178 miler this afternoon on the K to explore where a "new to me" forestry gateway exists for a future saga on the GS.

Still some leftover snow on the northern exposures, forced to switch on the electrics in the shaded sections.

Bridge detour led me on a lovely farm road. Out of way but zero traffic to deal with.

I wonder if it would be too much to ask if people could resize images a little before uploading them? Takes ages for them to load at 3072x2048 resized to 1200x800 :-)

AGREED.  If you take the above picture, trim it's width to 800 and save it at 85% JPEG quality then it loads 28 times faster.

Hey DRxBMW,
From what Mickey and Mini are saying there should be sled rails on that "K".   What we hear down here is that your area has been reclaimed by the Polar Bears. It has turned cold here also, temps in the upper 50s and low 60s, hee, hee.   Mickey said there is plenty of room for more bikes at his place and we can always make room for one or two more.

Rare for Billtown to get hammered with the white stuff this early.

24/7/365 rider, nothing really stops me other than sub zero cold, heavy snow or ice.

Thank God, help is available in the "freezing your ass off" department these days. New Gerbing heated gear ROCKS err cooks is a better description.

Pulled in at the Northern Tier Hardley Ablesome dealership to take a whiz yesterday. Salesman was amazed I was only wearing a T shirt being so frigid.

Combo of the Gerbing heated liner and Motoport jacket for thermal comfort is simply amazing. I ran the controller at # 6 setting initially, had to bump it down to #3, read damn HOT !

Only downfall is that pesky wired connection point. I forget about being tethered or get the damn thing tangled on the shift lever sometimes. FWIW, the GS has a power port mounted underneath the left tank frame rail. Far superior to plugging in above the K coil cover.

now swapped for a 800 x 1200 GIF  better ?

dunno, every photo loads FAST on my machine, even on the lame laptop in the Stable of Steeds.
