Title: Re: it just aint warming up yet . . . Post by GBG on 03/28/16 at 10:32:53 I had a rare weekend off, and made plans to hit a weekly "Cars and Coffee" on Saturday morning. I had such an itch to ride that I rode in 30 degrees. My hands were cold by the time we got there, but the hot coffee had me ready to enjoy the beautiful afternoon ride. |

Title: Re: it just aint warming up yet . . . Post by Kris01 on 03/28/16 at 18:49:14 It's been too cold lately for much of anything. However, last Saturday I rode all day. It was in the 70's and I couldn't pass up the chance! |

Title: Re: it just aint warming up yet . . . Post by MMRanch on 03/28/16 at 19:47:00 congrats Dave ! 8-) 520 lbs. of FUN ! :) 65 HP is plenty with some left over . ------------------------------------ I went for a ride Saturday . I met the rest of our CMA group at 8am at a place an hour away from the house , so at 7AM when I left it was 35 deg. I had so many layers on I couldn't move but stayed warm. By 11:00 I was shedding layers. The day ride totaled about 300 miles and the afternoon topped out in the high 60's. :) Ya'll remember the gloves with the zippered cuff that has a rain cover ... ;) ------------------------- Gus , is the big ride in SD worth making the trip ? |

Sounded like a nice ride Saturday MMRanch. Last time I was in Sturgis during a Rally was in 1986. I've been to the Black Hills many times over the years. The Black Hills has much to offer a vacationer . . . especially on a bike. Lotsa twisties, tunnels and what have you. To go to Sturgis during a rally you gotta like people cause there's lots of them show up. Really it is what you make of it. Some really nice riding and sight seeing that can be done any time of year. Cepting winter months of course :-/ |

Title: Re: it just aint warming up yet . . . Post by MMRanch on 03/28/16 at 22:33:28 So Gus ... ::) If we came to SD some time , you think you might point us in the right direction ? :-? That would be a hole new thread in its self . But maybe next year ??? I know some of the fellers here aren't that far away and some of us that are far really like to ride. :) |

I have the ST1100 for sale on Craigslist.....a fellow is coming over to look at it tonight. It is a great bike, and a really good buy for the $ 3,600 I am asking for it. The darn thing is just a bit too big and heavy for me. The NT700 is in Blountville, TN. It is a 2010 and only has 2,400 miles on it....the current owner has 22 motorcycles and is looking to sell off a few! :o |

Title: Re: it just aint warming up yet . . . Post by old_rider on 03/29/16 at 04:12:00 Holy freoles Dave! Take some pictures when you go over there :) I'm not in the market for a newer bike yet, but, you never know :) Good luck on your sale of the 1100 ! |

Any of you'd be welcome on my little patch of sod. Bring a tent I got 5 acres here with a barn to park your bike in. There are many many, good two lanes roads to ride. The Black Hills is about 350 miles SW of me. If I got time I could ride along or if not; point my finger in the right direction [ch55357][ch56393]. The loop around lakes Traverse, Big Stone & La Qi Parle must be close to 170 miles or so; nice afternoons ride with a few hole in the wall places with food. |

That Virago I ended up with awhile back may be getting traded for a Yamaha XT600 soon if everything works out. I'm kinda stoked about getting my hands on a big XT. |

Title: Re: it just aint warming up yet . . . Post by Dave on 03/29/16 at 18:33:53 I just rode the ST1100 over to a parking lot halfway between my home and where the potential buyer lives.....I don't mind riding the bike to show it to potential buyers....it is a good reason to go on a ride! They made a commitment to buy it next Monday. I already miss it - the darn thing rode really nice, and was smooth as silk on the interstate at 75 mph. The wife has made the plans for our trip to pick up the NT700. We are taking our dog Lily and going to London, KY on Friday night, then on Saturday we will go get the bike and then go to Cumberland Falls and hike with the dog and stay in the Dupont Lodge - then maybe a bit more hiking on Sunday and return home. |

Just saw this. I'll be sure to give you a heads up. Saw a Savage bobber there Saturday that I remembered seeing on Craigslist. New owner was a great guy who should be popping up on here any day now. |
