Spring is near..... Any motorcycle riders?

[HoughMade]

No worries.. Have seen the new Yamaha's retro version of that?

I have. It's pretty...one too few cylinders, though.

I was able to get the honey-do's done so the wife and I took a short ride today. It was so nice with the sun shining and 70 degrees!!!

I didn't get to ride at all last season. Looking forward to taking her out once the weather cooperates on a long term basis.

I got out for an hour and a half today. Made it up to Weenie World in New Castle for a raspberry milkshake, then took some back roads home.

Tomorrow will be for polishing up for sale.

We should make plans to have a INGO bikers meet up somewhere this spring.

 

[UglyAmerican]

I don't ride when the roads have snow or ice on them. However, I've been riding practically every day otherwise for the past month or so. It's just a matter of layering up.

I wanted to get my bike out yesterday, but it is buried in the in laws garage behind bikes, patio umbrellas and other things. Plus by the time my wife and seven week old daughter got ready to do the things we needed to do, it was already in the afternoon. By the time we got home for dinner, it was dark.

Always wanted a bike, but never got one worked into the budget. 5 kids later, doubt that it will happen. Please post up pics and stories, vicarious living is better than nothing.

I rode around Fort Wayne for about 4 hours yesterday. Lots of bikes out.

 

[tmschuller]

I went to the boat show and the motorcycle expo yesterday.. But shopping for a atv.. Went home to ride but never made it... Sure was a lot of bikes out around Indy..

I dropped my bike off at one of the motorcycle places in town Tuesday and got the call today it was ready after new tires, brakes and other annual stuff. Picked it up right before work and rode to work, on my way home on my lunch break, I took a turn and thought, "that felt weird" and then another weird movement. I had been hearing some tire noise but thought it was new tire noise. At an intersection later on, I put the bike in neutral and looked at my tires. Rear was almost flat. Rode to a friends house, called another friend with a trailer and he is going to take it to the dealership that put the tires on. Hopefully they get it fixed before the ride I was going on.

Sucks after you put out good money and this happens. Hope they make it good for you.

I just got back from riding in Utah.

 

[tmschuller]

Yes. Bummer, but good thing that you found it before you went on your ride. I have rode about 900 miles since the thread started... have not been able too for the last week. Good luck on getting your ride fixed right.

 

[terrehautian]

Also, I don't know if I should be sad or not but got a honk from someone on a moped while broke down. Those things shouldn't be allowed on the road if you don't have a cycle license (or no license in general).

 

[tmschuller]

liquor sickles (cycles) are always so much fun, well the riders are. Yes I agree. Normally just are in the way and not paying attention. I do know a few people that ride them just because its fun and cheap for them... and they do have a license. Always a hoot when someone on a scooter talking on a cell phone with a parade of cars stuck behind them AND they wont get over.

Please be safe motorcycle riders! I had a group of riders racing their rice rockets around my truck this evening on US12 by the mills. Those guys almost caused a wreck!

Gave old '05 Concours a facelift. Here are the before and after pics:

Here's what she looked like last summer on the Dragon in NC:






And here's what she looks like now:





First little ride was to look at the collapsed bridge down in Paoli:
