First proper ride of 2020: Boston to Harvard. Temps in the low 50s, bike ran great after its winter slumber...about 120 miles round trip. Not bad for leaving at 2.30pm

Change of something on the bike will need a test ride.
Next good reasons is to visit various roads, viewpoints and a nice cheap restaurant or cafe with interesting surroundings or people.
I have to wait almost 1 month with 2 bikes ready for a test ride.

Andy, you can make exactly the same photos at next rides to follow how spring, summer and autumn change the views

Nice! I'm missing my 75 K5 that is still slumbering in NH while I'm out in San Diego for the winter, I'm on my Goldwing at least..... My last ride on the 75 was late October, 200 miles to Lincoln NH, before I headed south to Alabama before swinging west to the left coast. Unfortunately my back won't allow my cross country rides on the 750....

Andy
Do you know about the Wednesday night bike nights up in Milford NH? It's at Union Coffee on Rt 13 just south of the Oval.
I should be back by June for the summer and fall.

So do I. There are improvements to verify. I can try to find new places to visit until spring is here, min 15C/60F

Winter here, so no fun just yet, but couldn't wait to take it outside.

PeWe · « **Reply #7735 on:** March 19, 2020, 10:40:31 AM »

2020 Premiere! Nice weather after work +10C and sunshine. 60 km ride. Stopped at a popular cafeteria in a horse center in a small village called Strömsholm.

Not only horses here, usually chicks too in riding boots and riding trousers. Saw some, did not have the phone in my hand for a sneak pic.
Yeah whip me! : D

That is very close to where I took the photo, about 1 km. Nice place with a creek/river flowing beside it.

I'll take a photo there next time.
Plus be prepared for nicely shaped female horse riding trousers. Hopefully riding boots too. Plan B, a horse....

My K6 next time.
EDIT:
I noticed that the ride was 87km.

This was wild! I have never seen the strip empty out here! I tried to get a better picture near the center of the strip, but the police kept telling me I couldn’t stop. So I had to settle for here. So eerie.

Beautiful bike Davez any more pics?

Davez134 · « **Reply #7741 on:** March 21, 2020, 07:10:29 PM »

I just took this one today. I'll get some better ones next week. Strip will be shut down for a bit still.

MauiK3 · « **Reply #7742 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:55:01 AM »

Wow, poor folks in Las Vegas. Too bad, so many jobs at stake everywhere.
Also, very nice bike, can you post some stuff up about it and how it came to be so nice? How about a thread?
We'd all love the distraction.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #7743 on:** March 22, 2020, 05:39:55 PM »

Nice pic Dave! So are all the casinos closed? They have all been closed here as of today, along with all "non-essential" services, including gyms, theatres, pubs, clubs, and restaurants can only serve "take away" or "home deliveries". The big shopping centres are open though, I'm "working from home" but the system isn't working, so I might wander off to get my Henry Abe wheels blasted and see if I can buy some sugar somewhere, to make a batch of ginger brew. I've got a freezer full of meat, a fridge full of booze, and the wife's "Clive Cussler" book collection for toilet paper, so I'm making out like a bandit!

Mine was on the road when I took the pic.

My 74 550 at the blood bank the other day.

Nice lookin' 550
Did you leave a pint?
Blood banks around here are pleading for donors.

PeWe · « **Reply #7747 on:** March 23, 2020, 09:28:26 AM »

Blood bank??? Need spare parts or money for an oil change?

Good looking bike!
Really strange, at late 70's and 80's stock looking bikes were so boring!!
Rebuilt to look fancy then, horrible today when a pure stock looking or slightly modified CB is fantastic!

The Lone Builder · « **Reply #7748 on:** March 24, 2020, 03:46:06 PM »

I did it!

Outside the City Hall, in Belfast, N Ireland having ridden 24,000 kms from Belfast, South Africa.
