A stormy day means it’s a good chance to wash the GS! I think I have only hand-washed Kiki once (the kids wanted to). I usually let the rain was her. Seem like that’s how a GS should be washed.
It was relatively warm today (yay Texas!) even though we are in the middle of December. Was so much fun riding around.
I’m pretty lucky that I live on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, which has some really fun roads to ride. This morning I rode 1431 from our house in Cedar Park to Marble Falls, then up to Park Road 4, which goes past Longhorn Caverns State Park, and then on to Inks Lake State Park, where I took these photos. It was so much fun, that I turned around and rode the same way back home, and made it in time for lunch! It was a total of about 150 miles round-trip and a fantastic way to spend a Saturday morning.

Besides being a lot clearer, my new glasses make it seem like I am a lot closer to the ground. Too bad it didn’t make my legs any longer! I still need to take care when putting my foot down at stops. 🙂
Took Kiki for a spin this afternoon and enjoyed the relatively warm Texas weather. Man I love riding a motorbike!!
I went for a nice ride to a favorite road of mine, Cow Creek. Before that, I rode to Volente Beach and Lime Creek Road, which has some really tight hairpin turns. That was pretty fun, but not really my type of road. Cow Creek is definitely more my pace. And I saw cows!
Beautiful sky and clouds today made for a wonderful ride!
Went for a nice Sunday ride a little north from my house. It’s a route that I enjoyed before and the weather was good, so I knew it would be a good little trip. The highlight of this route is from Maxdale Road, south of Killeen, heading west. Along the way, I took a small road that roughly follows the Lampasas River. After that, I found a gravel road which was a lot of fun to ride.
I got Kiki kind of dirty, but I think a dual-sport motorcycle should not be too shiny and clean. Kiki is getting a little grimy because of the ATF lube, but it’s not causing any damage or safety issues.
A fun ride, one that I will definitely be doing again when I am up in that area.
Another great vid from MotoGeo.
Nice ride this morning! Lots of motorcycles out there. Probably getting ready for MotoGP!
Kiki and I went out for an afternoon ride close to home. The weather was great, about 72°F and sunny and I saw plenty of other motorcyclists taking advantage. Such fun! The ride was 47 miles.
