      Went for a ride this morning. It’s a beautiful day here in NorCal and the weather was perfect in the AM.

        Shit happened last sunday. Blew out rear tire at around 100km/h. Lucky to be in one piece, I was able to keep the bike upright and luckily there wasn't incoming traffic just at that time. Took me several hundred meters to tame the bike which was swerving from lane to lane...

          Wow, good that you survived the accident. And in any case, a cool bike. Is that an official license plate?

            Yes, old original finnish plate to this bike from early 50's. Bike is from 1925...with few upgrades

                    I think my Stator died. Jumped it the night before and died twice on the way to the shop. Out of commission for a bit 😭

                      Went and tested some bikes today, went in thinking I might buy a 10 year old Street Glide or Heritage, and now think I might be in love with a Fat Bob...Now trying to see if I can stretch the budget, sigh. Any of you ever had one?

                          I rode out to Tomales this morning to meet up with the Club, then we rode rode up to Guerneville for lunch. After lunch, most of the club headed north through Cazadero. I decided to solo home. I was a bit warm in my leathers. So I headed west to Jenner and followed the coast and cooling fog south for as long as I could before finally heading east and back home. It was a sweet ride.

                                That was a quick fix @Denimhead-0 . What went wrong with the stator?

                                The journey is the objective.

                                  @motojobobo Needed a new Voltage regulator and replaced battery. Better then the Stator 🙂

                                    Just out for a ride on my Honda DAX (if you know, you know).

                                    Can I just get something off my chest.. whenever I’m on this little beauty other bikers hardly acknowledge or give the nod when passing. What’s the deal with that? It’s almost as bad as a Harley rider revving his engine at a red light. I find the worst are the GS riders for some reason? Do me a favour, if you’re one of these people, get off your high horse man. I’ve had a wide selection of bikes and this is by far the most fun on two wheels. I’m not a beginner rider and my other ride is a Kawasaki H2 SX (300km/hr) but guess what.. when I’m on that I still let on to any other riders.

                                    Rant over! Ride safe and cheers!71B7A4A8-D57E-4B15-8A64-96A1848B8F34.jpeg

                                        @Oilfieldtrash In Canada there is a version of that bike called the Monkey...I have looked at them numerous times. If I lived in a more urban area ownership would be a no brainer.
