The forecast calls for possible low land snow within a few days so I need to ride when I can, it was high 40's (F) and sunny this morning so I couldn't pass up a riding opportunity.

I got home and decided to give 'Big Red' some love as well, so back out for another ride in the sunshine.

Nice photos... and some lucky breaks with the weather you're having. Noticed the FJ is missing the front sprocket cover. I am guessing this is intentional?

I tried a few different gearing changes, 15T, 16T and 17T and didn't bother to put it back on.  Its sitting on the work bench waiting for my laziness to pass... 🤣

Lovely photos as usual.  👍  I was going to ask the same question about that sprocket cover but the "...waiting for my laziness to pass" does it for me too.

I got out for about 250 brisk miles on Sunday, with a long-time friend and riding companion.   Between the two of us, we brought 300+ horsepower, 7 cylinders, 1 supercharger, and 100+ combined years of riding experience to the party.  😀

It’s always fun to log some backroad miles with someone you know and trust…

Scott

I can't figure out what your buddy is riding

it's a newer one with the green space frame obviously a Kawasaki 

I can just see the top of the blower

some close-up shots would be appreciated

What do you figure your fastest red 15 is putting out $105 at the rear wheel with about 62? pounding feet?

It's nice having a buddy you cync with!

Bend over backwards to keep them in the game and hopefully he'll reciprocate

How many times have you been on those roads

can you count over the years

That's why having CTE is fun because old roads can be new again

I rewatch the season of MotoGP and it's a new race every time

Tomorrow again it's supposed to get up to 54 and sunny

But I think the bottom is going to drop out after tomorrow

hopefully we won't be in a deep freeze 10 days again

that was enough for anyone over the age of 60

and you dream of being somewhere warm you can ride

Beautiful autumn day... glorious 9C and full of colour. Pumpkins are out and lots of Halloween spirit out in the country. Got the mitts slipped over the hand guards... light summer gloves... toasty. 😎

Hi, wondering where you bought the bar mitts?

Hey Bret - That’s a Kawasaki Z H2 SE, which is the naked version of the H2 supercharged line…  ‘Hypersport standard’ is how I would describe it.  Detuned to ‘only’ 197 horsepower, but with a 100+ foot-pound torque curve that will pull your arms out of their sockets.  Stupid quick; crazy fun.  😀

Kelly is 74, and still rides VERY well.  He’s quick, smooth, efficient, and always in control.  It gives me hope that I have another 15 or 20 years of motorcycling in my future.

Took the bike out for our first ride of 2024. The shock came back from service and I managed to finish things up last weekend. The fork re-valve works great, and the clutch basket is finally nice and quiet. New LiFePO4 battery... cranks mad. Feels good to be on the bike again. 🙂

It happened to me February 9-th and 3 times after that. Today was first one in March. Over 600 km so far this season.
