Well, I was futzing around in the garage and duck paddled my F650 from the front of the garage to the back. Then later I moved it back to the front of the garage. So for the year I am up to about 25 feet. Does that count??![]()

Tom, if you made putt-putt noises while you paddled around, I say it counts!

I managed to get out in the Hill Country for about 3-4 hours today, and put about 250 miles on Bebe. There were a few rain showers, but temps got up to around 70 and we found some excellent back roads between Blanco and Fredericksburg!![]()
Nice way to start the new year.

In between rainstorms (mostly) here in the bay area, I got in a nice little 140 mile putt.

I reckon I'm still getting a little over 40 MPG![]()

Well I am up to 65 miles. Today most tourists are leaving the Fl Keys and traffic is hell on earth. Imagine all these cagers getting on a two lane road.![]()
On the 31st two people diedin a crash that closed the road for 4 hrs. I went to my folks in my truck and this crash happened 20 min behind me. While on the road up to Ft. Lauderdale I saw two more crashes on the south side of the Turnpike, lucky for me I went north. Yup tourist season has started and as usual they are in a rush to get here.

However, remember, when it's August here, the outside temps are around 105, the humidity is around 98%, and the asphalt is close to a liquid state. Not much fun for riding.

It is rianing very hard, but I had an appointment to install ohlins shocks on my R1200GS this morning at 8am so I rode 2 miles to the shop.
Surprise I was the only customer!
Rode the F650Gs home 2 miles in the rain, mid 40's.
San Diego averages 10 inches of rain annually so I figure by this evening we will have received our annual average amount of rain.
Can't wait for the sun and temps in the mid 60's to return. I hate winter!![]()

I bought my 92 R100R at the end of January 1992, as this year went by I thought I would be able to have that bike roll over the 200,000 mile mark by its 13th year. I may have taken the past years weather for granted.
0 miles in the new year, and it does not look like I will be riding soon.![]()

Why not??? Deep snow makes for great traction, just warp a thick rope around each tire and you've got ready to order "chains"Originally Posted by widebmw
