Absolutely beautiful day here today so I called my friend up and rode over to his house around 3:30. From there we rode down the coast to Del Mar on our garage queen poser mobiles and had some coffee. I took this pic when we were posing up on the deck with our coffee.



Last time I rode was over 2 weeks ago. Probably the longest I've let my bike sit without riding it since I bought it by far. Last time we went riding I rode up to the town of Julian which is way more fun (lots of twisties) but takes a few hours.

This is my friend's bike. He bought this new in 2007 and has done a ton of mods to it. I really dig it.

I got about a 30min ride in January when the temps hit 50. Haven't been on since.

Ballmode, I've got a Triumph Street Triple R, but no experience with their classics.

Beautiful scenery. I've been really lax this year and not made the time to take my bike out for a proper thrashing. I need to correct that this weekend.

I have a '99 Triumph legend tt. They're great bikes. The thruxton and bonneville have great style but the engines are uninspiring and low on power for a modern machine. I'd suggest a triple instead, either one of the classic range '99-'04 thunderbird/legend/adventurer, the speed triple or the street triple.

One of the guys I ride with rides a Triumph 955 Daytona. It is a pretty cool bike. He's the original owner and has over 50,000 miles on it.

Jealous. Nice day and a nice bike.
Wish it was that nice here. We have had a blizzard at -15*C, 1.5ft of snow, 4ft drifts and crazy winds ripping siding off of buildings for the past 3 out of 4 days. Today is not as bad, -5*C and bearable. Sick of winter and going a little crazy. *quirks head*

I obviously live in the wrong part of the country. My Duc hasn't seen the sun since September.
