Who's riding and where?

[BigRed]

Got a ride to an area a while outside of Nashville. Absolutely beautiful day for a ride on a V Twin bike.

Imagine how much better it would have been on a Duke or 'busa.


Anyone going to Drifters, Yankees or similar area today?

 

[Coiled]

I started at 75F and the tires at spec 36 / 42 psi. Now an hour later and 95F they are 40 / 47 psi.

Yankees ... is this one of y'alls? I grinned as soon as I saw it.

After 15 Hawgs roared off, dude in the TA pulled out in the opposite direction all smooth n calm, almost like he was stricken with maturity or some other terminal disease.

Since 5/2020, I rolled 55K miles today.

Any of you folks tried an Indian Scout Bobber?

STFU Gordo, no one cares if you cry all day.

Yesterday was a nice ride along River Road Comal County then up into the Hill Country and back.
Lots of others out on the bikes.

TX has kinda killed my bike boner. Haven't ridden since like June well because it's been 100 plus and don't want to roast my chestnuts. It's nice and cool now but I dunno it kinda feels dead inside. Just looked at my bike and have to put air in the tires before I ride and couldn't even do that. Feels bad man. edit: Riding kinda is lame around here too, that doesn't help, in terms of scenery/roads. All just flat boring roads. I could do a bit off road though which I like.

What do you ride pdog? More than 1 in the stable?

I have only the K13GT now, would like to add an ADV or DS, maybe a badass supermoto. I want to ride wheelies again before I die. Lol

Shortly after my pic in #305, a naked & sport tourer looped through Drifters. As they left the ST wheelied for a bit, wish I could do that w/o bouncing my head on the ground.

That looks like my buddies car. What did that guy look like?

He lives near your part of the world.

Ducati Scrambler, only bike. I do like it, I can take it off road its a fun bike to ride for sure. I don't even know how to wheelie lol but apparently the scrambler is an easy bike to wheelie.

He's one ugly chick, man.

Medium build, <6' tall and short grey hair BUT, I didn't know I'd be tested days later and could be thinking of the wrong guy.

Too tall for my buddy.

Well, now I'm kicking around the idea of buying a newish / newer bike.

Looking at a couple. Indian Scout Bobber and a Triumph Bonneville Bobber. Any of you folks have much experience with either?

Passing on Harley Davidson. I've got a hardtail project that is taking forever to get wrapped up.... Can't justify a "new bike" while the "old bike" is still WIP.

Would need to be something other than HD.... because then I can say it's different than the project.

Went on a dual sport ride in the east Texas sticks. Just over 200 miles today, mostly dirt and gravel. Damn that was fun! I was the anchor of the group with only a two fiddy, so I’m on the hunt now for something a little more substantial

I prefer the look of the Triumph. I've never ridden the bobber. I do like the 1200 motor. I currently have a T120. Had a Thruxton for a while. I prefer the riding position of the Bonnie but prefer the throttle response of the Thruxton.

I should go out and do a test ride. There is a Triumph dealer in the area.

Leaning more towards the Indian at the moment.

Trying to exercise restraint and discipline and stay away from either.... It's getting a bit tough though... Winter comes along and you can start finding some decent deals on used bikes.
