Don't have my luggage rack on yet, so I could only go pick up the small bag of charcoal. Motorcycles and bbq...two of my favourite things!

Went out and put 234.2 miles on the old girl today.  Suspension is dialed in, 16T front sprocket is premium in the twisties, it was 80*F and beautiful.  I missed the road.  Finished up at a utopia for us oldie riders....thought I'd snap a few shots.

I don't know my way around out there very well. I just follow my buddy on the Kawi. Sat was a wonderful day. I'll get your number and we can meet next time we go that way.

Thank you so much fellas. Means a lot to have a group of people actually "get it" in relation to the long hours and constant obsession over these old girls. It's very much appreciated!

My bro and I took a spin in the country Sunday.  What a great day,  until I found out I had a charging issue and barely made it home.  Hopefully I can find a cure lurking around on here.

I can finally post a current pic on this thread. This was on my way back home from Kingman, after my leg in the relay. I had always wanted to check this route out, and I'm glad I took it today, even though it added almost 2 hours.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Your riding with your dad comment brought back some great memories of my dad and I riding together in the mid-70's.  Enjoy all your rides together. Miss ya dad.

Was out and about late today in Liberty, NC. Pulled into the parking lot at the American Legion Hall and snap this picture of my K6 along side this armored personnel carrier.

I was thinking the same thing. If there weren't so many critters that can eat your face off I might move there.
