A very wet day... don't mind the odd day riding in the rain, as long as I stay dry. Feet got wet in short lace up boots. 👎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you are dressed for it who cares.Ride appropriately for the conditions. But when you are not dressed for it, its horrible. Feet or crotch especially miserable once soaked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 1moreroad Posted July 26, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 26, 2020 Rode up to Shiloh Battlefield and took a lap around Pickwick Lake. This is my 2nd ride on the Alabama side of Pickwick, and I found 75 miles of very good linked turns. We rode some wet roads, but we managed to avoid the rain under the the clouds in the pictures.

Oh man do I hear you but I kept my 22 year old young man's bike too and and my other Yamaha that's 24 years older than that, which is actually pretty comfortable if I can get it running... I love The Sweet Sound and smell of two-stroke twins. Can you guess what it is? Another hint, my year is red too (all my bikes are) and has self-canceling turn signals. Why can't Yamaha manage to have them on the FJ/Tracer/GT? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjdog Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Took a little spin up the mountain here in Santa Barbara. This is East Camino Ceilo. The area behind the bike is Montecito, then Santa Barbara Channel, Santa Cruz Island, and finally The Pacific Ocean. (Looking South) Here is another shot looking Northwest into the Los Padres National Forest. It was yet another beautiful day here in SoCal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted July 30, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 When I tell my wife I'm going for a short ride, she's learned over the last 40+ years that I may come home when the cows do. BTW, grown men here don't use your term for short or little though lil boys and girls do but they say it twice... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me, I once went for a ride with my pals, turned out they were doing a 24 hr navigation competition, all over England. My wife went absolutely crazy when I wandered in 24 hours later, with a wee bronze trophy in my hands. I remember sleeping on the sofa for a good week after that 'wee/short' ride.

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted July 30, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 If a term is used, Pish is the preferred term in my immediate family but never piss! What does Pish mean in Scottish? Translation: Urine. However, in Glasgow and other parts of Scotland, it's a common word for something that evokes a negative vibe. For instance, if the score at the football isnae going your way, 'it's a load of pish'.Jan 29, 2017 pish - Jewish English Lexicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
