How was your ride today?
06/04/12 at 18:31:31

I haven't seen this yet so I thought that maybe we could start this.
In this topic everyone can talk about their ride/rides/commutes for the day. Include:
- Destination
- Length
- Problems
- Or any random information

Include any pictures that you have from the trip.

I'll Start it off with today 6/4/12

Rode with one of my friends to a Restaurant/Bar/Gatorfarm place, it was an awesome ride on backroads all the way through started about a three hour round trip, played some cornhole over all good day.
Only problem I had was my battery died cause I made a stupid mistake and left the ignition on, but hey you learn from mistakes haha. Had to push start the bike and all was well.

Yeah, it's called the "bag toss" up North, either way it sounds dirty.
Rode around town today, mainly just to run some errands and get the bike inspected and re-registered. Turning onto my road on the way home I almost got run over by a lady in an SUV that wanted to turn from the inside lane right into the outside one. Had to perform some evasive maneuvers and gun it out of the turn, but everyone was okay. She stayed off my tail the rest of the way down the road Grin

, she looked pretty flustered after that though, maybe she'll pay more attention next time.

rode over to my mechanic's this morning to check on my daughters car. bad news all around there, but the ride was great, about 12 miles at 70 degrees and very low humidity with the sun shining. couldn't ask for it to be any nicer.

left there and into work........again.....destination bad. ride in good.

actually had no incidents with cages or teens......good morning all around.

looked at the speedo, i have 1200 miles in the saddle on her since i made the purchase on April 14.

I have been thinking of combining the cornhole gameboard.........with that plywood cutout of the lady bent over in the yard! But the name I came up with might be a little bit too aggressive (Pornhole).

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

There's a fella down the road from my camp that makes the boards and sells them. He always has some painted up in the yard... Football team logos, etc. And some unpainted, DIY. I'm getting all kinds of images in my head of what people might paint on them now! Cool

Have been a little under the weather this past week, but was able to hop on the FleaFlicker and do an 80 mile ride this morning before it got too hot. It was about 80 when I left the house at 9:00, and right at 100 when I pulled into the driveway a little after 12. (Lots of back roads, and a long stop for cold drink and butt rest about halfway.)

Hopefully, I will be able to get a longer ride in tomorrow, 160 miles or so, but I want to start a lot earlier, say 6:30. In Tucson in the summer, you ride early, or you suffer.

Very short ride today! I just got my 1996 Savage yesterday and can't get to the courthouse to transfer it until Thursday :'( . In the meantime I've switched the insurance from the Kawasaki KZ 440 LTD over to the Suzuki so no open roads for me right now! BUT.......since I live out in the boonies I can ride a couple of miles on the county road Grin

. I used that small ride to get the handlebars and mirrors adjusted and get a bit of the feel of the scoot Grin
