jbr7t Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Ordered a Sena SMH-10 from Rocket Moto. Really impressed with the guy over the phone.

Can't wait to pick my GS up Thursday...the anticipation is killing me! Link to comment

TEWKS Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 More than enough room for tents but not necessary for the first few. Nice room above the garage and I've got a few air mattresses. Then we have Marty's suite if he's out of town! Pat Link to comment

lawnchairboy Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 150 DR & KLR miles today on two track and gorgeous asphalt in WVa and Va with big-T Herr Foote and my buddy Carl. A great day. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Lowered the gearing on my DR650 and then blew the clutch out on the test drive back to a mudhold. Link to comment
Computerbob Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Went on a ride chasing Bernie today. My GS needs some brake work, so I decided to ride the wife's Triumph half the day and switch with her for the Yamaha FZ8 for the other half. Being 6'1" tall, I learned that while both bikes are fun to ride, that fun wears off in about 20 minutes. There's no better way to remind yourself how much you appreciate your own bike than to get on a bike that just doesn't quite fit. Still had fun. I mean, how can I not? I was on two wheels chasing Bernie most of the day! Link to comment
jbr7t Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Rode up to Maryland to get a state sign picture for Effbee's 50 states moto photo contest. Had coffee and breakfast and sheets in Dahlgren then road accross the Gov. Nice Memorial Bridge to get the Maryland sign picture. Then back into work..where I'm killing a few minutes figuring how to post the pictures and updating this post! The new Givi breakfast table Welcome To Maryland Here's the one from the day I picked up the bike. This is at Alum Springs park in Fredericksburg, Va. Link to comment

Huzband Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Put a glove on this evening & gingerly worked the clutch in the garage. I wouldn't call it comfortable, & I'm not ready to push it & ride, but it's still progress. Link to comment

Don Beissel Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Pulled off the front wheel, replaced the Bobbins (Roll Pins) with new ones from Cata Dan, stabbed my finger with a screw driver, super glued it together to keep working, broke a retaining clip, bought a new one, broke a torque bit remounting the disks, bought a new one. Now I have disks that don't constantly rattle, and my finger will heal. Next is heated grips and a throttle meister. Link to comment
Huzband Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Put the two panels back on that I had taken off before the dog fight ensued two & a half weeks ago. Managed to get the helmet on, strapped, & back off. A bit tricky, but I can do it. Hot damn! I'm ridin' to work Fri! Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Used the heated grips riding on the 1 today! Wonderful day/a bit foggy. Link to comment

roadscholar Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sean from Montain Tech Yamaha put a new plug in the WR and it ran like a champ, seems it didn't like the year old gas from sitting over the Winter. Then I found some trails and an OHV park east of Buena Vista that had me grinning in my helmet for 2 hours. Oh good grief. Heat index tomorrow is scheduled for 103. It was a warmish 86 or so yesterday when Edd and I rode up to Antoro Meadows (not without some drama...I mean adventure), but it was a dry heat. Link to comment
tallman Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Used the heated grips riding on the 1 today! Wonderful day/a bit foggy. Next thing we know you'll be using turn signals. running very quickly....... Hope it is a wonderful trip. Now find yer Kamera woodya? Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Danny, the high was 67 on the coast yesterday/low was 58. Love it! Tim, too much fog for pics. I do have 2 cameras with me. Maybe tomorrow. Link to comment
RTJohn Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Attended the MotoGP in Laguna Seca over the weekend. My first motorcycle race. It was awesome! Watching motorcycles on TV doesn't come close to seeing what those guys do in person. The riders must have modified seats to hold those extra-large testicles they must be dragging around. It was a great weekend. The ride back down PCH to LA not so great. Foggy the whole way. Still, a great weekend. Link to comment

I'll try but as you know pics don't do it justice. Felt a little like being on the moon. I put the bike in the shot for reference, and just walked around it (Edd and I both made the top but we missed each other up there if you can believe that). Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 You are all making me jealous. 6 days post left foot surgery to repair a torn plantar plate so I'm not doing any riding for a while. Link to comment

Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Bug removal and helmet and gear douching after a trip to central Alberta province for my Aunt's 93rd birthday. 3200+ miles in four days of riding. Two saddlesore (IBA) days in there. You guys have some very serious thunderstorms up there. Monday am, Edmonton, 25 mph traffic on the freeway. Raining too hard to safely go hide under an overcrossing due to low visibility and standing water. First time ever riding in Canada, Montana and Idaho. Beautiful places! Link to comment
