But lets see everyone's VTR and what have you done to it lately and or what trips have you been on recently with the best moto!
For moi: Sadly not much riding in 2021 - New job is back in NYC since 7/21 - thus not home during week, but I did ride to Lake Erie in June/July & then to Columbus, Oh to see my nephew. I wanted to take a swim in Lake Erie - not sure why, but mission accomplished. Rode mostly secondary roads. Pa has very rural areas, particularity north of I-80. Realized that there's no reason to be in Erie, Pa - but glad I did it. After a rain storm in WVa. knew that new tires were needed. (Got some Pirelli Angel GTs mounted in Columbus.) Slabbed from Wheeling to Columbus, but caught the backroads that I wanted to ride on way home after 4th of July. Rt. 555 in Ohio is a great road.
I rode 13 hrs from Columbus home - 617 miles - my *** was killin me. Don't think I want to do that many miles in a single day again.

Now I can post since I don't have to follow and am far enough removed from dori.
Here's the most recent acquisition from Jerry out in Colorado a year ago, my "B" bike. The other girl is in the basement in pieces. It was 70-something here in my part of Illinois today and I DID NOT go for a ride being two weeks post-op for a total knee replacement. Obviously picked a stupid time to have that done.
Pictures are a bit dated as she's currently sporting a double bubble and high-rise Staintunes, but most importantly, she's still yellow.
I lucked out and purchased the whole setup from my buddy who got it from hawkster on here.
Everything was fabricated to fit right up and all I had to do was figure it out.
iv kinda toned mine down a little, removed is the red front dymag, its just getting to old for road use so im back to a honda wheel, the dymags can hang on the wall and look pretty.

As I sit behind this lapper - cold in this Winter of the new year - 2022 - I'm wondering about riding. My mind usually isn't too far from these thoughts.
My VTR - will 20 yrs old in May (bought it on my BDay at the late moto dealer in Dumont NJ - Amols - great place that was...)
So I need to think of a road trip - Memorial weekend - Thinking about 5 days - maybe get back to WVa. But explore more in the Central south part - maybe get into Kentucky a bit.
well the rear one broke the sprk carrier about 3 years ago and tried to kill me so i dont wana take the risk with the front one, i did xray it twice a year but for the sake of a few pounds in weight i will just use the Honda front..
Orthopedic issues have limited my saddle time the last few years, got a leftover 15 FJ09 in 16 as a result and have 55k miles on it but will never sell my fastest red VTR. Have a 76 RD400 to I want to get back on the road.
