Title: So, who rode on Black Friday?
Post by: Son of Pappy on November 30, 2013, 05:47:30 PM

I did, 40ish miles of Tahuya Single Track ;D  Burnt some serious calories and had one heck of a good time with some great riding buddies ;D  Muscles are talking to me, telling me I need to do more of this kinda riding 8)

I did.  I went as far away from civilization that I could without running into the Chesapeake Bay.

Just a quick run around town. 20 miles at the most.
Planning on a week trip for work next week. Really watching the weather. Working over 200 miles from home, so I'll be staying the week. It gets hard to trust the forecast in December.

I did the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway...in a cage. Too much snow on the Skyway for a bike.
Did see a C10 just south of Lenoir City yesterday. If you have what looks like yellow JATO bottles on your bags, you are busted! And I'm jealous....

Went from LA to Vegas, the Hoover dam and Lake Mead and am now heading back- probably will do the Mohave desert route back to LA tomorrow. "Black Bear" is a 2 wheel high speed transport device. My biggest problem is constantly checking the speedo, as it loves to cruise at 90-100 on those roads to Vegas.
It's amazing how little "drama" there is compared to all my other bikes at speed, and you get mesmerized because it's so smooth and effortless to cover a lot of miles. I have a Laam seat- no doubt that makes a big difference too.

I did about 100 miles with my FJR buddies. Left the house at 6:30 and it was COLD. Down to 19 in spots. Really need to get full electric gear.

Put about fifty on the C10 here in the mountains.  It STILL looks like Winter is coming,
but it STILL is nice enough to ride most days.

I did an entire gas tank dedicated to practicing clutch wheelies.

About 100 miles...missed a deer crossing my path on the highway by 10 feet.  That's two this year, missed the 1st one by 3 feet or less.  Maybe it's the bike, I'm on a FJR now.  Never had close calls on the C14. :(
