What is everyone up to - Spring 2011 Edition

(1/4) > >>

Beefmaster_Mark:
This forum has been mighty quiet!  What has everyone been up to lately?  Is anyone riding motorbikes any more?  Ha ha.

It seems like the only riding I've been doing lately has been pretty Long Beach - South Bay local.  Commuting about once every week and a half, and then weekend or evening rides around the PV peninsula or down to Huntington Beach.

In other news, I picked up a pair of Dainese boots.  They are awesome, but do have a different fit as compared with my Alpinestars.  Basically they are looser at the top unless you have leathers on or leather pants tucked in, at least.  They manage fine under jeans still.

Sweet boots!! Seriously, I love those things. I'm just chillin this weekend, and I've gone on the occasional solo ride here and there (went last Saturday to AFH). I need to get out there more.  :P

Nice boots! We actually just got back from a ride ;D As long as the weather is decent we've been riding on Sundays. We actually saw someone try to evade last week and wind up in cuffs in front of Nukes. That was the excitement for the ride

My big news is that I finally officially own the Bonneville. I signed the paperwork on Tuesday 5/24 and the guy at South Bay Triumph wants to sell me a big bore kit!

I did this...

Yes, there is actually a tiny picture on the last page.

That pretty much sums it all up. We need to get together for a ride soon...or dinner...or a ride and dinner :laugh:

Yes, there's a tiny picture of you on the bike, but where is the portrait shot??? :owned

Nothing new here. several drives in the Miata to San Diego County and other destinations. Bike riding has just been local occasional rides, eg Mt Baldy.

Ready for an SCLR ride anytime.

Ray, I'm not commenting on the boots since I know nothing about them ;D

JimT:
I've been riding as much as possible. I have Sunday Monday off now so a lot of Sunday rides.

I'm excited that we finally bought the Bonneville, its such a good bike plus it has like $4k worth of mods on it. The Monster got new Showa suspension, forks and shock, from an Ducati ST over the winter. I rode it today, it has totally transformed the bike!

SV 62K. The Aprilia has just over 5K now, I'm looking at getting some exhaust and maybe an Ohlins shock from a factory model for it.

So when is the "big" group ride going to be?
