Harvest time on Clear Lake road

Bike looks great, Kevin. What is being harvested?

[MauiK3]

maybe wheat?

[Kevin D]

Sorry, I’m a city boy, not a farm boy, but yes maybe wheat, but not the taller amber waves of grain.
I found a map that says soft red winter wheat is grown in Michigan

It might go to the Jiffy mix plant just down the road.

 Stev-o, here’s is the fading Strawberry Lake road hydrangea, just a couple white blooms left.

[Stev-o]

Still looks pretty good, but heard you are getting a cold blast soon?!

[Kevin D]

Yes, Stev-o, cooler tonight is in the forecast. I think we are cooler than average for the last few weeks, so maybe we are owed a few warmer days. We had a frost warning earlier this week, but didn’t quite make it, probably further north or rural areas did. It should be nice color next time out.
 How are the fall temps in Texas? I see budman getting out quite a bit.

Moonrise ride in Idaho farmland

Bike is hesitating off of idle, after a couple of years trouble free since last tuning. Argh I hate carburetors.

Jeff, if you are going to be riding it more, then throw some Seafoam in the tank. Often it can clean up minor carb issues. I use it as a preventative additive on my carb'd bikes to keep them in good form. As long as I am feeding them good quality fuel I seem to have fewer carb issues on carbs that have been cleaned previously.

Thanks RAFster122, I’ll try that.

Looks like soybeans. Big crop down around this part of Michigan along with corn. Lotta beans around my house this year and the harvest is on.

Hey Kevin...fall temps in TX are great, we are just not quite there yet.  High today expected to be 90F.

But, the first real cold front is coming this weekend and next week is expected to be perfect...high around 80.

Planning to hook up with Budman next weekend at our annual "Harvest Classic" vintage motorcycle rally!

Every dog has its day, get your rides in while you can. The thermometer is dropping here and looks to be well below average for the next 6 days. There is only going to be a few more days suitable for riding around here and I need to have a clear schedule and be ready to go when it happens…. Or move to Texas!

Or be a snowbird to AZ...93f here today and overnight low starts day at around 62-64 the past few days .. will be dropping into 50s overnight in next couple weeks as temps drop to 80s for high ..
Plenty of great riding here during winter. Even more if you rug you for the temps and use heated grips...

Took her for a beer run. I've been working too much and she's lonely.

Is that an aftermarket seat?  I like the lower profile look. Where did you get it?

Thanks. It was one of those head twisting moments going by and thinking 🤔  gotta turn around and get a shot of that tree. I love the fall colors of NH but it's a reminder that the days of 70 degrees are coming to an end. And the colors too..... pouring rain overnight will have brought  down many the leaves so will need to be careful driving the van when it gets light out. Thankfully there are still a lot more trees that haven't changed color yet in southern NH and I'll get out on the bike's over the weekend again.

Wonderful colors, good looking bike and  fiery autumn leaves

[newday777]

Thanks Per. 
Yours is a good looking bike too. Must be the blue.....
I'm jealous of the billet block you have......

It would look good on a calendar.

Great pic mate, I'm looking forward to some moonlit rides.

[Terry in Australia]

I decided to blow the cobwebs out of my old K2 bitsa today, did my weekly 130 mile pie run and the old girl went like a rocket. I must ride it more often.

You're right Terry. I need to do the same with my bikes.

If you think of it, tell Budman the picture of my 550F and his 750 I took when we rode into Telluride during the Reunion in 2017 is the wallpaper on my work computer

How does Bitsa handle with the rear tire?
