That bike look very good Terry.
Well worth a power enhancer kit if you are up for that. +15hp and a little less fuel consumption if I remember correctly.

Nope, as soon as I get the registration transferred into my name it’ll be getting sold Per, as lovely as it is, it’s taking up space in my storage unit that I need for some of my other bikes that I want to keep.

This could have been taken down the road from here.

Pretty countryside you have to enjoy riding in Terry!
I took a ride down to Vail this afternoon to see a friend, he lives about 2/3-3/4 mile off the highway on a dirt and gravel road. His other friends have Harleys mostly and won’t drive down (u & down & around) his dirt road to his house. It wasn’t bad… I have ridden much worse. Told him his friends are wimps and don’t want to get their bikes dirty.
I didn’t take any pictures of it or my fish taco I stopped in South Tucson…
Looks like I have some uneven wear on rear tire, so it is going to be changed out too…always something that needs money…

Thanks Greg, yeah the "desert" scenery reminded me of some of your pics, and interestingly the countryside was much lusher only a few miles back? I haven't ridden thru that area since 2014, so was a bit surprised at the contrast, hence the pic.

 My old 79 at the Honda warehouse in Davenport Iowa. Must have been foggy that day.

There was a nice one like yours going cheap here on FB a few weeks ago Don, I thought about it momentarily, but decided that I have enough big touring bikes with the Valkyrie and the Rocket III.

[Bankerdanny]

We did a 300+ mile trip up to and on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Nice ride down the twisty roads from the Parkway.

I did 60 miles or so on the Parkway (starting at the far south end) on my way from South Carolina to Mid Ohio back in 2019. It is a great ride.

Very nice Wing

[RAFster122s]

Nice Valkyrie Terry but I would rather have a ride or two with Valkyrie from Thor movies...
Don, nice looking Wing!
Danny, Hate I missed you and the others ,(Jerry, etc.) in '19 at Mid Ohio... didn't look in right place but walk nearby where you were several times.

 Thanks for the goldwing comments. That's the smooth seat that nearly neutered me going to Sturgis. Sliding forward all day long. At Mt. Rushmore KOA I skinned the front of the seat and cut the foam down with a hacksaw blade to make a pocket to sit in. I put a sheepskin on it too. Way better going home.
  I sold that bike when I found the 20 year sleeper and spent every penny on the sleeper. Unknown miles on the black one but it may have been a better bike.

 A few years ago. Mt. Rushmore, somewhere up there just out of the pic. is George Washingtons face.

Don,that's a nice blue color on your Goldwing:is that a GL1100 ?

My wife and me having fun playing in the snow,  old airhead "Beamers" are very good winterbikes.

Greetings from Denmark

[simon#42]

that looks like fun!

[spotty]

me, the R3 and a couple of dodgy other bikes at a mates place for a club meeting yesterday

[Trevor from Warragul]

A quick trip into the hills this morning (Victoria, Australia).  Beautiful weather, 23 degrees celcius with a cool Easterly breeze.  There's a 250 foot sheer drop on the other side of the H1A!  Recently, the bike had been losing some of its "pep", so I took out the old, dirty air filter and popped in a K&N filter I bought years ago. Pep restored!

[scunny]

nice looking bike Trev,

Beautiful bike Trevor, as soon as the Z1-B's sorted I'll put the new Dunlop K70's on the T500, hopefully get a RWC (bit nervous about the expansion chambers) and get my club plate, and then we'll have to go for a ride.

[Trevor from Warragul]

hopefully get a RWC (bit nervous about the expansion chambers)

From the video you posted, those chambers are a bit tamer than a set of Dencos on a Kawasaki triple, so I think you'll be fine!  If my Bandit with a Megacycle can pass, I don't think you'll have any problems.

we'll have to go for a ride

Sure thing!

[MauiK3]

Very nice Kawasaki, the pipes look great.

[Stev-o]

Very nice Kawasaki, the pipes look great.

One of the many good things on a two-stroke bike is the pipes dont typically rust out! 
I have at least 5 "smokers" with original pipes.

That's what I like about 2 stroke exhausts.

[Trevor from Warragul]

Mine has the obligatory "acid stains" on the left hand pipe.  I really want a set of Higgspeed "low" chambers for it - not for performance, just for the looks!

Two-stroke pipes may not rust out, but they do coke up (not so much with modern oils)...

I know that the 2 stroke silencers can "coke up" and can be a pain to decarbonize.The people with scooters,etc.(non-chrome usually black painted)can cook them in a barbeque until they get red hot on the coals for a duration to fully 'crisp' the deposits which makes it possible to shock/strike the exhaust canisters and clear them of those clogs using compressed air later.I think that's a difficult process to maintain them;I realize it won't be good on nice chrome mufflers/exhausts such as you have on your very nice H1..
