Winter riding
« on: February 27, 2016, 06:57:02 PM »
Kinda chilly today, light breeze, 67 degrees, guess I should see if the bike will start after sitting up all three days of the cold weather. Yea, guess we have a short ride down the coast........

Old 1848 lighthouse on St. George Island, rebuilt brick by brick after destroyed by a hurricane in 1994.......

Carrabelle,Fl. police department, where crimes falling and the police are downsizing...

Just a quick run 200 miles down the coast, dodging deer and snowbirds.Maybe tomorrow will be better.....

Yeah, I know. My granddaughter wasn't her to do in for me. Thought of a new name for the bike color..."A'int Skeered Yella", but the boys up North might not understand it.

67 chilly?  Where the hell are you, Mercury?  :yow  See you have one of those basturd Russian BMW imitations too.  That's all I ride in the winter, 3rd wheel really helps it stay upright.

Been addicted to hacks long time, this is my third. Put a Hannigan on an '04 K1200RS which was wicked quick. Wish I'd kept that bike, but that's back when Nazi Woman placed limits on how many "units" could be in the garage.

Maybe that's just the way the light is hitting it though. I'll switch monitor preferences.

Wouldn't the court tell you when it's over, Ace? Did they run out of ankle monitors and require your bike to be that color?

Just call my bike "Sunshine", which I'll be riding in again today. Say, how's the weather in the frozen North, Laitch?

Had a flexit on my 75s many moons and colors ago, but back then I decided I needed to ride to get away from people rather than taking them with me :riding:

Dang it, Laitch! You put some bad juju on Yella Dog.................today on a five hour ride all over the interior back roads of the Apalachicola National Forest, my bike spit the left side cover off in the ditch somewhere, yeah, a rare unobtanium Dakar Yellow side panel! Guess I'll be coating a spare panel with mustard to get the right shade!
