i rolled out before 1st light... didnt take any photos... had too many coax wires to disconnect... butts shoulda had cause the sunrise was spectacular...
my only fear was dew point... abouts 7:30am the roads gotts real slick... then all was well after 11am... rolled out a few hundert miles of glaciated cheezconsin... stayed away from the twisties...
saw lotts of wildlife and a few tailgating a-holes... look a-hole... im riding a f-ing motobrick on mico thin black f-ing ice... pass me or back the f off... a-hole...
butts i found donkey paradise... its only 30 minutes from the motobrick garage...

feet = knee high socks + electric insoles + oxtar matrix boots...
lowers = ld comfort knee length shorts + motoport stretch kevlar pants...
uppers = ld comfort long sleeve shirt + warm n safe gen4 electric jacket + motoport stretch kevlar jacket...
hands = gerbing electric liner gloves + held steve gloves...
que ball = underarmour baklava + turtle fur neck tube + gmax 54s helmet with dual shield...
grips = electric + heattroller...
i was telling jumping jimmy b that i didnt like to ride when it was below 30 degrees cause its hard on the old motobrick... butts i gotts to ride... no snow and no ice on the weekends... im riding... yeeeeehaaaaaaaa...

92 imperial gallons or US gallons.Neither.Apparently it's to do with volatility.Probably measured in joules per second,bit like power but I'm sure you already knew that....
Any way,my bike woke up sick yesterday ,so I'm sulking.Sudden shit carburation syndrome with 1.5 Yeehaaa factor above 4500 rpm and rough cough splutter 0.25 Yeehaaa factor off idle to the start of the new sweet zone.
I suspect I've got shit rubber syndrome as well,now.Jeez, it comes on quick just like that.

Got new tiors. K1100RS is leaning rolling into turn super smoov now. Had to finish scrubbing them in. 101 cheezconsin miles on the trip gauge after i filled up for gas.
Herseyb- Looks like we prowl the same byways. Ive been Rolling a consistent 65miles per day in the chee between home work in Mineral Point and school in Fennimore. I note also we have similar taste in k bikes, how bout that. So Im restoring a K1100 that will need tires next spring. Michelin Pilot radials look good but 6 year old make date. What did you buy/try? What's the mapping app. Cheers.

RCG - looks like I am a bit east of ya, halfway between Belleville and Brooklyn on 92. I basically always ride west northwest to hit the driftless. Lately most of my miles have been to work in Madison and back though.
I am planning a Belleville -> Potosi -> Wyalusing (day 1), Wyalusing -> Dubuque -> Savannah/Sabula (day 2), Savannah -> Galena -> Belleville 2Up camping trip for early October if the weather holds out. Should be a good loop with some great southern driftless motorcycle roads.
The tires I got are the Michelin Pilot 3 radials. Happy with them so far @ 150 miles.

So today, Momma is in Alabama visiting sick relatives, so I rode over to Milton to have breakfast (almost 11 by the time I finished), then down to a Yamaha dealer south of Janesville, a quick stop at a Triumph dealer near Janesville and back home.
Just few notes - until I got to Milton, I saw more turkeys on the road than anything else - real wild turkeys!! Just west of here, a couple ran out of the ditch in front of me and scared the bejeebers out of me, then about 10 miles later one adult with a flock of young ones (too many to count, but at least ten).
Nearing Milton I rode past the gasahol plant - interesting smell, that!
On the way home, I had a lucky whim when riding north off US Hwy 14 on County M, I decided to leave M and run north on County Line Rd. County Hwy A was completely torn up - impassable - going west onto Rock county - I don't know how far. Lucky for me, I wanted to proceed in the other direction. County Hwy A needs rebuilding in Rock county - ultimately this will be a good thing.
Part of the attraction of the ride to Milton is riding past the south end of Whitewater lake. I'll try to post a couple pics of the route. Not that many twisties, but a lot of nice scenery. With the rainy summer we have had, everything is green yet at the end of August. The high today is 70F, just a really nice day for a ride. I need to do this more often.

I don't know why Google maps insists on showing that goofy loop in the red circle on the second map.

Bear generally wrenches Jap bikes (my 85’ GW resto a huge success)-but let me plug him here for fair rates and veryfinenworkmanship. That’s a new word... Two Battlaxae drop shipped, mounted with new steel valve stems price too low to admit publicly. Would that Momma weren’t waiting on me we’d be still in the Yee Ha lane. (I take on Johnnyspeak like an accent when traveling abroad)—We hope to meet and greet again in October. 175 clicks on the GW now w 112k and rolling strong. Fantastic bike.

So what’s a good choice of ride tracker mapping app? Can Google maps be used? Or am I seeing routes entered manually afterwards?
Work demands have been lighter pms of late affording me time to wander the General Mineral Point area in search of twisties. I need to return with go pro to show a sharply rising 270 degree bend on county Q outside MP Johnie take note!! Worth the ride! Let’s fit in one more fall ride? Maybe some others in the area would care to meet up in MAdison some upcoming Saturday? Flew most of this afternoon over the same area. Sign me Inwinterdenial.

I use Rever - https://www.rever.co/ (https://www.rever.co/) - I was on the free version for about a year but them switched to the paid version so that I can create routes and also follow routes done previously by friends etc.

