We got torrential, like biblical rain last night, enough that I’m pretty confident there isn’t any salt on the ground and I feel fine starting to ride the Goldwing any time its warm enough that there isn’t ice on the ground. Midwestern Springtime is weird

After many years of wanting one, I finally realized my childhood dream and bought myself a Honda bike. I don't care that I'm drat near 40 this isn't a midlife crisis THIS ISN'T A MIDLIFE CRISIS.

It'd be a crisis if that were a fireblade, as it is your only crisis will be meeting too many of the nicest people.

 The one in the middle is mine. Went and cleaned it and had a mini ride this weekend to make sure all was good and ready for the warmer weather coming in proper. Had a blast getting out and not having to blast myself in a warm shower to function after

The weather was above zero for the first time in a while. Those dirty brown lumps in the background are ice volcanos on lake Huron.

 Yo let me get just like, one 3090ti. Pleasantly surprised by how much of this winter has afforded opportunities to ride without having to plug my pants in, but it seems like for every 10 days of bitter cold and snow, there's maybe 1 day of tolerable riding. I had to pack it in kinda quick the other day because I was getting sprayed with salt water as everything melted. Massachusetts sucks from like, January to late April.

excellent bike also lol I lucked out getting my 3080. I bought a 2070 from EVGA like 1yr ago or something and signed up for their step up program on a lark. no way I’d have been able to get one any other way

I stood in line in the cold from 5AM-10AM three days in a row to finally get a card (ended up with a 3090), and that would now be a good buying experience because I only had to pay MSRP

MetaJew posted:What's an ice volcano? So on the great lakes which are basically freshwater seas you can get some pretty heavy wave action. These lakes rarely freeze over but usually the shore has ice. The waves coming off the lake hit that ice and build pressure under the ice sheet that forces water up through any cracks. Over time that ice cold water and slush builds up and you end up with a cone like a volcano. And if it is wavy it looks like it is erupting. Side note they are loving dangerous because if you fall in good luck getting out.

Took the hawk to stock up on amazing bagels. If i didn't have the top box I'd have had to take the car. Instead I got a really wonderful ride on a beautiful (for this awful time of year) day! It cannot be stated enough how satisfying the hawk is. It's basically all I need in a bike for the Motorcycle Experience (tm) helno posted:So on the great lakes which are basically freshwater seas you can get some pretty heavy wave action.

How big do these things get that you could fall in? Totally terrifying either way.

They can get really large if the conditions are right. The big ones this year are 10-15 feet tall. The killer part is the fall into the ice cold water.

When I was a child, my grandfather would often take me out to the nearby slough to go fishing. He passed about 10 years ago, and I hadn't been out there since. Today I decided to head out there on my bike. When I asked around, I found out the dock he used to have his boat at burned down... around 10 years ago. Oh well. At least I managed to get a nice picture of my bike out of it all, though you can't see the water much. Edit: I... should probably take those "WEAR YOUR HELMET" stickers off the tank. unimportantguy fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Mar 13, 2022 |

I don't understand why none of the other brands have attempted a light like that. Like yeah you see see adventurous lights on novelty bullshit like on the Grom, or KTM's, but at soon as it's a proper bike they're back to reproducing early 2000's lights just with LED's. Even Ducati can't come up with anything better than "1098 lights but smaller, with LED's". Like come on you can make them literally any shape you like, there's cars coming out with Tron taillights ffs.

Every time you post your little Dr I miss mine a bit. That’s one of the best bikes ever made imo. I really don’t think the DRZ, good as it is, is an adequate replacement.

Older photo from last year: On Saturday, I sold my KTM 500 EXC F in two hours on FB Marketplace. That's always been my experience with selling poo poo private party. Price it a little under market and it's gone right away. "Market price", it sits around forever and you have to deal with the worst people. Was a fun bike for a minute, but I lost interest in dual sport life after I sold my CRB for the Super Duke. The Super Duke is just so loving good.

Oh, that’s awesome. Roughly the right part of the world, but a few hundred miles east. Priest Lake in north Idaho. I did a sea plane tour of the area the same weekend. Was very rad.
