THough I am not yet a fellow brick rider, I soon hope to be! Anyone else thing motorcycling evokes the feeling/spirit of downhill skiing (fast downhill skiing to be sure 8) ). Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Definitely a similar vibe to downhill skiing.

Welcome from NH
I live next to a ski area, but don't ski.

Which area? I worked at Loon for a number of years, and I used to race all over the region (high school, lets not get any high-falluten ideas here). I grew up in the Whites. Now I'm in SW NH, down by Jaffrey. Awesome place to raise my kids. Aah but the Whites, what an awesome place to ride ...

Nice country. In a previous life I lived in Henniker, Keene, Bennington and Moultonborough. Good times,,,,,,,,

Cheers

I'm on Crotched mountain.

The deed is done, I am now a proud owner of a 1987 K75C with 39K on it. Should be driving it by next week, then we'll see what niggling things I missed in my inspection (hey, no one is perfect). I'll post a pic or two shortly. Christmas came early!

Cool!

Congrats. Can't wait to see pics.

Just this summer went by Loon for the first time on my F650GS, which I no longer own sold it to by my K1100LT. My plan is to head up that Way with it before snow flies. Love the white mountains the roads are smooth and the views are great.

Greenmtrider, I take it you're in VT 8) Lincoln/Loon is a cool place, though I prefer mid-week skiing to the press of people on the weekends. I have a very strong desire to ride the Kanc into Conway on the bike. I driven, cycled, and hiked that area, but never on a moto. If you're ever down in the Monadnock Region shoot me a message.

I see you own the Eliminator 250. Much cooler than the Ninja.

Unless you're 6'3", then it just hurts more :-[ It was great to get 're-acquainted' with motorcycles, but not so great on the 50 mile one way commute. The K on the other hand ...

Now I'm looking to sell the Eliminator, I still need to post a pic here (of both bikes).

ibexonabike · « **Reply #14 on:** September 28, 2011, 11:17:55 AM »

Posted a pic of my K75 in the K-pic thread, but here's my Kawa EL250 and one of my sons rides ;D

Well it has been a while since i last checked into motorbrick. The snow is falling the LT is put to bed and i never made back to NH. Very disappointed in my self but again there always next season. I enjoy winter because I get to learn about the bikes mechanics and what it may need before spring. Am looking forward into meeting other brick riders.

ibexonabike · « **Reply #16 on:** February 02, 2012, 10:39:58 AM »

Yeah, the snow flew in October (Halloween) and I put the bike away. And have kicked myself several, several times since then. They're were at least 2 weeks worth more days to ride after that 36" of snow melted. Ah well, we've had a busy winter anyway, and I'll patiently wait for the two wheeled freedom of spring.

Peace.

Spring is just around the corner....

greenmtrider · « **Reply #18 on:** February 07, 2012, 06:51:39 AM »

Yup spring is just around the corner and can't wait. Just came back from holiday in went where it was nice and worm. Got to see alot of bikes on the road jelousy sat in. Now that it is back to the grind time to sit down and start a list of to do's before spring. I feel like a kid waiting for christmas but the difference is I walk by my present every day. So ibexonabike we both have kicked our selfs in the ass we have has very little snow and still have very little, could have gotton the K out a couple of more times but didn't :dunno2:.

Seriously, my buddy at work was driving his Honda dual-sport thumper for weeks after me with plenty of over the cube-wall needling thrown in for good measure. I'm doing the same as you, getting my prep list together and using the 'I'll save x-money in gas this season, I can buy that toy' argument to justify some comfort expenditures (better pants, better hand protection). Very very much like waiting for Christmas morning as a kid, can't wait to ride.

greenmtrider · « **Reply #20 on:** February 13, 2012, 03:42:09 PM »

Agree new helmet came last week, trying to figure out witch pants to buy. Going to sit down this week with repair manual and look over the fluid situation. Thought about changing out the stereo and speakers then I thought why hother ear buds and MP3 play seems to allways be on. Am also going to look into a Bluetooth head set for phone and GPS.

ibexonabike · « **Reply #21 on:** February 13, 2012, 08:07:57 PM »

I think AGV Sport Telluride H2O's are my choice. A little more research, but I'm pretty well sold on them. That and I think I have my hand guards sorted out. Closer and closer the twisted throttle comes!

If your going to BT leave the OEM audio alone.

THE BT works extremely well even at a speed up to 90 mph.

Only negative, the Iphone pad/touch screen is damn difficult to manipulate wearing heavier gloves. However, the BT voice recognition functions 90& of the time with ease.

Double pairing is another concern but that's a different thread for discussion.

I agree, what if any BT are you useing?. For the ipod family useing gloves, thats where a remote comes in handy.

Scott_ · « **Reply #24 on:** February 14, 2012, 08:20:49 PM »

For me what works good with my Ipod and BT is having play lists long enough that they play from fuel stop to fuel stop so I don't have to mess with it unless I already have my gloves off fueling up........ :2thumbup:
