BMW R1200 GS / 2013, new water GS. Over 700 miles in May to break it in. Rode in some challenging weather. It was snowing this morning on the ride in. That's why they call these motorcycles "Adventure Bikes".
Ride em in the May snow...
Got some good mountain biking in, down by the river.
Had a good road trip, 700 miles overnight to pick up 8 motorcycles in Wisconsin. The Ecoboost F150 pulled the 27 foot trailer with ease.
Whitefish Lake still had ice well into the month of May. The winds were blowing at about 40 MPH this week-end so the lake ice was moving and shifting into the shoreline.
Another motorcycle that I spent some time riding was a new Honda Goldwing, loaded. It is good to be able to ride these very nice motorcycles. They are all different and I like adjusting to the different riding styles.
Then there were the turkeys that a saw on one of my motorcycle rides. Came around a corner and he was strutting in the middle of the road. There were a couple hen turkeys that he was showing off for.
With all the funky weather, there was also some sunny days and brother Bill rode his vintage 750 Honda into town on a Saturday. This is his project bike that he rebuilt. It looks and sounds great.
With having Mondays off, I was able to take a good road trip on the BMW R1200 GS. It was a good 280 mile day with a mix of paved and gravel roads all the way to the Iowa border and made a loop back to the east and stopped into my sons and daughter-in laws house for a good supper and then hammered the final 80 miles home. This is my favorite motorcycle to date. If you get a chance ya got to ride one...
Taking a break along the Country Roads...May was a good adventure month, I like the unpredictable weather, just wear the right clothing and I'm good to go.
Ride On!!
