Stunning images, sun and snow, whats not to like.
Bike looks amazing (Road King?) and one I would love to own.
Just completed a two-day, 500-mile plus trip to North Carolina. The purpose was to tag along on the Appalachia Bourbon Palooza which is six-day road trip in British Cars visiting distilleries along the way. Not being A) a bourbon drinker and B) a glutton for punishment, I went along for Day 1 on my FJR which started in Tryon, NC and went to Blowing Rock, NC. I wish I could say it was a fun ride but way too much time was spent wrenching along the side of the road and directing traffic around parked British cars. To be fair, all the trouble was due to a single, unprepared TR8. I left the group at lunch and bombed it back down the mountain and to home. I was in a hurry the entire time so not a lot of pictures, but I was able to witness some of the devastation from Helene. It's amazing what nature can do...
The local Ducati, Triumph, Indian dealer had it's first bikes and breakfast event this morning from 9am to 11am. Going to be every Saturday morning ride in and get coffee and a fresh hot sausage, egg and cheese and talk bikes. Just glad the rain stopped early this morning and the roads were dry by the time I headed out.
Second Bikes and Breakfast at Cyclewise today. Know what I'll be doing on Saturday mornings for the riding season.

Rio Grande gorge bridge 600' above the Rio Grande River. The Sangre de Christo spur of the Rocky mountains in the back ground 15 miles away with the town of Taos sitting at the foot of them. My 2013 Softail Slim in the foreground. A favorite stopping place for me when I'm out for a ride.
First trouble free run of the 650D today.
That is a very pretty motorcycle. It’s just the way I like them.
Gotta say your bike looks F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S…….
Thank you sir! Will look better once I get the side panels fitted. Not keen on the 2 into 1 exhaust, but it's doing it's job and isn't at all anti social. The Kawasaki carburettors are working astonishingly well, I'm very happy with them.Gotta say your bike looks F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S…….

I could have had one like that but I chopped it. I still have a lot of parts from it like the tank and side covers.

Sorry for the delay! Haven’t been on in a while. They’re webco style bars from Front Street Cycles. They can be had in mild or stainless steel. I actually have them on both my bikes. This one in black and my sportster has stainless. I’ll attach just so you can see that option.

Old guys out wandering around aimlessly (on motorcycles).
Simple overnighter at Hartman Creek State Park with a detour through the driftless on the way home.

Looks like a very good time!
Oh yeah! Beautiful country, I’ve spent a lot of time around there! Nice photos, thanks!
This is starting to get bigger. A lot more bikes and some very cool cars yesterday. A guy showed up with an all original 1962 Vette that his father bought when it was new. Loved the pic of his Dad and Mom in front of the car while she was pregnant with him.