So normally I spend the workday daydreaming about this button hook corner a loop of County Road QQ offState Road 39 NE of Mineral Point. The lens doesn't do justice to the elevation change but my pan mid-corner shows how oncoming traffic is visible allowing a full-on assault. Switchbacks in the mountains are generally blind and you turn in track-style at your peril Today I with a cold and wet condition- a slow roll and some video work is about all I'm up to.

Not sure all where Johnny went, but we started down in Belleville and cut up 92 to Mt Horeb, then went up JG, from Stewart lake county park to Brigham county park. Then cut through Vermont Township on Zwettler and Sweeny roads, up HH, Coon Rock to Hi Point, to American Players Theatre. Then I snuck down county T and looped around the far side of Blue Mounds, down through the south part of JG where it goes along the upper Sugar River and was back home 115 miles later.
Hope to see ya out next time!

That looks like a great ride - I have been on some of those roads but it has been many years. I only made about 37 miles, but it was a fun 37 miles. There is still a lot of sand left over from road treatment on the corners and between the lanes in this part of the state.

J to JG is my favorite hour and a half lunch break ride out of Madison, get lunch at the Grump Troll and zip back to the office on rt 18. JG lulls you into confidence with a few 25 mile an hour turns you can take at 50mph, and then mixes in a few 15 MPH turns that you better take at 25.
I drifted my k11 going across my muddy lawn getting it out of the shed saturday night - no thanks! Maybe on a DRZ400.

Fuel in LaCrosse was interrupted by wifey asking me to return home early. We missed out on flying my pals Cub so he sent images just to torment me. 300 miles in the saddle AND a flight and probably would have been check in at the local No Tell.. I was toast upon arrival home even in air suspended comfort.
Turned inland via 14 and 61. Highlight for me was descending and the climbing the boat launch road inside Wyalusing State park. Another is the detour off The Great River Road into the hills above Genoa WI. I want to go back and drive county road K again and again. My pal arrived with a new Gold Wing so the Aspencade got a work out.

thankfully, they are as rare as pumas in Wisco, so the temptation to add one to the fold hasn't materialized.

Thanks for the warning, RC. Do you wear those "No Malarkey" Ray Ban's and that flight-line operator's vest on the VFR? :afro:

Volodor, I know better than to get you started by poking back. Yes, a safety course once told me that the vest makes me more visible to all the Donnas rolling around texting in their Chevy Neon. Now I will add that if I invite my 9 year old Lab Pnut along young women come up and start a conversation in an attempt to mee my pooch, vest or not :laughing4-giggles: Cheers mate, nice to hear back from you, I recall your many gracious replies over the years. Regards.

So tank #1 is Catwell sealed and another showed up on my doorstep. Second times the charm....managing the heat on this corroded (thinner) metal not for the feint of heart). Anyway, practice practice practice when it comes to welding. Votador, cheers and happy holidays, yes, tank # is done, pressure checked ok and awaiting final assembly.

8 pages in 8 years deserves a fresh thread. mr_10brook, Greg is coming the "The Chee" sometime, probably late September to collect purchased bits from me. We are down for a ride before sending him home. My personal goal is to push through sorting my K75S.Clayton,

I hope to make it back to Wisconsin on a motorcycle next year. This year I did make it back to Monroe and then Green Bay for a Packers game, it helps when your first cousin is the Director - Football Operations 112350
We'll see what happens this next year.
Anyone plan on attending the MOA or RA national rallies? I'll be there and at the MOA will be working Airhead Central.

No plans for attending these big events. 2023 will be my year for more gravel. Where TBD. Hope we connect again

Stokster, happy holidays!Greaves: Gravel - where? and on what bike? I can't imagine lots of gravel on a K. I'm looking at June/July North on the Dempster Hwy on my F.

Sorry to derail this discussion if that's what I've done.

Ichyboots.com has given me wander lust..
My county is rather rural and many of the back roads are gravel. I swapped Mr. TenBrook for some sweet lookin ADV tires. Happy holidays my friend.

Here's one example of an off tarmac K. I have my snow flakes set up just so. The Emporor said " your lack of vision will cause you to suffer".. so take that. And then he jolts the guy...
I don't see myself in Baja on my K but shod with more aggressive rubber I intend to tear around the wealth of well engineered gravel I find around here.

Rear suspension presumably altered as well as the front (can't see in this photo) -- and do you do a driveshaft spline extension a la Bruno? Would spokes be better on the wheels? Rear drums makes sense if you're hoping to lay it down a few times . . . I so much prefer riding my K on anything other than really rough roads, it would be great to have an enduro K75

Recognize those suspension parts? No markings. Differ from images in manual.
Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on January 23, 2023, 09:27:55 AM
Those forks make the front wheel look kind of small. I would feel better even on gravel with a 21 inch wheel in front and another inch or so of travel added in the rear. The K75 doesn't have what I consider enough rake and trail in the front end for really fast traffic in the rough. The bigger wheel might help.
At least the tires will give you lots of additional grip that will come in very handy, especially when diagonally crossing ruts in the road.
If you go back 6 or 7 years here, you might find information on Tim Tyler's K75 which he set up for riding fire roads in the Northwest. It was a very tidy machine that could cover rough ground pretty quickly.

I've read some articles. My bike is my avatar...with cool new tires! suspension restoration pending after having it on blocks for a year.
