just thought you would get a kick out of these pics... i had loads of fun riding today... until my finger froze on the way home
close up of me, a little dark...
me and the bike...
i convinced a co-worker to borrow kate's jacket and helmet, he had never been on a bike before but had loads of fun.
when i hit the trottle hard, getting on the parkway, he yelled loud enough that i could hear him over the trottle through both helmets! had a blast, and he's ready to buy his own helmet now!

But... you would not ever, never, no how get me on one of those!!!
that's what andy said when scott bought it for me, but he kinda sorta got a "double dog dare" today... see, kate and i were picking at him and i told him kate could drive his truck back, and he could ride with me, and one of the women from work (we were at a baby shower, couples style) said "andy NEVER lets anyone drive HIS truck" after which, he promptly handed kate the keys
so, when i hit 70 on the parkway, he was grinning so hard i could see him in the mirrors!

it is almost too cold here. ski bibs, a ski jacket, and fleece lined boots, and my hands did ok until the sun went down. then they got really really cold. i'll have to put mittens over the gloves next time but i sure had fun!

Hey, what kind of bike is that?
Merme
it's a yamaha v-star 650. with added saddle bags and windshield. rides very smooth, not too loud (i didn't want a harley sounding bike, my ears are bad enough as it is) and i got it brand new with only 3 miles on it. it only had 1/2 mile when i got it, but they put 2 miles on it doing the safety inspections.
my only "problem" with it is that it is only a 5 speed, 1 down, 4 up. i really should be a 6 speed for the type cruising i do on it. oh well, i love it, what can i say!

You could take me around the block, but no way could I handle 70mph!
Looks like fun though! I've rode bikes with others a few times...

on the interstate tonight coming home, the wind was bad. i hit 80 and cruised, and for the first time, i really noticed the wind. it didn't help that the stretch of highway i was on is 3 lanes each way, and i was getting passed like i was standing still
so, tell keith, i'm with him on the wind thing.

I'd love to be able to hop on and go for a ride. What fun!

nope, you are spelling it right. i just had trouble with the wind blowing on the highway tonight, so that was what was on my mind.
mind does ok and i don't usually have the high revs except when 5th winds out on the highway
of course, i don't have a tach, so i have to go by sound

English language 101 some words are spelled the same .... even if they mean totally different things..

Love the pics, Jiffy- I don't do bikes, tho....got scared on one as a kid and haven't been on one since! They look like so much fun- I may have to re-think myself
welcome to the club,very nice bike and like you said it rides very smooth,congrats.keith still takes his every day,and sometimes here is about 2 or 1 c....but i think pretty soon he s gonna take his car.you want any advice or you think there s a machanic that trying to pass you a fast one(i mean scr.. you but can t really oiver here)well just ask me and keith will answer you, hes director and service manager or a bike shop so he knows all the tricks(don t really use them dough)and clients like him very much so if you ve got any problem with it,he could advise you.

Oh yeah, cool bike Jiffy! Thanks for sharing your pics. I've got several scooters and one mo-ped. All three are laid up and have been for years though. Used to really enjoy tooling around the neighborhood with my bikes. Those were the days.
