Nice pics Dave. As clean as your bike is, I'd steal Bear......... ;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?"

Excellent 500 mile round trip to NY state from Boston MA. Empty country roads for 2 days in beautiful sunshine - perfect!

Yeah you're right Dave, anyone who steals dogs to treat them miserably in dogfights deserves to roast in hell for eternity. If I steal your dog, I promise I'll treat him well. ;D

While much of the rest of the country bakes I endured a sometimes chilly ride skirting the western slopes of Mt. Rainier yesterday.  Stopped at a no-name bar in Roy and sipped a Blue Moon on draft before making the final push back to Tacoma.

Got the K2 back running well again after head change and pilot jet struggle.
Trip to a nice cafe close to a lake at Borgåsund. Continued to a beautiful park with a castle at Tidö.

Here is a photo from a few months ago near the Vic/NSW Border, sadly I've had her sitting aside while I go nuts on my Triumph Thruxton/Scrambler hybrid monster after I decided not to sell the Thruxton. All I need to do is modify a shocker, new cables all around and repair the seat  ;D ;D

I don't know why it posted sideways, enjoy the neck stretch!

Sunday morning ride to downtown Boston past the State House



Then across the river via the nice long tunnel - nice to hear the 4 pipes- then onward to Winthrop and Deer Island



Carried on to Nahant before circling back through Revere beach - packed at 9am!!

Went for a ride yesterday morning down the finger lakes and stopped along Seneca Lake.  Beautiful day and the weather has been cooperating on weekends...finally!   Spring and into June was mostly rain.  Nice to be able to jump on the bike on a whim and do some riding.
