What did you do to/with your other motorcycle/scooter/trike today?

[dduelin]

Did you go to Palatka Coffee Company?

No, went north to Brunswick then west to Blackshear before heading back south to home.

Temp got up to 70'F and wife wanted to go for a drive. I took her to a local ShoGun restaurant in Williston. This is what we took there:

Took a ride around the Ocala Nat'l Forest and St John River.

I sold the 1986 Elite 80 scooter I've had for 10 years and bought this 2021 Lance Cabo 125 scooter earlier this week. This morning I changed the lubricating fluids in the engine and transmission then replaced the brake fluid before a 30 mile ride. It was especially warm today at 72F in anticipation of sub 30F arctic air coming in on Monday. Lance is a brand manufactured in Taiwan by SYM.

Very nice! Those tires look like the Kenda K761s used on my Ruckus.

Was home in WI and went for a ride to the coffee shop just because. It was not as warm as Florida has been but good practice for next week.

Found the end of the road at The Gulf of Mexico

Where is that? Haven't you heard it's been changed to the Gulf of America? (grumble grumble!)
I will go back to Alaska to get another chance to see Denali as well...NOT Mt McKinley.

Rt 40 in Florida ends at a boat ramp into the Gulf of whatever. You could drive straight into the Gulf.

Yes you can. Been there many times. Blackwater grill is a nice restaurant. Great appetizers.

I thought about ordering new IRC GP-1 dual sport tires for my CT-125, the stock tires leave a lot to be desired... It's cold up here in WI so thinking about my bikes is about all I can do...

 

[davidc83]

Took the kawasaki klx 250sf out for about 1.5 hours. Riding asphalt and sand roads. Dumped it once in the yard, tight turn and front wheel washed out. No biggie, picked it up and kept riding.

I have neglected to ride my Honda CRF250L Rally much for the past year. Today I gave it some use, riding it about 75 miles. It’s beginning to lose it appeal to me. While the wind management, ergonomics, and suspension are great, the gasoline single cylinder’s noise and vibration make for a tiring ride. It’s a great motorcycle with the wrong engine. Nonetheless, today was fun, and a great way to enjoy the almost record breaking high temperature of around 65F. The lake I visit was mostly thawed, but that’s mainly due to the nuclear power plant.

Totally agree with you on your assessment of the CRF250L, however those big knobby tires would also contribute to the vibration and less smooth ride. Side note, not sure I'd want to be near a lake that's warmed by a nuclear power plant.

Yesterday’s sunset ride on the RT. Motor thrumming contently through seat, pegs, and grips, the temperature was perfect and the air was thick with scents. Pictures never do justice to the moment. Even Venus got in the shot taken over the shoulder.

Day 38 .... and the CB's first ride in this year. Never not ridden it more than 3 weeks before, but we've had the 5th snowiest winter on record this year, and bitter cold temps for much of it. Not exactly conducive to riding a naked bike. Like a Honda it started right up and ran great. Anyhow temp got up to 62 degrees and sunny for the 50-mile ride before clouding over for predicted rain this afternoon.

Spring is not far away.

The wife decided to ride with me today in the slingshot. We took the slingshot out for about 4 hours today. We rode over to cedar key. The dang camera corrupted the video file along dock street (most damage along the warf).

Day 52 ..... and the CB1100 needed some exercise (it's first this month). 51 miles @ 71 degrees and mostly sunny
