'banjo's blogtastically stooopid day trippin' picture thread

Wow!
I thought hard about riding down to the cabin party but decided my rear tire wouldn't make it. Now I am even more sorry I didn't, should have changed tires.

Thanks guys....y'all need to ride down in May for the RDV

I'm still hoping to make it to CADVR next summer......has a date been posted yet?
I bid vacation in two weeks for all of next year.

I managed to 'collect' one of me in action from your gallery.




Thanks...that was a super fun day!

PM Bonebag and ask him, I haven't seen anything posted.

This thread is too photo heavy to look at at work and I don't always get on at home. Great series of shots the last couple of weeks.

I still need to get up there some day. :huh

I'll hold your beer....then you can hold mine. Maybe next May.

Are we going to keep up the tradition of the DL 650 camping area?

I took a bunch of pics of our bikes frozen and damn-it... they just disappeared off of my phone!

I'll be ready!

Will we all fit on that little point?

Kevin,
The Tiger hauls the groceries. I got a good deal on it and have really enjoyed it so far. I flew into Nashville and rode it back to Central Florida over the summer.

We need to get together and ride.

Sorry, forgot to turn the flash off, the camera didn't recharge till you was through the water. Didn't think to ask you if you wanted to try again.

Yes it was!

My wife's mom and sister are here visiting...wife wanted her sis to go for a ride with her. I decided to follow them around the block as they swapped back and forth between the two Hondas.









Turned out that I was the one that needed a baby sitter.



...the plug I put in out in Colorado pulled out....not a bad run.







They survived and I went out to see if there were any fall colors close by...

It's patchy around here with some tree bare and one next to it still green.






















It's all same road, different day....let's see if things have changed over by the park....



....still pretty green in this field....


















.....little bit of gold here in the woods....









more color here compared to last weekend....




I blurred my shot on Apple Rd.










...but the main road is looking more 'fall like'....









....as is the park itself.














The trick or treaters there had me a bit worried though so I didn't hang around.

Colors are still pretty bland around the pinnacle.......









A little better over by Lake #2...yes, I think that's it's official name!



















































I thought that I'd try this shot one more time before I rode over towards lake #1.

The beaver pond next to #1









I can lose track of time just hanging out down here......




































Tomorrow I meet up with some of my fellow 'old guys from work' to see what we can find a little bit further from home.

Seen THAT before

I can't believe that tire made it that far :huh

No kidding, eh?

I told the girls at lunch today that it was the 4th time I'd fixed that same puncture...that is if you count the the 3 times I 'fixed' it at your place as one.

It's closer to the wear bars on the other side so maybe this one will last until I need to change it anyway.

....but this is what the tire that's going back on next currently looks like.

custom studded tire????.....

Well.....I have heard that we're forecast to have a harsh winter.

HB has run 12K out of a plugged tire....
I use Ride-On..... Knock on wood in 185+K never had a flat Edit ...


Edit:
He had put 3 plugs in that tire before it held for that long....We had been 2000 miles from home..
Had to plug it.. But once it held .. All was good... and it was a rear tire...
Sometimes they just don't seat well... And where ya need the plug. Placement and location means a lot....

2 yrs later another trip, this one in AL.. once again flat tire on one of the other Valks...
That tire just never liked the plug..When got home and he had a boot put in it...

Plugs are funny....I've had them last the life of a tire as well.

....but today I had to plug that same hole two more times!!




....looks like smuggy is having some trouble again today....

About 2/3s of today's gallery is online now...and just maybe the rest will finish before the whole thing crashes!

So I'll get what I can in here while I can.

Headed towards South Mtn


















Sunny and cool...a beautiful Fall day.
