rut roh, unintended acceleration. sorry officer I thought it was the brake but it just kept going faster.

 

 

Careful!  You'll get pulled over for having a brake light out.

Ocracoke only open if you work or live there now. My part of the banks still open , but it wouldn't bother me if they shut it down.

Only one way in and one way out.

Is this the tire you put all the plugs in at the UN in Lake George?  It looks like a ferret pooped in there.

Looks a lot like mine....jb         IMG_5416.jpg.74f860e9adbab1c8a2ee304f0c61f86f.jpg

Ta-da! The most procrastinated set of tires in BMW history! :facepalm: The new Dunlop Trailmax 50/50 tire. They seem nice, time will tell. :dontknow:

Looks more like a 70/30 tire.  Will be looking for your report.

I loved it, loved the ADV model that I rode a while back even more. It will be an ADV if and when it happens. :thumbsup: 
Now for a funny thing that I didn’t expect. Getting back on my old bike to head home I was thinking, this thing is going to feel like a pig. It didn’t, fit and felt like a well worn glove! :cool:
 

$460.00 for the tires mounted & balanced with new valve stems. I just don’t wear out enough of them to make it worth the effort. :dontknow: And, a rip on new equipment while I wait! :yes:

$460, ouch, granted, I ouched some new Anakee Adventures at $381(likely go different brand after this set), but I'm getting a $50 gift card back, so, $331, and well, my labor is free.  Tools (spoons, balancer, rim guards(gave up on that) and weights) were about $180.  'bout three tire changes and kit paid for.

 

Now, with being down to two bikes and averaging just under 20k a year on miles, thats two+ tire changes a year......ifn I'm lucky. 

 

 

 

I have been thinking about going all modern and getting me a image.png.c1e0e117ac78c50ec51094bc7bc73cd4.png which would be about a seven year return (unless I get/charge people to do theirs, which would shorten the return), .......it's still in the thinking/wishing phase.

I’m not setup with the tools and believe it or not, the price you mentioned gave me comfort In that Max wasn’t bending me over a barrel on the new shoes. :thumbsup:

Here's what I use right now

image.png.338f85dec40e8359490243badc1c21b2.png

 

Takes roughly 30 minutes if I have the tire warmed up (sun, heater, fireplace), for me, cold tires means tool throwing.

@Rougarou, what kind of setup is that?

"The Old Pueblo"   Tucson from the road up Mt. Lemon  ... at the base temp around 80

What's this white stuff ???   (at about 7000 ft altitude)  didn't have an accurate temp but probably in the low 50's

Thanks Chris for taking us along.  It may be a long time before some of us get out this way.  My RT is in Albuquerque, and I was planning to be in your area now, but that didn't work out.

We got out for another picnic/drive today, surprised to find the little roadside park we've stopped before open, nearly all  the other city, county, and state parks have been closed. Stayed inland today revisiting some of rural old Florida, nice day for a cruise.

I still have one of these in my attic. I have had it since using it as a kid in the early 1950's.  Used it last in the mid 80's with my daughter. Wish I had a grandchild to give it to.

The Clean Living Hoosiers™ Annual Once In A Lifetime 2020 Edition was on the books for this week. 

 

Only GSJoe is taking part - as he is geographically close.

 

He's made it to Torry and The Chuckwagon.

Went for a hike today and found that although the neighborhood park is closed, I found it packed with Kid’s.........

 

Normally the Homeowners associations disks the open space perimeter for fire defensive space.  
November 9th 2018 the Wosley fire roared through at 01:00. 
This defensive space as well as favorable winds protected all 230+ houses in the track.  
Im not sure the goats will be enough due to the March Miracle rains. 
We'll see.

The sword doesn't look like it'll go in the scabbard.  Also, the scabbard looks "Marine NCO",......is it?
