Happy Birthday @BkerChuck !

 

Yeah modern motors are pretty darn good as long as you keep fresh oil of the proper spec in them.

Happy bday @BkerChuck

 

Gotta treat yourself sometimes!

Bright bikes on a grey day

 

I should've checked the weather today. Ambulance bay parking

 

Awesomeness!!! I would say have a brew for me but I don’t really drink.
Maybe eat some hot wings or BBQ for me!!!

 

@BkerChuck

Happy Bday Brutha!

 

Thanks for coming out and meeting me this morning. Crowd was a bit light but still fun. Will post some pics later.

 

Thanks to all of you for thr birthday wishes! Will post some better pics of the 2013 once I get it cleaned up

 

I give the fun to ride to the chic. Ease of maintenance to the bike. Tough call on which one to keep

 

The bike of course. The chick will only crush you to oblivion!!!!!

Edit - That’s why we are all here..and not some marriage/couples forum lol

 

Happy birthday @BkerChuck! Looks like you had a good birthday ride.

 

Met up with @FreshOldTaco in Oley for the Turkey Pro Nationals, the nations oldest slow race or so they claim. Here's a few pics from the parking lot:









A few shots from the competition. The course is a roughly 100-yard-long rectangle about 6-8 feet wide laid out in the grass on an area with a slope and 2 trees in the way. 2 riders start off in opposite directions with a judge walking alongside timing them. Riders may not put a foot down but if their balance is good enough, they can come to a compete stop on the course. The rider who can take the longest to complete the course wins.




Obviously there is no minimum age and any motorcycle us allowed.



Even a Zero electric



There were an odd number of entrants, so they left this little girl take a second crack at the course. She didn't win but was a crowd favorite.

 

I have a Kriega R25. It is an excellent backpack. Perfect size for commuting. Only downside is that it is not waterproof. I don't ride in rain so it's not a huge issue. I would have gone with the R22 or R30 if waterproof was necessary.

Happy birthday Chuck.

 

Noco Lithium powersports batteries are on decent sale right now if you were looking at them via Amazon. Been very happy with my

$130 NLP14 , Group 14, 500A Lithium LiFePO4 Motorcycle Battery, 12V 4Ah ATV, UTV, Jet Ski, 4 Wheeler, Quad, Riding Lawn Mower, Tractor, Scooter, PWC, Seadoo, Polaris and Generator Battery

NLP14 in the supertenere. The thing will crank my truck the same or better than its big ole Lead 24F battery.

 

Love the CB1100F. One year only model (1983). Wanted one very much. Never found one for sale or at the dealer so bought a 1984 CB700SCE (aka Nighthawk S). Mine was the red/black. That is a bike I wish I had kept.

 

Also loved my 2006 FJR. A little over 30K miles mine joined the failed 2nd gear club. On an FJR second gear is good from 20mph to 90mph so it gets lots of work. With the amount of torque the FJR has the dogs on mine could not cope any more and it would momentarily pop out of gear when it hit 4,500-ish RPM at full throttle. Very consistent behavior. $2,400 to fix (2014).

So, if you ride one and it shifts fine and it holds 2nd gear through a couple of full throttle roll on’s you should be good to go (fingers crossed).

 

Happy birthday @BkerChuck ! Glad you got to spend it at a show.

I love slow races, way harder than they look. Especially on grass.

 

Second kriegas. i have a trail 18 and the quadlok harness feels great, even after an all day ride. R30's going to be pretty big, I feel. How much lunch you bringing @but why tho

 

I end up taking with me:

- 15" laptop
- Lunch + snacks (just a tupperware + bars)
- Thermos with coffee
- Change of clothes
- Climbing shoes/chalk bag

I do ride in the rain so I need a waterproof backpack. The R22 might be too small so I want the R30.

 

I had a good time some cool bikes showed up and the slow race was fun to watch. Enjoyed the brisk ride too. Only other pic I took …
