Wow, it does! Ha.

Took a ride on the Shadow today. Really windy, but warm out compared to the past few weeks. It hit 70 today. Not a bad ride, but met with two highway patrol checkpoints on the backroads. Fortunately, my papers were all in order. Video coming up soon. New mounting point, right by the headlight. It makes for some nice viewing, but a little boring.

Scrrrrraaaaapppeeee.....

Update: Video is up now.

Well, I thought I was gonna get a "tag" in the tag-o-rama, but the building I thought was a spaceship/multisport facility turned out to be a library. Oh well.

Ennyhoo, took the Geezer out for an exercise ride, my regular 52 miler to my Starbucks rendez vous: Santiago Canyon past Cook's Corner and down into the expensive seats in OC. Didn't really get a chance to really open 'er up, but I hit 70 on a slight decline on the way back. Freshened the tank and put at least a gallon through the carb.

Hi All,

It has rained every weekend since January, So I took leave and went for a ride today :neener:
Mt Nebo, Brisbane 28 km of twisties up & down the mountain.
It is usually packed on the weekend with bikes, but today I only saw 6 bikes & 2 cars for the whole ride.
I smiled the whole way :2tup:
I took some pics to show you how great the road was. ( Not "Dupo quality" pics, but you get the idea )

Cutting that curve a little close.

Just looks close to a North American. You have to remember not everyone rides/drives on the right side of the road. And it does look like a pleasant way to ride away the afternoon.

Took a nice little ride yesterday afternoon to pick up the tag in Tag-o-rama. It was an absolutely beautiful day, with the exception of the ugly browns and drab colors still hanging around. Temps were in the upper 60s and there was almost no wind. I was able to wear my mesh jacket which is always a pleasure. I took the Ninja out for a spin. I was going to ride the GZ since I changed the oil and de-winterized it, but I realized I forgot to tag it after I put it up for the winter... :whistle:

That's on the agenda tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple good rides on it on video before too long.

Cool video Patrick. Watching the instruments on the Ninjette proves it can really go when asked.
