FINALLY!!!
« on: January 29, 2013, 01:27:03 PM »
HOORAAY!!!  FINALLY!!  The snow and ice are GONE!!!  Its been two weeks since I've been able to ride here in Northern VA!!  Ok  I spent a week in Quebec City...but still!!  This morning was drizzly but a balmy 40 degrees F!!
Gorgus oranges and reds from the sunrise to the east and a fantastic moon coming through the clouds to the west.....Mumford and sons on playing in the helmet....screaming like a 12 year old girl at a Menudo concert!!!

Now the sun is out, its in the 60's and school is almost over....I live 15 minutes away but it just might take 2 hours to get home.  SWEEEET

I just LOVE this motorcycle!

I got out for a short ride today, too. It has been to darn cold.

You know, when I was shopping for a motorcycle, I wanted either a boxer or a brick, but the more I ride this thing, the less I want a boxer.

I was also in limbo between the boxer and brick when motorcycle shopping. A 1988 R80RT and a 1986 K75. Both on Craigslist and both within an hour of my house. Went with the K only because it had fuel injection and I've never looked back  :2thumbup:

That's funny! I wanted a R80 and found one about a hour drive west from my home in Santa Rosa, California  The brick I bought was about an hour and half drive east. I was looking for a silver 1995 Standard with a low seat, 3 spoke wheels and factory cases. Fuel injection and better brakes were the factors that made me buy the brick over the boxer.

Im picking up a "new" '93 K1100 LT in late March!  SOO cant wait for the drive back.  Bike is in Grand Rapids, MI and I'll be going out over my spring break.  I'll have 4 days to make the 650 miles back to VA.  Thinking about swinging down Through TN and the back north to the DC region.

This will bring my brick stable to 2.  I'll be looking out for a good deal on a K75s later this summer.
