@endo Really cool. Any Indians or Vincents?

[endo]

Didn't see any Indian and might have overseen a Vincent. But it's a great collection. The one HD was given by JFK to the Archbishop of Cyprus.

@endo Very interesting info about the one Harley. I love old motorcycle collections/museums. There’s one in upstate NY that has at least one Indian from every year that they were made.

Almost 80 degrees November 1st in New Jersey, great riding weather

Went for a nice ride today with the wife which we haven’t done in a long time. We stopped for a beer and the weather was perfect. Days like today are the best

had my last track day of the year for 2024.

was on old tires from a previous session in June which I flipped. Sepang is a right heavy circuit so I reused the tyres and flipped it before getting a new one for the afternoon session (in which it rained and never got used 🥲) timings were pretty much consistent across 2:39-2:40 now regardless of whether I was pushing. they had a intro to track riding on the friday morning which some tape markers where still left on the track. those were pretty handy in tiding up lines.. didn't managed to clock a faster time probably due to older tyres. will see when I swap them to the new set next year..

body positioning for a flat bar is still unnatural as hell. sat on someone's Panigale in the pits and when you corner the movement is very natural as one hand rests over the tank and your helmet flows to your other hand for cornering. definitely very different on a sports bike while cornering. as the rain ruined the afternoon session, I didn't had a chance to look over all the lap times on the bike. will do it once I get it back in a few days.

Just home from a four day run around back country NSW.

It's cheaper than therapy.

[motojobobo]

@jimcasey nice choice of roads and scenery for your 4-day jaunt. Well done!

My 1991 R100 is back on the road after a 4 year hiatus. Most of the work done was cosmetic: paint, polish, clean and lube plastics and upholstery. She looks like she shed 20 years.

Figure an Irish pub is a good place to celebrate her new stage in life.
Strange knocking sounds coming from the clutch area once the clutch handle is depressed…noisier the higher the rpms. Yet to be investigated.

[Aetas]

She looks absolutely stunning @motojobobo

198 mile ride for breakfast

Cold af in Jersey, had to break out the full face and M-65 Field Jacket. Immediately purchased some black friday winter gloves when I got home 🥶

[Choko]

@Denimhead-0 yeah I was frozen today too. Riding though the mountains was pretty as hell but I couldn’t move my hands when we stopped haha

@Choko Thats a long ass breakfast ride, pretty jealous

[Choko]

@Denimhead-0 by the time we got there I was so hungry so it made the food taste better. My hands were tingling for a while though. You can’t beat Arizona riding!

[Jett129]

@Denimhead-0 Would you ever consider getting a windshield? I used to ride all winter long with the Motorcycle Polar Bears. A lot of the guys had heated gear,which they loved. I found that a scarf was a big help, and I always thought that the most important thing was to keep your chest warm. The school of thought was that if your chest was warm more blood would get to your extremities. Not sure if that’s true. Still no way I could’ve done it without a windshield.

@Jett129 I have one, I need to dig out of the basement. It’s going on soon.
