Fantastic picture.

 
Thanks!

Victor is an interesting little town. It's four miles from Cripple Creek which is an old mining town that has stayed alive because of gambling.

Victor has no casinos, just a bunch of old buildings that are restored, housing museums, stores and restaurants at 9700 feet.

Between the two towns is an operational mine that produces 300,000 ounces of gold per year.

 
Changed oil & filter, FD oil, spark plugs, TBS, had to replace those little rubber caps after TBS as all 4 were cracked and pretty much shot. Turned over 80k miles on test ride. Still runs as strong as the day I bought it.

Day 160 consecutive riding 10 or more miles.

 
You can have that New England traffic Dave! My commute was pretty easy but the skies are clouding up and I expect to ride home in the rain.Oh well, bike needs washed anyway. Day 163 consecutive hoping Mother Nature is kind this winter. Considering a KLR or maybe a Grom for winter duty.

Rode it to work again. Not ashamed to admit I had the grip heaters on for a few minutes. In the 50's this morning in Massachusetts.

No school buses yet in my neck of the woods.

 
Almost used the grip heaters this morning myself! 75F and 75 mph in the HOV lane! Yippee! (No school buses on I-75 SB.)

Rode to work, and took teh route with a few extra twisties, including the right wrist.

 
Rode it to work and somehow, struggling, resisted the very strong urge to miss the turn into the parking lot. Beautiful 66 degree morning with a forecast high of 80 and barely a cloud in the sky. Dammit dedication to one's job is highly overrated.

 
I rode it about 250 miles yesterday...problem was about 120 miles from home I poked my finger and drew blood on steel belt shards coming out of the tire. Somehow, I made it home. I swapped this well used T-30 GT 155/90 for a good PR4 155/90 and bent my HF tire changing rack and pulled out a floor anchor in the process. These big tires are a sum-bitch to change.
