I took my new-to-me BMW R1250GS for a pleasant two hour drive.

I did but on a bike with pedals. It was a very nice morning. Ended up making it a scenic ride of 3 hours getting in 26 miles.

Did both.

Yesterday, went down to Vidalia from the Augusta area on the motorbike (Africa Twin) to see the airshow. It was fantastic, and weather was great. A bit cloudy, which helped with temps and sunburn. No rain. Blue Angels did a stand-up job. I don't know why, but as I get older, that sort of thing puts a lump in my chest. (I am a veteran, Army though.)

Today, pulled out the road bike (Cannondale Synapse) for a ride on the local paved trail. Again, perfect weather (low 80s), and a great ride.

Wanted to do both but don’t do either because the wife has a concussion she got while doing an3 day Adventure class at BMW Riding academy so I spent all day taking care of her!

I didn’t ride any motos today but I did get in a trail ride in right before sunset. PERFECT weather for a ride in the woods.

Just finishing a week of riding GS’s based out of Young, Arizona. Had a great time and connected with some awesome veterans too.

I got in a small ride, too. Only about 70 miles on dirt and 50ish on pavement. Beautiful day for a ride!

Would've been a great day for it, but we were out of the house most of the day.
Would've been a tough call to get the top down in the Midget, rain threatened all day, but held off until around 5pm

Rode the R1200R to my friend's house for a cigar.
Took more time to suit up than the ride damn near.

The wife and I managed to get out on our bikes to go teach a Basic Rider Course class for the MSF yesterday. It was a nice, cool (54 degree) ride in and a wonderful 75 degree ride home. About an hour each way to/from the college we taught at mainly through the country.

Great motorcycle you have there!
Four of us rode down the length of WV into VA to Willville motorcycle campground off the Blue Ridge Parkway Friday. Today we rode back. Well three of us did because one of the KTM's fuel pump was acting up so he had to send for a trailer. That left the other KTM, a R1250GS, and I was on a Guzzi V85TT riding back today and what a beautiful day for a ride!

This was yesterday where we were staying. Bob's blue and white R1250GS, The KTM 1190 with the bad fuel pump, and my Guzzi back to the right.



No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.
