Yesterday.

Cold and damp started getting to my camera I think, it didn't want to focus properly after a while.

Nice shots!

Whats that lower fairing from?

flyinlow · 03-15-2011, 01:35 PM

The lowers are made by a company in France called JVM. There have been a few distributors in North America selling them. I got these 3 or 4 years ago on fleabay from one of distributors that was going out of business. Really pleased with the quality and fit. Gives the strom a different look.

It was 50* and I was south of New River when the drizzle set in. With sails at full billow and runnin' like sh&t thru a tin horn, me 'n Lil' Red made for home. The road begin to get saturated about 10 miles out from the barn. I all but escaped the now monsoon. One bitchin' good ride today.

Fantastic slideshow and music to match. Thank you.

You are welcome good sir. Glad you enjoyed it.

As Jack Frost refused to relinquish his grip, I got a later than usual start this day. Headed north on WV 20 just across the Nicholas County line and then picked up Snow Hill Road. Brought back a memory of my last trip on a KLR in late winter…let me just say that this road came by its name honestly.

Me and Lil’ Red then worked our way through the mountains to Old Nicholas Road, stopping occasionally to snap pictures of scenic vistas, beautiful ridge top farms, livestock and antique tractors. I was hard on the binders to get stopped for a snapshot of a just dropped, still wobbly Black Angus calf when I looked ahead 50 yards down the road to their barn and there…well there…stood a HUMONGOUS Rottweiler, no doubt named Billy T Badazz. He was already in full attack pose, so I opted for full throttle 3^rd gear acceleration straight at him instead. He never even flinched. I swerved hard left at the last second to zip past him and luckily his play fell short. I swear I felt Lil’ Red give a sigh of relief! It is for certain, that’s one secure baby moo cow.

I’ll shut up now (yes, you can sigh in relief too) and let my video do the talkin’.

Hopefully this summer I can ride some of the Battleground/encampment sites that I haven't made yet.

Thank ye. And yep, sounds pretty timely given your book. I learn a great deal when researching the history before I pay a ride visit to a place of interest. WV and Appalachia as a whole has such a rich history. Wish I had more time to learn it.
