What's all this INactivity on the board of late?

Am I going to have to bore you all with another trip story? Sheesh! OK I won't but I did get out last weekend for a few hundred miles and will again this weekend as its supposed to be sunny and in the 70s even on hiway 1.

The 82 has a new front tire, new sprockets and chain, the cam chain adjuster dealybob on the front of the motor replaced so no more leaks and an oil and filter change. So, anyone else getting out for a ride? Winter's coming you know...at least somewhere its winter.

I was out for a ride (but in my company truck) and visiting customers. Was able to meet up with George (CBXtacy) in Cheyenne Wyoming.

Very little ride weather left here in Colorado/Wyoming

Getting ready to switch into winter project mode and getting back into the old CBX race bike restoration/build. I'm looking forward to it actually.

Waiting for the weather forcast, you see it's not accurate over here until you read it in the morning...OH! then stick your head out the window to confirm...

I'm here, I'm here. In Grand Island?, Nebraska. An island? In Nebraska? And it's Grand? I'll fill up the big truck and head to NC in the morning.

Last time I was up in that area (about 4-5 weeks ago), I saw a black early model X on I80. It didn't appear to have any striping/markings on the tank.

Nice to hear from friends

and Chris, you and others have my sympathy for having a 'riding season'. Its all about tradeoffs I guess. I always ride into the northwest once or twice a year but always during the summer months. I've thought about moving to NW Montana or northern Idaho but despite loving the solitude and beauty of the area, I realize that I'd have to haul my bike south during the winter months just to get in a good ride or I'd go nuts!

I was out of town almost the whole week without time to access a computer and play

Coming back to Ohio last night, I realize it is almost winter here with temperatures in the low fifties. We will probably get a few more single days of riding in over the next 4 weeks or so, but that will be it. I better start winterizing some of the bikes

and get the snowblower ready

So where did you go this weekend, Terry? I started out Saturday morning in Terrell, TX and ended up at home in Chula Vista, CA on Sunday evening. Really exciting. Was your weekend boring? Spent the day in the garage with your CBX and an electric drill, putting miles on it?

You got me George, only no drill and no garage...as you know, I called you from Yosemite Valley around midday Saturday. I called Mike B on my Lost Coast trip and he didn't mind at all. Hope my call made your trip across Texas a little more enjoyable. I sure had a good time. The pics should be ready Wednesday. Got a few good ones I think.

Sadly, the giant redwood grove is puny compared to the Avenue and they have all the giants (only a few) surrounded by fencing with stay out signs about 20' away. No fences on the Avenue and many many more old growth giants. The weather and the fall colors were nice and the traffic was nil. What a combination for a ride. The 82 had on a new front Pirelli Sport Demon, new head and neck bearings readjusted, new chain and sprockets and an oil and filter change so it was good to go. Averaged in the mid to high 30s riding sanely in the woods and 85 or so on the slab.

I do want you to ride the Prolink next time you're around George and tell me what you think of the rear suspension. I think its dying...?Years old ProSus unit.
Glad you made it home alright. Now, head out for a ride on two wheels!
