I took a lovely ride out to Westcliffe, CO today. What a beautiful little town! The trip through the Wet Mountains on the way was amazing too.
Riding down to Walsenburg alongside the Sangre de Cristo Mountains was also great.
NateLesson learned, don't let yourself get too confident riding. I went down this morning. I was going over some railroad tracks that are kinda rough and on a diagonal to the street, and the front wheel followed the groove. Happened too fast to react.
Luckily I wasn't going fast, only about 30mph. And I was geared up like always. I'm sore but not injured. My helmet clearly shows that without it my head would have taken a good bounce off the pavement.
The bike has minor damage. I broke the clutch perch and bent the turn signals on that side, plus the crash bar and my saddle bags got pretty scuffed up. Rolled it into a parking lot and got a ride home. Luckily I happen to have a clutch perch from an adventure last spring. I had snapped the clutch cable, and clamped the end of it into the lever using voice grips. Unfortunately that damaged the lever, so I bought a universal fit replacement at the dealership where I linked the bike to in order to get a new clutch cable. I thought I had thrown it out, but luckily it was still sitting there in my toolbox. So later today after my wife comes home we'll go back and pick the bike up.
I was going to do a quick overnight into West Virginia on Monday and visit Blackwater Falls. Now I'm not so sure. I think it depends on how I'm feeling over the next couple days. Right now my left leg is throbbing and I just feel like laying down.
danaMy Vanson perforated leather Sports Rider jacket is in the hands of its new owner. Ride safe, Nicki. That jacket will last a lifetime.
Still have a couple of other pieces of that Vanson ensemble up on ebay.

MichaelRedesigned Mountain Passes detail views over the weekend. The main issue was way too much information crammed together. As a fix I reordered
sections, gave the vintage posters proper visual weight, and added better timeline context. They
actually make sense now. This is the last polishing step before
publishing it.
What do you think?

Chris Mr BrumwellTaken on the streets of Paris, this is a classic Ural motorcycle with a sidecar.
More specifically, it looks like a modern Ural model such as the Gear Up or Tourist.#Motorcycle #Motorcycling

Theo B.Just received the first 'Two Wheels on the Road' greeting of the season πβοΈ
Honestly made my day seeing another #Motorcyclist out.
Just remember to wear proper gear if you're heading out. Still rather poor road conditions in parts of Europe. We have a lot of strong winds as well here in Sweden.
Attached a picture of my Hanway Scrambler below for the sake of it.
This thread is about motorcycling, and about me, so y'all can ignore if it you like. Just reminiscing about some good times in the past:
I spent much of my free time in the late '80s and '90s on various BMW motorcycles, bopping around and camping in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, etc..

Oil and filter changed, trans and rear drive fluid levels checked, took her out for a run. Even enjoyed myself -- shit, I'd thought I'd forgotten how. Perhaps this could help reduce my anxiety. Gonna have to do that some more.
