Hoping to make a real post to this thread next week.

Edit:  It woulda been this week but the carbs were sticky.  Got to drive it a bit last weekend.  Did not like the stickyness of the carbs to I took em off to clean.  Put my finger one the sliders and my finger stuck to them.  So, hoping to have em clean and back on the bike this weekend.

The weather was good-  literally just a couple of rain drops, but mostly sunny.  It was a great trip over, if a bit on the slow side.

I picked up one of those afternoon mountain rain showers that got me pretty good down by the lake after I left the park (which was ~1 hour of dirt road, for those who might want to go that way).

Ah sorry on the road means "on the road on a trip" - not parked on the street in front of your apartment or parked in front of the garage...its supposed to show your beautiful ride being used as it was intended  ;) ;D.

Go on a ride/trip and take a few shots and post them!  

cheers

My 750F1 passed it's annual safety inspection last week (MOT Test to us Brits), so me an the wife packed up and went to a biker bash near the East coast of England.


We got there without any breakdowns, the smiles says it all

I saw this little fella but couldn't find the owner. Nice bike tho.

Very nice Tretnine! I like the view!

Grizzly - that is one clean machine!

Andy1976 - what bike show were you at? The camping in the background reminds me of my times at the Bulldog Bash, near Birmingham.
