April Fool's Day

[Bob Denman]

...Just seemed like appropriate day for me to FINALLY start piling up some miles on "BonTemps"! :yes:hyea::yes:
I broke it out this morning, and it really feels... :shocked:
Different!
But in a good way! :thumbup:

Enjoy the ride. Getting ready to head out to Kitty Hawk with some of the Brotherhood.

Glad you guys are finally getting the warmer weather. Its got to be at least what, 35 today? We are going to see about 85 today. If you could, please take some of our wind your way. But hey the wind blows at least 70 MPH when you go down the highway anyway.

 

[Bob Denman]

Tom,

85 in Texas??? :shocked:
We might get to 55 today...

 

[Jim&Teresa]

Snowing here -- no April fool's joke! ugh.....

Snowing again in the lovely state of MinneSNOWta......got a couple rydes in earlier when it was nice for a whole 2 days....now back to winter.

...Just got back from a 40 mile hop! :thumbup:
(Hey; it needed some fuel... )
The steering seems much quicker; and the lower profile front tires do give more feel of the road.
The speakers sound MUCH better than the previous offerings.
Sixth gear at 40 mph?? NO PROBLEM!! :2thumbs:
It does take off quicker through the gears; you can't shift fast enough; to shift much below 2800 rpm! :clap:
Now I've just got to go brush my teeth, and get some lunch!

:agree: I tried speed shifting (best description I can think of) where I twisted the throttle, and boom, boom, boom hit the shift peddle. Made it to sixth with no lugging or other issues. In fact, the SE6 seemed to like it.

You folks are killing me. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: I am still watching my driveway melt one foot at a time--about 25 ft more of ice to go :yes::yes::yes:

I so want to go for a ryde. :dontknow::dontknow:

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Can you "walk" the bike out over that 25 foot span of misery?:dontknow:

:shocked: Can you "walk" the bike out over that 25 foot span of misery?:dontknow:

Unfortunately, not with my crippled back. Last year, when it got down to about 10 ft., I bought and spread a bag of sand. That looks like what will be happening again this spring. My road to the main road (2.5 blocks) is still 50% ice covered also. The "patience grasshopper" theme keeps ringing in my head. :yes::yes:

 

[Bob Denman]

Head down to the local Military Surplus store...

:roflblack:

 

[rnet]

Bob, Randy and I where out riding around and the only cognac we saw was at the dealers.

 

[Bob Denman]

I rode down in Ellenville to fuel the Beastie up... (And pick up some McLunch...)
It took a LOT more fuel than Fawkes ever did! :shocked:
I stuffed 4.89 gallons down it's throat!
But at least now it's full, and I can start playing with my economy riding style...

 

[Deanna777]

The temp is 39 degrees now, but ......................................................................................We had sun all day. It will be awhile before I can get my spyder of Winter Storage. We still have a lot of snow :yikes: :yikes::gaah::gaah: I am jealous of you people who can go riding Like you bob, Randy. This week it is supposed to be in the 40's and rain WoHOO.:yes::2excited::yes: hyeaeanna777
