Title: One less Brick in the stall :-(
Post by: jsb on October 01, 2015, 03:00:44 PM

*sigh*. The yellow K75S that has brought me smiles is gone. Kinda sad. The good news, though, is that The Mighty Gryphon is riding her up to her new home in New York. Hopefully he'll post a few updates of his adventures. Glad to see the K75S going to another 'Bricker.

JSB, Just got into Arcadia, LA after meandering about SW Arkansas, and NW Louisiana today.   Bike is running great and handled the back roads I was on pretty well. 

Tomorrow I'll be stopping at Duck Commander for some calls for friends.  Then it's off to Jackson, MS heading to Huntsville AL.  Once I got out of the showers north of Dallas the sun came out and temperatures were running around 70F.   Perfect riding weather!

I wish I was riding along, the weather is perfect. It's actually kind of chilly this morning, which you're gonna love. My garage looks too big now.

Good morning, jsb....you can always get another one! Odd how it becomes hard to part with machines. We form some kind of emotional attachment to them.

Jim, safe  riding out there. Windy and chilly up our way...might have rain on the weekend.

It's not all bad, there's still the '93 K75 in the stall and the 2000 Guzzi. :-)

Bike is at new home now.  Washed and waxed the paint work.  Making up the project list for this winter.  My wife likes the honey Jerry sent with the bike.

Ride was nice but was more of an endurance run since I had to be back to work.  1950 miles through 11 states in 3 1/2 days.  Did the triple nickel in Ohio on the last day.  Took a bunch of photos, but all of them came out grossly overexposed.  Probably was the reason I got the camera so cheap.   

Bike ran great, but won't be my touring ride as the windshield throws a lot of turbulence at my helmet.  My RT is much quieter.  I  think she'll be my Sunday morning bike for when I go out doing the twisties in the hills around here while the drunks are sleeping and the good folk are in church.

Glad you're back home safely. Sounds like a great ride. I'm glad your wife is enjoying the honey.

Think of the helmet buffeting as a great neck muscle workout.  :riding:

Your reasoning is faultless! My compliments  :clap:

Beats the heck out of my " One bike for street, one for dirt and a psuedotrials bike " reasoning for the bikes I own.

Personally I freely admit I to having  no " reasoning for the bikes I own." but I am in love with them nonetheless.I am also well known for giving pathetic excuses(to my wife) to justify this  :hehehe

+1

I recently offered "Guest-Bike" as a reason.  My wife says: "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard."  I said "...so far."

If all goes to plan, I will actually have my first brick next week.
