Today was a great day for riding. Lots of two wheeled vehicles out there. Rode to the Village of Grosse Point to have coffee with our coffee buddies. Motorcyclist kind enough to leave room for us to park. Before everyone showed up. My 87 year old Mom said that we looked like we were ready to go to Mars

October is a great time for riding. We have gone for multiple long rides so far this October. The leaves down here in Georgia haven't reached their prettiest yet, so we go to the mountains as often as we can in the hope that we will catch them at their most colorful. We will take tomorrow off to get things done, but we will be back up there soon. I love autumn!

Leaves are dropping here. Won't be long all the trees will be bare. Do love all seasons that allow for riding. This is our first year with the scoots and we'll see how late into the year we ride. Kind of exciting and sad in a way because we'll get interrupted by winter.

Oh gosh, I read end of October and my throat tightened up. Really? Already? Leaves are lying everywhere with more to come. Good to see you two getting all yer rides in and that coffee looks like a good nuff reason to roll. Hey! I even get to see your helmet up close Steph. Sheeny Hi-viz and in gear Lots of hi-viz, Excellent!

Those are excellent helmets... 77 degrees today LETS RIDE!!!!

Coffee through a straw? Never seen that before, I must get out more.

Homie, I love the image in the signature of your post. Where did you get it?

I doddle when you guys are slow, easy to make, you have the paint program too... nothing fancy.

BTW I ordered your tire set today in effort to have a bike that looks as good as yours someday. Plus there simply is no Michelin front 90/90-14 available anywhere in the USA and none of the websites that had them have responded with future availability dates.

I will be squeezing in the oversized 120/70 & 140/70-14's then make my same bench run to see what I lost.

don't forget to use a GPS... your top speed should be raised 4 mph, and you will GAIN smoothness and greatness

@homie - didn't see the little dude on the motorcycle at first.

Today was such a nice day and I had to work. Should have played hookie. I get home after work and it starts raining. It's all down hill now regarding warm weather for sure. Now time to experiment with cold weather gear to see how cold I can ride.

Oh I did, I rode all day and Shay Whitey was pulling like the little engine that could I did notice that since she hadn't been stated for a few days it took a couple attempts... hadn't seen that before. You and John have hi-viz that seems more wind screen than screen door like mine.

I hope Halloween is like today, warm, overcast, windy with the leaves shifting and swirling over the road like desert sand.... SPOOKY! Brings back fond memories of brown paper bags & CANDY It's 8pm and it's STILL nice out there... LETS RIDE!!!!!!!!!!

Ok DS and I plan on attempting your posted tire changing method because I cant have some grease monkey messing up my powdercoat job putting on the new Mich'es. btw there is a valve adjustment tool featured in the Honda SM and it has a part#, do I really need this tiny wrench or can I use something else? This is gallery soooo yes, no, maybe, keep it short I already hi-jacked a picture and veered off Steph's topic... and I think she could beat me up

thanks
Homie

.............. dup post sorry

John and I are wearing rain jackets over our armored riding jackets. Makes for excellent wind breakers. I don't think Halloween is going to be very warm for us here in lower Michigan. I think it's the end! One thing I can say is I really had a blast riding my scooter during spring, summer and fall. Put over 2400 miles on it.

homie, put some cloth over those legs. Thems are far too skinny man!

There was snow in the air here last week and even though it will be 70F today, it will snow and stick over night next Saturday.

Gotta love living in New York. Heard it's going to be a snowy winter...again. Sigh.

High for the weekend will be low 40s might have to try my new thermo riding pants. Will have to wear my dickie and balaclava. If we get a winter like the last one I won't see the streets in my neighborhood until the spring.
