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.

Rainy today, but mostly just drizzly off/on.... taken from my driveway, looks like Mt Harris got a little bit of frosting near the top.... Still continuing my quest of riding EVERYday though....5 in a row so far...

Just needs a Zrex motor & it could be Most Bitchin'....

It's what's remaining of my right FOOT....my nose is nowhere near that big!

Don't give a sh*t about the Rule Nazi's pic regulations, If Bob's gonna post up the badass Vespa....then here's my contribution...just for the hell of it...
