Good job showing up with a brick that's just as clean as all the new bikes, one of which looks a bit like an easter egg.  :yes

+1 on that.  The styling dodads they are putting on the newer bikes are ridiculous, especially the bird beaks on the GS models. WTF?!

That is some pretty white sand they have there.  How's the bike running?

Yuo  :neener:  We use the browner stuff on the road !  Was a lot of it at corners and intersects today [courtesy of our ice storm last week]  :mbird  Bikes running well but that is only my estimation / opinion  :dunno.  Seems great to me.... 1 - 2 shifts maybe a little clunky.  Will be changing fluids this week .  Have speed bleeders coming and some moly powder for gearbox.   

Stopprd short of a recommended twisties as sand was a little too much for me ..... didn't want to  :falldown:

I think you're going to like the moly powder.  The two bikes I put it in are shifting noticeably easier and smoother.  The third has that pink stuff in it and doesn't shift as nice as the other two now.  I think I'll be changing it soon and going to full synthetic with a couple teaspoons of the moly. 

And don't put the moly in the engine.  It's so slippery, it'll screw up the sprag clutch which needs a little bit of friction to work properly.

About 35 years ago we used to camp down the road from Washago. Past Cooper's Falls via Black River Road into Queen Elizabeth II Wildlife Preserve. Doubt I'd want to take the brick down that dirt track though ...

Thanks for the link to that article. No wonder I like the new Africa Twin so much - no beak (as mentioned in the article). I hadn't actually noticed the absence of beak, just liked the look of the bike (and its performance). I could see one of those in my garage once there are some used ones on the market - that or a Husqvarna 701 - depending on the expected dirt/street ratio. I sometimes miss my KTM 950 Adventure (also beakless).

The frost is out of the mountain road and the salt is off the blacktop so I took a ride to get a helmet part from Roadside Motorsports in Williston, Vermont. This is looking southeast at Camels Hump mountain in the distance. I live on the mountain's eastern flank. Fair weather, a light wind and temperature around 45ºF make for good riding.

Another clear day in the forties. These are photos of the Green Mountain Club's footbridge across the Winooski River—part of Vermont's Long Trail.

Hello all Fellow Motobrickers!

          today with another bricker to whom I was going to buy a k100rs se from, decided to meet early in the morning and ride our bricks, we took off from Glendale CA,,, rode Angeles Crest , to Upper big Tujunga canyon road (9mile HWY), to Angeles forest Road, to the last Pass before arriving to Palmdale, took some pictures of our respective Brickes and head home pretty much the same way, awesome ride , perfect day and weather....
