Hey Cliff,

Nice GL!   Silver and red is a great combination. (oh, and the backdrop is nice too ;D)

On the Cherohala Skyway heading to the Blue Ridge Parkway... the day before I hit a wild turkey square in the face, but that's a whole story in itself!

Ditto! Good on ya! I did a similar thing on my old GS850G. Rode it to a local "Bike Night" and was the only one that rode a bike!
I guess the pansies thought that 28F was too cold for them including the heated everything Beemer and Goldwing riders!

Is there anything more fun than riding? They are between your legs and are quiet when you turn them off.

Thanks for the help Steve. My Photobucket is screwed up right now and that is the only way that I can send pic's currently.  >:(
It always gets quite at these Bike Nights when the temps drop below 65F. That is when those REAL bikers in their pirate garb, salad bowl helmets and H-D clothing stay home. LOL!!!

Pirate garb...love it.  ;D I thought they were bank robber masks!

I have to admit though I'd need heated knees to ride for any distance at 28d. Good for you guys.

It's been in the high 40's low 50's for almost a week now. If I had a working bike I would be riding it. I walked past half a dozen parked around the Loop this morning on my way to the office.

Yeah, nothing says "I'm a tough MOFO" more than walking into the meeting with snot frozen to your face.............  ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Out helping an old friend pick out a Christmas tree.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Just got my lil' Honda back on the road. '71 CL100 motor on an '81 CB125S frame. Just need to finish painting the fenders & it'll be done.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.
