So this is part of the Palouse, like 4 or 5 miles south of Pullman, but if you drive any direction you get insane fields like this

 

Or 4 or 5 hours of them if you are driving back to the West side

 

Short ride today to get a couple of steam locomotives for the Team Strange Trais to Rails event I'm doing.



Williams Grove Railroad about 20 minutes from my house.



Harrisburg City Island small scale steam railroad

 

I miss the palouse in spring/summertime, but I was rockin a 65 mustang 20 some years back.

 

Just hit 10,000 miles on my 78 Trail 90

 

Damn, thats a lot of miles for a little 90! Original engine?

 

Nothing done and still runs great, I bought the 90 around 20 years ago with about 9,000 miles. Previous owner really rode it a lot but also took really good care of it

my 1971 Trail 70 has 2,900 miles on it

 

1k miles in 20 years I thought I was bad with 1k miles in 2 years on the Grom.

 

It’s what happens when you have to many motorcycles I’m down to 8 now I almost sold the 90 around 10 years ago until my daughter said she wanted it, sadly it doesn’t get ridden much though I will say I always have a great time on it and when I take it places people love it!

 

Calling all long oval head shapes... what lids are you rockin? I'm coming from an Arai Signet Q, which was perfect, but not sold on the latest Signet X offering.

I'm probably closer to intermediate oval, but certainly oval. Shoei helmets fit me perfectly, much better than Arai helmets. Check out the new RF-1400, RF-SR or GT Air 2 series.

 

Thanks for the tip. It's been hard to find anything local to actually try on.

 

BTW... happy treason day you ungrateful colonials!

 

You’re welcome

 

Took my overweight Super Tenere into the eastern Sierra and almost kept up with my buddy's Husky.

 

Thanks for your service!!

 

Its not treason if you win!

 

Bike overheated yesterday on the way home from the lake 83 miles away. Thankfully it did so right before I was about to jump on the freeway and ascend a rather large hill. Had to limp it the last 20 miles home about 3 miles at a go. Nothing like being sunburnt, dehydrated, in the 100* sun then having to deal with a hot bike. #overit

Went to check the coolant today, and I think I found the problem. Realized I didnt check it when I bought it back in March, when it was 41* outside so unfortunately dont have a baseline to know if it lost it all or never had any. Has run flawlessly until yesterday afternoon. Ran it for a quick minute today to check for error lights, etc and its clear, so hoping I just need to add coolant and be g2g.

Reading up on it, apparently 390s are notorious for overheating, and also slowly losing coolant, so Im hoping its not a larger issue.
