Loads of liquid sunshine last night & more for today.....hopefully will finally wash the rest of the snow off the driveway, so we can start driving the car again. Then I can replace the headlights on the truck w/ a new set I just bought...as they've seen better days since the deer I hit a coupla years ago. Also will be into finishing "thorn-proofing" the tires on my better half's Etrike. There's no company that makes thorn-proof inner tubes for 20"x 3" fat tires...but I did buy some thorn-proof strips to be applied between the tubes & the inside of the tires....so we'll see how that pans out...

Depending on where you're going....that's generally a great month to Ride over here...

Another Forever Missed soul....

Buck's new toy?...

SuperHawk 996....

Alot of Truth in that one...

Case in point.... 2 sweet Zeds from Bull Dock in Japan...

After a glorious day yesterday (weather-wise)....woke up to 16f this morning, so the slimey snow that's left has turned to crunchy hardness....the dogs liked it as they could run across it w/o sinking their short legs into it. Going with Mrs. Hook to have a go at building a FB page for our church today...that oughta be interesting...

'89 CR 500... w/ alloy tank & an awesome fork...

MX action from Ascot Park back in '85....

Fortunately, had no need for water-proofing anything as it was early Sept....so the rain fly that covers the screen'd roof of the tent, was left home. That old Windjammer fairing was kool for just stuffing my sleeping bag into just in front of the gauges...no need to bungie it on the bike. I really loved the crisp air at the 6k ft. elevation....reminded me of skiing quite a bit.

Life is like a roll of TP....the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes...

Some pics from my trip down to AZ & back, in 2011.... Been to Crater Lake a few times since I was a kid... Riding down to there was awesome... Then went down the east side of northern CA...down to Susanville & then crossed over into NV... Camped out roadside at about 6k ft. level... When I left the next morning, this was the only greenery around for miles... Turns out to be a bird sanctuary....kinda cool out in the middle of the desert.... 1 thing I'll never forget is the clear desert sky's at night... I covered 2500 miles...down to Parker AZ & back....all in 98 hrs....about 625 miles per day....It was a blast!

Predecessor to the 700?....
