Where did you ride today?

[whynot]

I was seriously considering the V100...

Toughest part of the decision: which color? (For me, would be white.)

[whynot]

I started up my new to me Honda hawk 650 in my shed and nearly asphyxiated myself. That's kind of like a ride.

Picture? Of the bike, not asphyxiated you.

It would be the V100S Silver/green

[Stoneman]

Took the new v100 out for its first rain ride yesterday. I have to say this is going to be a nice relationship that I will have with the Moto Guzzi.

I'm looking forward to seeing your real world impression once you get some miles on that sumbitch!

They look and sound like the nicest Guzzi to date. Congrats!

No pics, but managed to squeeze in a couple hundred miles this weekend. Just some of the usual stops/spots, etc. Weather was fuckin' beautiful!

[Billy]

Clocked in a couple hundred myself over the weekend. The weather to me was picture perfect. My first season back on 2 wheels after a 5 year hiatus.

[whynot]

Put a couple hundred on the Guzzi Saturday, west on 119 into NH, then south on 32 into MA, 32A, connected to 122 ... and so on. Nice, to say the least. First ride after doing the first service, so I got to use more throttle and more revs. It was good. Also installed a Dart "Marlin" windscreen, does on nice job on a nekkid bike

I'm with ya on the weather!

I meant to ask if any of you mugs were at the Ossipee River boat launch in Effingham NH yesterday. A bunch of sport bikes were getting ready to leave when we stopped there. Probably around 12:30-1:00-ish...

[OreoGaborio]

Did two days at Thompson over the weekend.
Felt great to see everyone & get back out on the SV. Gorgeous weather.
Had two one-on-one students, one each day... they did awesome.

Sylwia even got out on her track bike (EX500). Might be the last time for her on that bike, though. Think we're gonna put it up for sale & get something different.


And today, once I'm done w/ work I'm gonna jump on the CRF and go do a few laps around Hodges Village Dam.

[OreoGaborio]

Hodges was good yesterday. Ground was HARD and pretty dusty in places, but otherwise a great day.

Riding along the service road I felt the rear wobbling around a bit.... found a whole bunch of loose spokes
Quick little trail-side adjustment got em snug again... but damn, I'm gonna have to keep an eye on those.

Sounds like you need some MARCHESINININIs

[OreoGaborio]

Ohhhh... Solid points for the obscure old school NESR reference!!!

FINALLY got to commute on the bike today. 45 degree when I left the house, 50 by the time I hit northern Hooksett (it always instantly warms up by Mt. St. Mary's), 60 by the time I pulled into the shop. I actually stopped in Hooksett to get rid of some layers. I WAY overdressed this morning.

Can't wait for the weekend. Although, knowing the bunch I'm riding with Saturday we'll just be hitting all the bad-ass biker bars all day. ONE. BIG. RIDICULOUS. LOOP. OF. HARLEY. COSPLAYER.

MRHCP.... Multi Rider Harley CosPlay

Not so much our crowd. But the Bentley's/Iron Tails/Willy's/Train's crowds are outrageous. It's like a cross of Harley cosplayers & Brett Michael colsplayers. Men AND women! And the women? Yeah, you'd hafta see it to get where I'm coming from...

And then we have what I call the "Crunchy Ones". Those are the ones with brand spanking new EVERYTHING from head-to-toe, inside & out. And EVERYTHING is naturally covered in Harley logos & patches, equally as new and barely used as everything else they're wearing and riding! And every move they make is accompanied by that crunching sound new leather makes...

[me109g4]

I finally got all the boots and carb holders back into the KZ1000, all parts came from Z1 Enterprises. Bike now runs like it should, quick trip around Rindge to make sure it was ok, almost hit a big ass snapping turtle in the road. A check of the fuse block showed the end caps on one fuse was loose, (they are glass with a filament inside) so i replaced them all. Should be good to go now.

anyone in the south shore MA? i have my Grom home and want to ride

[RandyO]

took my K-pipe out for the first time this year, been sitting since November, not on a battery tender, dim lights when I turned the key on, didn't even try the starter, kicked it over started 3rd kick, made a short loop, maybe 8-9 miles, upon return home, I plugged it in, maybe an hour, had to run an errand, started with the starter but only while I still hd it connected to the starter, at my destination, had to use the kick start again, but 1st kick and it's running. right now, my K-pipe is my only vehicle that is running and inspected, my AK needs a battery, mt Tacoma has a brand new battery today, and still won't turnover, Silverado runs great, but has an expired sticker and my mechanic is on vacation

Got dragged out on the loop again Saturday. Yeah, I fell for it. I managed to at least talk 'em into a few miles beforehand, so I did rack up a couple hundred more miles this weekend...

The 50 degrees on my thermometer talked me into riding in this morning. Beautiful ride in, weather wasn't bad...

My pre-work attitude adjustment spot...

[Jim]

just took the Grom out for an errand. I regret not having one since they came out in 2014

[Crconnor18]

Got the 890 a little dirty finally. Looking to venture into some
Portions of the Flatlander or similar in SW NH on it this next Monday for it’s maiden adventure-ish ride and not local mud puddles.

Just because it feels light when riding it’s still a 400# pig when stuck.
