Post by: klaviator on May 29, 2020, 08:18:22 AM
I'm going to take a short ride tomorrow.  CR8, CR33, CR39 and 65.

Meet:  9:30
Place:  Mapco in Gurley

It looks like some great weather to go riding tomorrow.  If you aren't going on the ride for pie and want to hit some curves then come join me.

I guess another day for the grass to dry won't hurt. I'll be there!

I just mowed my lawn.  I'll be ready to ride.  Looks like three of us.  I also posted this on ADV.

Had a great time. Shot some video but mostly unwatchable from the bad pavement and cheap camera.

Thought of another bike for your girlfriend David. The Versys 300 would be a good starter.

That would be a good choice.  They had an almost new V300 at allsport last time I was there for $3995

Thanks everyone for coming.  We ended up with 6 bikes and 7 riders and it was pretty much perfect weather. 

I never take that many pics when I'm leading but I did get a few.

It was great getting out with everyone and riding.  Now that things are somewhat getting back to normal I plan on doing more rides.  I'm thinking maybe up into Tennessee next time.

Klav, the one picture you took cracks me up. Zoo animals on the one side and then another collection on the other side of the street!  :D

Frank you missed some good riding with a questionable crew! Haha hope you are doing well. I am wanting to get out and ride some dirt soon. My WR hasn't had a fresh coat of mud on it in awhile. Maybe I will post up a ride for this weekend.

Three screen grabs from Crow Mountain. The video wasn't worth watching between the quality of my NoPro, the road conditions, and my mount. Had a great time again! Thanks Win.

Well, they used to have one...  My wife is now the proud owner of that very bike!

Awesome!.  I know the guy who was the original owner.  He goes through a lot of bikes but he doesn't abuse them.

Pics are suh-weeT!
I'll do myself a favor, and pay more attention.
Tomorrow may be a possibility for me - I've requested more details on the appropriate thread.
Looks like a good time for sure.
