Title: Black Friday Ride
Post by: CndnMax on November 23, 2007, 05:32:42 PM
Why go wait in line at the mall when you can be out riding!?  :dunno_white:
Left at about 9:15 came back around 3:15 total of roughly 125 miles  :icon_mrgreen:

Yeah the roads were nearly empty. there were several motorcycles, very few cars, ands a few boats. This guy did pull up to the corner store with a big ass boat, this thing had to be +40 feet long- 3 axles- the frame had to be nearly 3/4 foot wide/thick  :o we were all wondering how he gets it around the twisties when people have a hard time with just a truck :laugh:

One of my favorite things about the motorcycle is being able to park wherever you want.

I'll usually find those odd places where no car could park like those white lines and around light posts and park there but they all decided to park next to the tables so i said w/e.

Is that bike between the to GSfs a GS. Looks like it could be what it has a weird square light and windscreen.

Those gaudy blinkers and the three spoked wheel made me think it was a GS. That light was throwing me off though.
