Must be putting $$$$$ in his pockets through the Saudi's. As much as I would like to blame Biden, I know there's another reason gas prices went up. Yup.....I sold my hybrid and bought a pickup truck. Sure enough, within a month prices started to climb. You all have my apologies. Oh, and a pic. From a group ride I did with the local sport bike crew. It was a memorial ride for a fallen member. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted March 4, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 4, 2021 What is Biden have to do with the higher gas prices based on what I've read it's due to the storms in Texas and the profiteers increaing the price of oil in the Middle East 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted March 4, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted March 4, 2021 I had a small window of dry weather for a ride this morning before the rains returned... actually the forecast showed dry until 2pm, they must have meant Eastern time as I was caught in the rain by 11am, just minutes after this photo was taken. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Most that have taken the time to research why have found out about the Texas storm part, and the price of a barrel of oil has gone up, and also due to people gradually buying more fuel as we come out of our COVID-19 isolation and drive more again.) -Skip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Hugger extension does a pretty good job of keeping Spray off me and the shock though I bought both. The extender from Pyramid and the sock from Traxxion. Not a fan of 2-way tape on the extender, but I think I can fix that with rivets. We shall see what good these do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member fr8dog Posted March 5, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 5, 2021 Beautiful out today. Took a spin up to Idaho City after work. Good to get out without heated gear and not worry about icy roads. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted March 6, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 6, 2021 Not far as the crow flies but beautiful It took a hard day in a stage of saddle to get there in 1864! I'm sure you made it a lot faster with a better saddle https://duckduckgo.com/?q=distance+from+boise+to+idaho+city&atb=v242-1&ia=web&iaxm=directions&start=what%3ABoise%2C%20ID%2C%20United%20States&end=what%3AIdaho%20City%2C%20ID%2C%20United%20States&transport=drive Photo: The Old Toll Road Marker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member dazzler24 Posted March 6, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted March 6, 2021 Weather was too good yesterday so had to do a short ~200kms road trip into the hills near where I call home. Stopped for a light snack and coffee at a little place called Witta. The outlook on the veranda overlooks the type of hills that are all along the ride path. I'm a happy chappie. 😁 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they have the parking lot open? last time I went up they had everything blocked off and signs up and down the road saying no stopping or parking. Yes, as you can see, it is open. Store was closed even that the sign there was saying that it will be open on 3rd. I guess it will be reopen this coming Monday. Next week looks very promising...Perhaps I won’t be able to go out for a ride on Monday but definitely Tuesday and Wednesday (13C!). Maybe Thursday as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coworker says there was a lot of mining in the area back in the day. Idaho City still looks like an old western town. Dirt streets, wooden sidewalks and old western style storefronts. Also, a lot of people are packing. On the google map attachment you can see a popular ride here called "the loop". Keep heading north to Lowman, head over to Garden Valley and back down to Boise or wherever you started from. No loop yesterday. Elevation climbs to 6k on the way to Lowman. Roads are icy in places and sketchy. Rode it last year when we first moved here. Puckered me up a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sirepair Posted March 6, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 6, 2021 Out for my first ride of '21. Upper 30s/lower 40s with beautiful clear skies. Glad I have heated grips, gloves and liner! Picture is from a hilltop on the west side of Chillicothe, Oh, overlooking Main street. This will look so much better when everything greens up! Felt so good to be out on two wheels, it's been a long winter.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those roads up above the old towns looking down in western PA, WV, and eastern OH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
