...ah, well... all that talk about winter projects, $hitty weather and salt on the roads... I figured I'd share the joy a little!
Funny thing, we'll be out on three bikes... all three of which are mine

...actually, one of which is the 11S and the guy who's buying it will ride that bike... so I may be down to 5... Sporty being sold... 4!
If I get rid of the 12S... 3!... you get the picture, Carl... I am thinning out!

Ralf, you are selling your 11S. Do you have any plans of putting the BCR back together? I figured the 11S and GS would be stable mates after all the others were gone.

...no, Rob... ultimately, I am thinking of keeping the GS and the Thumper... maybe the 12S but I really don't want to go that fast anymore and the 12S just begs to be ridden fast...
Maybe I'll get a designated track bike... but that will be more along the lines of an SV650 or something like that... But, driving 250 miles (one way) to my favorite track is getting old as well...

All I can say Ralf is watch out of the mud slides. California has three seasons-fire, flood/mud and quake.

Man it's flat out here!

Got SNOW?
Thanks for all your encouragement Ralph
 ...Yep we're supposed to get 8 inches of snow before it ends tomorrow around noon. But, I went Dirt Riding on a KTM 300XC last weekend with my dirt/street riding Buds...8 days later and I'm still sore all over. Fell down 3 times...just worn out! I might get a used KDX200 next spring if all goes well. Seems riding during the cold months is great in the dirt according to my Buds. BTW, I bought gas in St. Louis a few days ago for $1.799/Gallon of Phillips 66 Premium Fuel. They were selling Regular Grade for $1.499/Gallon. Here's the riding area near Astoria, IL...yes that's a MotoCross Track in the Southeast Corner.  Here's the sign-in building...yes it's unmaned (Honor System).  Here's the riding gear my good Buddies Jeff and Nate loaned to me...ATGATT!  Here's the KTM my good Buddy Paul let me borrow.

If you aren't sore the next day... you were not having fun.

...Ah, 2-stroker... much bite!
Went dirt-biking on Friday... one day after the 2-day rain we had... can't tell you what I looked like when we came back... IT WAS A BLAST, though... Today was foggy along the coast... but it was warm and sunny about 5 miles inland and stayed that way all day until we got back to the beach... problem was traffic, it is desert season again! Dangit... the good news for all the TC fans down here... BANNER GRADE (one of the local race tracks) IS COMPLETELY REPAVED! SAAAWWWEEEEETTTT! I'll have to re-visit during the week though...

Ralf, I'm down to a Twistie Bike and a Touring Bike. Kind of a Jekyll and Hyde thingy.
