Rare Ride Opportunity For BB -N- Me

Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 4:21 am

No snow in Alaska and temps above freezing!!!! Shocked

I was able to go for a ride yesterday and took a few last ride photos of BB around town. Started to get a bit cold when teh sun went away behind the clouds so I called it good after 60 miles. This is the latest in the year that I've ever been able to ride. Put 2600 miles on BB this summer!! Twisted Evil

One fine looking ride, Dave. Wait a day or two before you put her to bed, you might get another chance! Thanks for the pics, brother!

BB is looking mighty fine, Dave.
A couple of those pics are Home Page worthy.

Drool, drool!

BB sure adds to the local scenery! Time to enlarge some of these photo's for over the fireplace during the upcoming winter months.

That is one pretty machine, and the scenery is nice too.
Did you say "This is the latest in the year that I've ever been able to ride", oh I will just leave it alone Laughing

Hahaha good one.

Thanks for the compliments all! Very Happy

I was just very pleased to be able to go for that run on Saturday and to take the time to snap some pics to share. Snowline is down to about 1000' AMSL today whereas it was at about 3000' on Saturday.

Thought about riding to work this morning but tis too cold. I did ride BB to work once last week but shouldn't have. Best time is between 12-4pm right now.

Here's hoping for another chance.

You lucky bastard,

It has been frosty in the mornings for the last week or so and 1-2" of snow this morning with more coming Rolling Eyes

. Time to roll out the old studded BT45's. BB sure is sexy, does you wife ever get jealous? My girl thinks I spend way too much time with my bike.

Grant.

Ps. BB would make a great cover shot but lets keep this new on for a while.

Once again, great looking ride you have there Dave.

Dave,
That bike looks better and better with every new picture. It's so tastefully done. Thanks for sharing the new pictures.

BTW, rode my 750 into work this morning at a bone chilling 58 degrees, and it will be close to 90 when I go home. Perfect time of year down here, If we can only keep the fires away.

Thanks again for all the nice comments. This site gets much of the credit for BB's restoration and especially Dirty Mary. Anyway, its nasty rainy weather today so I'm not sure I'll get to ride again this year but still no snow and not freezing.

I am a proud F'er for sure. Very Happy
