Sounds just like the "Welfare Ho's " we have over here....

Reminds me....need to give our car a bath while the weather is still decent. A nice perk I get w/ the Equinox is that when I take it in for service, it always comes back freshly washed. Gotta do the Trash/Recycling detail today...then fix the Mrs. crock pot so we can enjoy some beef stew tonight.

Slurping down my last can of Irish Death while tonight's Spaghetti dinner digests.....another hour or so, 'Rita's w/ my Better Half are on the schedule.

On-Board w/ Doug Henry racing a 'Lectric 'Crosser....& winning on it. Pretty impressive knowing that his paralyzed legs & feet are strapped to the pegs ...so his cornering speeds are down from the others...but he sure makes up for it getting that beast to hook up outta the corners! Dude definitely knows how to Haul some Ass-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVL7HwD-9nw

Sounds vaguely familiar... only difference is there's NO van!...

Ace ride report @Pedro!! Timing looked to be the name of that game...

Nice pics Phil....definitely looks like that here with our 9deg F this morning....supposed to get colder tomorrow...

9F here this morning...just a tad bit crispy-cold... The percip levels are amazing low this year....Not complaining, but it could have a Serious effect on Fire season though...

Down right pisser about your car @Six30... After being home for a week now....it's about time I get the led outta my arse & fill my truck up w/ yard debris for a run to the dump...oh joy. Definitely getting a ride in today as well...before our temps drop into the teens F starting tomorrow.

Fortunately, he's a tough kid...built like his Dad. He's got a coupla broken ribs & a fractured collar bone. So grateful he's fixable. Looking forward to seeing him next week.

It's about 108 miles to Richland WA 1 way.... & it's 280+ miles to Portland from my place. The route I'll be taking to John Day is longer as it's through the center of OR...but MUCH more pleasant as it's on a 2-lane vs. that bloody Interstate.

That's the way it's been here this year....snows at night but melts off by the next afternoon. We had 5-6 inches of snow this time last year....only good thing is that it's cheaper to heat the house when the temps are in the 40'sF during the day....& hasn't got any lower than 23F at night.

I remember the Tralp & your Beemers...but always like the XR personally...

Gotta drive to Richland WA on Monday... to order a new threaded collar for my arm....hook is loose as a goose & about to fall out. Then I'll probably be traveling to Portland area on Tuesday to visit w/ some old friends, see my grandson who was just in a head-on collision on New Years day....& then help another old friend finally move outta Portland to John Day OR...so I'll be racking up around 1k miles by next Friday. Spending today putting away Christmas decorations & getting another Ride in...

Damn straight....during that 4 day ride, I didn't stay @ any hotel or motel either....just stuffed my sleeping bag in right behind the headlight..no need for a bunjie cord. Amazing how much weather it could keep off ya as well.

I too, had a coupla Honda's....'93 XR 80 w/ a mid 80's motor. It was originally a 9th birthday present to my oldest grandson...& was an absolute blast to ride in the snow. After many years of riding & fiddling, I completely rebuilt it...brand new top-end...cam, valves, springs, piston, rings...Barnett dirt-digger clutch...wrapped & sprayed exhaust w/ aftermarket alum can. He's now 27 y/o & came last Memorial day from NM to collect it along w/ my XT 600 Sumo. The other Honda I owned was an '83 VF 750 Sabre. The motor was quite smooth w/ a broad powerband...but doing carb work on it was a bit of a bitch...ONLY complaint I have of it. I did my longest ride on it back in 2011, when I rode down to Parker AZ & back in 98 hrs.....2500 miles in just over 4 days.

Same to you @Cupid Stunt....Keep those stunning pics comin' mate...

Can't say enough about @Buckster, @Pedro, & @boboneleg's effort to keep this place alive....Great job guys!! Pete woulda been proud! Myself, I'm about to approach a 3rd yr. anniversary w/ my wonderful wife....BEST 3 yrs' of my life!! You guys (@Six30) included....have been the banter I've been looking 4ward to everyday...the way Pete woulda wanted it. BIG Thanks to ALL of you for putting up w/ me & my disabled experiences in the 2-Wheel realm. DieHard 2-Wheeler till I die!! Plenty of Ride Reports scheduled for 2025...whether it be on 2-Wheels or 4...

Actually snowed last night....just a dusting...most of it melted off, but it stayed around freezing temps most of the day. I did get a ride in, though it was brutal on my left hand. Gotta dig out my neoprene fishing glove from the LH glove stash I have in the garage. Rode towards the north end of town to see if I get some better views.... Happiest of New Years to everyone!

Nice lid Eric...hard to go wrong w/ an Arai.

If Only.....I'd still be riding my SuMo...

Obviously, the TOTY is running this show....

I'd much rather have that than a flippin' GS!....Triples make such a cool exhaust note....especially w/ an aftermarket pipe.

Mild one for the Mrs. & I as well.... definitely will have to be comforter for my dog if any fireworks start up...she has gotten way more nervous as she's aged. Plus side is we've got 2 more bottles of good Tequila that were Christmas presents from my sister-in-law....so not all is lost.
