Normally I prefer stock looking stuff, but man when the same Road 2 costs like $70 more than the one with the Mega Sport GOFAST double exhaust, I'm going to save the $70, I said if I hated it I could just cut it off anyway, but TBH I really dig it, so it stays. Did you fit a spare fine with yours? I know you made the tips removable for inevitable flats.

Yes I have a spare mounted. Removable tips are a must on these!

Laughing emoticon Thank you! Tbh, the light at that time gives the most mundane pics great colors, and the area is full of centuries-old towns and buildings. Basically, point the camera in any direction and you're bound to capture something decent

The Sweetwater River Bridge, built in 1929. A modern highway bridge was built right next to it in 1987, and they just left the old one as a rusty historical relic.

Spring has been slow to arrive so today was the first ride of 2026. Ran some errands, burned off some old gas, gave her a wash, and threw in a side trip to the beach.
Stiff breeze. Otherwise, still pretty quiet out here.

At least another month of stick season left. 48F and windy but a nice ride on the 200. Feels great to get out after a long winter.

Nice!

I'm jealous! I haven't had a decent weekend to get out and ride for a while. We have been in a weather cycle of Cool Temps, High Wind, Rain, and even light snow. At least the snow melts in a day. Crying or Very sad emoticon

Getting out at every opportunity.

We've had tons of rain. I think we are still at 300% what we normally have by this time. Some roads are now river.

Inspired by Franks posts I decided to take the long way to the grocery store for some things. The long way involved a stop at a county park to walk up a big big hill. Then some glam shots and home…oh wait the store….ahhh I'll use what I have 🤪
