The new ones are really nice! You won't regret it.

I've wanted an adventure bike for a while. I've ridden many gravel roads on the Goldwings, Connie, dirt bikes, and sport bikes. I came across a leftover 23 Husky, so I finally pulled the trigger:

If you're going to do something, you should strive to be the best!

SR16 through WV, Burkes Garden, Marion VA, Smokies, Franklin NC, Blood Mountain, and anywhere else that my daughter can think of. We will be watching the weather and adjusting accordingly.

My daughter and I will be riding around down south during the last week of March. We're leaving on the morning of 3/26. We need to be back on Saturday night (3/30). Let me know if you want to meet up. We'll be 2 up on a Goldwing.

Thanks Jim! My fuel pump is good to go!

Added turn signals, horn, and brake lights to the TE300, to make it street legal. Sent the new Goldwing seat to Russell Cycle products for the Day Long modification. Hopefully, it will be back in time for a trip to Smokies at the end of March.

Thanks Jim!

Long weekend or week-long trip?

How fast do you guys run on the dirt bikes? I've got a street legal kit on order for my TE300, but I don't like running much more than 50mph on my current gummy knobbies.

I can see riding the new Wing solo. It is definitely a lot sportier than the old one. I still have my Connie, so I can still ride at a decent sport bike pace when I'm in the mood. I'd definitely check out those 2023s that Tonik mentioned.

I'm getting older. These new Wings are great, and they are significantly more sporty than the older Wings. One of my daughters and I were riding it in the rain up to Coshocton for lunch on Tuesday. Thank God it was dry on the way home, so we could try out sport mode. Her quote: "this bike is going to be so much fun in the mountains. I can't wait!". I have found my long term replacement for the Connie.

DCT. I must be getting old. I never thought that I would like it, but a test ride convinced me otherwise.

Getting stuff set up on a new Old Wing. I'm going to love this bike!

The photo was my KTM that I sold, and it was a 4 stroke. I'm waiting on the dealer to get my 2 stroke Husky. It should delivered in the next couple of weeks.

Sold the KTM and put a deposit down on the new Husky two smoker. I very rarely rode it on the street. Maybe when the Connie hits 100k, I'll pick up a new Wing and an adventure bike.

Speed safely!

Welcome back!

If you have a passenger, it helps keep the rear end down. 😁

If it makes you feel better, you can work on my bikes. I like other people working on my bikes. 😄

We got all of the dirt bikes ready for dirt bike season. Afterwards my assistant watched the women's national championship game. 20230402_172307.heic 20230402_170920.heic

People like this make it so that honest contractors rarely have a problem getting work. Construction is crazy right now!

If you want to go with gravel, use some filter fabric and 304 aggregate for your base coarse. You can top it with 57s, so you don't track the 304 onto your driveway when it's wet. 304 aggregate is what we use for roadway bases, and it tightens up well.

My daughters and I ride Wayne (and Perry).

I had a 100k mile service performed on my Ridgeline earlier this year. Thanks for confirming that I should pay someone else to do it. I don't have the time, patience, or skill to perform it myself.
