Wow! PeWe, Thanks for all that. My family is always looking for interesting and tasty food to try. Just last week we had pupusas, Salvadoran street food looks very much like the stuffed Turkish bread in the video. I think I can find Harissa in the world market but the internet is telling me it’s very much like Sriracha, Vietnam hot sauce, which we have in the pantry.
I found the restaurant menu and I’m guessing your bowl was #36 because it’s the only one I saw with jalapeño peppers. It’s not easy for me, I don’t know kyckling from oxfile from lök. Your English is much better than my Swedish.

I’m usually on our rural county roads, two paved lanes, no shoulder, speed 45-50mph. We don’t have narrow undivided paved roads like your photo, but I have seen drivers cross the centerline to avoid a pedestrian or a bicycle while endangering me.

Seymour road, Jackson county

I parked near a walnut tree to get the cornfield in the background and I’m grateful that no walnut fell on my gas tank.

Nice photo of your good lokking bike, Kevin.

Your countryside roads look like here except for the higher growing corn.

You found the restaurant menu!

Photos of the rides will help to survive winter.

Finally got the 74 CB550 on the road today. 1st 8 miles it ran perfect. Will put a few more miles to break-in.

Went for the wide open spaces today on the faithful 750F, crossing the Snake River a few times in the process. Beautiful day, the bike was running perfectly, seemingly enjoying the ride as much as I was.

CraZ1, that is one very impressive looking bike; I'm envious, well done

I rode down to my campsite about 60 miles away on Friday. The ride passes through Welch's grape fields along route 20 in NY state. The smell of grapes and the fall sun were awesome. Then I got to do it again on the way home. Great weekend!

Rookster! That is gorgeous!

Totally agree! Where ya been hiding that one?

Rookster · « **Reply #8737 on:** October 04, 2021, 05:17:25 AM »

Thanks guys. This is my old yellow Dunstall bike. I didn’t ride the Dunstall much because it was pretty uncomfortable so I had to decide to either sell it or change it into a bike I would ride regularly. There are still a few things I want to do to it but this version is much more rider friendly.

Definitely looks better in green.
Yes grapes in the fall are a great smell as are spring rides with Lilacs in NH or orange blossom rides in the San Diego hills or the fir trees of the northwest do to the senses. So much to experience while out riding our bikes.

Surprised to still see a Jewel Osco store. Used to have them around the west side here at one time. I remember way back when when Osco had some great prices on handguns. My dad and I bought a few .22 caliber Ruger Bearcats which are a collectible pistol nowadays.If I remember they were around 60-70 bucks or so each. If you park it out that far do you chain or lock it up ? Lots of bikes getting stolen --------

That's nuts. Those things are $500+ used now. Hope this bike appreciates that much...

I didn't even think about someone rolling off with it while in there. USUALLY, I have a steering lock installed but Im waiting on the matching combo set I ordered. Yeah, northside Chicago there are a few of them.

Put 200km on the K1 yesterday. Headed north on “Hwy 507 and Glamorgan Road”, towards Halliburton, Ontario. Two legendary “bike roads”. Perfect Fall colours and the roads were sunny, clean, and DRY!

Quick ride into the Texas Hill Country just northwest of home. Was feeling guilty not riding this poor thing much lately. Felt great, I need to get out there more with the cooler weather.
