I live in roseville now 11 and gratiot, one of the houses I grew up in as a kid was Clinton township on 15 mile between gratiot and Harper
It was a nice day today for a ride, so I rustled up my riding buddies and we went to Little River.
Stopped in at the Wheatsheaf pub and I shot a short vid in the bar area so you all can see hospitality 'Kiwi Style' lol.

Here's a link to the ride yesterday, not edited, just a raw vid from my goPro Hero 4, sorry about the wind noise but when the speeds are down abit and we are gassing it to pass a car the exhaust note is audible . . .
Ride? No PIE???
Huh?????
You're in Houston . . . ' aaaahh . . we got a problem',
for one thing, it's yesterday??? WTH??
also, why is it 76F in the middle of your winter?
That's what it is here, and it's our summer . . .
it's also 10am Sunday morning and a gorgeous day for a ride on my Busa!

I got a quick 56 miles in today before going over to my buddy’s to watch college football. Temp was mid 60s and lots of bikes were out today. No wildlife today had to reroute due to a pretty bad accident with two cars on a backroad. It amazes me how many cars almost pull out prior to seeing the bike then stop. I’m always looking and expecting that they don’t see me and plan and adjust speeds accordingly. Prob my last ride until I get back from vacation. (Unless I can sneak one tomorrow morning my next ride likely will be in 2020). Only pic I took was of the new fuel cap you can see how it ties in with the gold on the graphics.
76 and summer huh......damn. our summers are 100 and f my couch LOL
I went for another blast today . . and I was the one 'blasted', wind blasted!
We went to Methven, a small town at the foot of the mountains, and there was a hot rod/classic car show on there . .
On the way there the winds were gusting strong, side winds of around 50mph, and head winds also. It was tough holding a straight line.
Sunny and warm otherwise.
Took a few pics of some lovely old Nortons and an Indian . .
Below, Ray Coleman's super charged custom 900cc Norton Commando,
Early GSXR front end, 17" 3 spoke Suzuki wheels, custom cut 'wave' rotors (he cut them by hand), I'm unsure what the blower is from, forgot to ask.
He says it's an animal to ride and idles at 2500rpm, virtually unrideable when you open the throttle, he seldom rides it but takes it to shows and always wins prizes!
Below is a Commando owned by the 2nd owner for 42 years.
Fully restored, and has an aftermarket starter motor fitted to it.
Below is Paddy Snowden's custom built Indian Flat Tracker.
He bought it on Ebay from the US, Iowa reg plate/tag fitted, the chassis is beautifully crafted by the builder he bought it from, 1200cc engine.
Very cool machine.

That’s for sure!
When I think back to pre internet/cell phone days, to take pics on my old 1980 Asahi Pentax SLR was an art, paying to have films and pics processed, and only being able to show them to local friends . . Now I just quickly snap off a few pics with my apple iPhone and voila! Next thing you know people on the other side of the planet are looking at them and enjoying the display.
Amazing how far the technology has taken us and how connecting it is, creating new communities across the globe.
Never ceases to amaze me

Finally went for a decent ride today to test all the latest mods and can definitely say every single one was worth it, rode with 3 close friends which is rare as I never ride with anyone.
It was fun playing cat and mouse with another Bus running almost similar mods, can’t help but say most used to live in my closet as spares but thankfully they’re being put to good use.
@ROADTOAD1340 The Ohlins forks may look familiar.
430kms in total and still have over 1/4 of fuel left.

I unfortunately haven’t ridden the LE much this year, 6000kms in total instead of averaging 25,000kms +.
