of the Santa Monica mountains. 
Im posting this to represent my riding experience on my Zero DSR on some of the roads I occasionally ride on my commute to/from work so that (sorta) makes this a “Ride Report”.

So they were on Piuma Scheuren and Saddle Peak, when I had to split..  What other roads did the cover?

They said they went down Tuna yet the ride footage stops just as they approached the intersection so my guess is they had some sort of technical issue(s) that caused them not to present that road.  
Real shame cause that’s the best that the Santa Monica’s have to offer.

From yesterday - Dude has his Dingleberry hat on, ready to ride!

Riding rite now!! We're doing a Bernie Stop for coffee.  Discovered its snowing!!  Cowboy Bob's is doing good. No cowboys anywhere. Huge apple fritter and a 12 oz coffee for $5.25.  Can't beat it. 

[LBump]

Hard to imagine a forest was here, it's desolate. That's a rock in front of the bike. It was a tree at one time.

LBump,

 

That's what we call an Indian Love Stone.

Stopped in Gainesville for a bagel and coffee, enjoying maybe the last cool morning ride of the season. Thinking of my friends, current and past.

[wbw6cos]

Hey Bernie, have you been changing out an RT headlight bulb lately?        

 

That reminds me about changing mine today.  Wish me luck.

55degF this afternoon ! Hey ! Hey !

Got out for a 2 hour ride.

Rode south along lakeshore, barley above 50 there.

Went to Holland Sate park/beach/pier. Lots of folks out for a walk.

Enjoyable ride.

Saw a couple dozen bikes, including a few other BMWs.

[TEWKS]

Rode the cool RT this afternoon. Speaking of cool, it wasn’t all that bad, in the fifties also. The funny, had my heated liner on, seat and grips cranking. I’m on RT 3 northbound and I see this Street Bob, or Bill  Harley coming the other way. Dude’s wearing a tank top!  He’s either tough, dumb or I’m just a wimp! 

[LBump]

Arizona has much to offer for a mc rider... 

[ESokoloff]

I owe, I owe, it’s off to work I go.....

 

Occasionally Im asked to report to work mid morning which allows me to enjoy the sights that my commute offers.

Yesterday was one of those times so I decided to snap a few images with flowers as the theme.

Having lived in Glendale for 3yrs, precipitation often follows the dust storms. Yech. Are you doing 191?

[LBump]

Hi Long John,

Heck... we did every great road in AZ. but, I'm sure there're others. Esp. GS roads some  I wasn't able to ride.

Yes, on 191 North to South. Then over to Silver City, NM. Then up 180... and it continues... 

Great state to ride! You should check it out!

Stupid 10hp chipper shredder needs juice.  
 

A couple years ago I changed out the rest of my ICE garden implements (lawnmower, string/hedge trimmer, chainsaw, & blower) to Makita 18v x 2 (36v) 

 

 

Hoping to change out the old (2002) Chevy Avalanche with a CyberTruck in a few years. 
 

Anyone want to buy a time tested slightly used (ok, 20% over a half century) Kidney?

Rode around aimlessly and ended up at Cowhaus Coffee in Monticello, FL this morning.

After a good cup of coffee and a pastry, I started wandering through the Florida wilderness back home.

I stopped at one place in the forrest and immediately was swarmed by hungry mosquitoes. Time to move on.

Then I meet up with David D. and we tried a new place for lunch.

The best part of this place was the exterior decorations. A little too plain for my taste.

By the time I got to the house it turned into a 410 mile day. A good riding day.

Bernie,   I think I see a pattern---  Ride----Good Eats----Ride---  Life must be tough

Been riding my new to me Kawasaki Versys 650 lately due to just have a short commute to work and playing on the dirt roads after work. I took it for about a 40 mile ride this morning. Came back the RT looked jealous and wanted attention. I installed a new front shock and had to take it for a spin. I fell in love all over again. Came back home put new skins under it balanced them, will take it out for a little skip tomorrow. No pictures since I really didn't stop anywhere.

[LBump]

Well, yesterday...

Heading to Oakhurst

When was the last time you checked into a motel where the owner & her dog checked you in & gave you a room KEY..an actual key, on a plastic fob, with your room number from a label-maker?
