Fall Cruzin

Well, thanks to this forum I got my $500 dollar xj up and running!! Got one last beautiful ride before the snow came yesterday. Hopefully I can get a few more rips in
Cheers.

 

Yikes! 27 degrees and sunny in Ontario, fall colors on display, a great day for riding. Sympathy for Saskatchewan.

 

Saw the snowfall on news, rain here on the west coast but looking nice for Monday and Tuesday

 

Hey Dirty, that was a really nice looking ride, I enjoyed watching it. The country side looks a lot like here in Western PA

 

Those dirt roads are in great shape for tearing it up. You running street tires?

 

Thank you, and everyone thinks Saskatchewan is just flat prairie

 

haha yea just some old worn out Bridgestone Spitfires it came with, the plan is to make a scrambler and get some better tires. Around here I drive more gavel then pavement, the trails are way more fun

 

This time of year our South Dakota weather can change fast. I'm still riding - but keep Stabil in each gas tank so I can store on a moments notice if necessary. Will try to get a pre-storage oil change in later this month.

 

Going back to the 70 degree mark again here in western PA. We usually get really nice autumn weather , some years it turns early and stays but last couple have been extra nice fall seasons. Only warm for a few hrs. in the afternoon, but sunny blue skies and fall foliage, if you never seen it , you really need to put it on your bucket list. This year no fall riding for me, since I crushed both heels with the construction accident. And this will be the first year that we wont be doing the fall family hike for the last 17 yrs . Me ,my wife and 2 kids, I have Surgery on Fri, then 3 mo. no weight (which means a wheelchair) then get to start phy. therapy for another month or two. Seeing I just got the bike finished, it is bigger drag than ever, plus being a burden on everyone, enough of that, sorry for the pity party. Everyone be safe and RIDE ON !

 

Nice pics.

 

Great video and pics! I love fall riding as well, makes wearing all the gear enjoyable and the scenery is great. Only downfall here is wet leaves in the corners.

 

In my part of the world you have to look out for leaves and wall nuts on the road.

 

Deer, bear and turkeys.

 

Possum, Raccoons,& Drunks...

 

people!

 

People driving and texting! Deer, raccoons, bears, coyotes I can handle.

 

Fall is just getting started in TN. Best time of year. Great for riding.

 

Rode yesterday and today. Maybe last weekend of season. Changed oil, washed bike, and placed Stabil in tank. Ready to top off gas tank, roll into back of garage, and plug in battery saver for storage if it gets cold this week.

Leaves on street at corners is my big concern.

 

I wanted to add my own video. This is 1 raw file out of 3 for this ride. I'll play with editing and make something more concise to post later. Figured you all would appreciate the raw sound.


Some may remember that June is when I got my bike, no license, but ready to learn. Spent a month on it (see showcase for the rundown), started learning to ride, took the MSF course, got licensed. 1200+ miles later got a GoPro Hero Session and just in time as the weather starts getting really crappy. Thanks for all those who helped me get the bike on the road. It really is a joy to ride!

 

Are you cruzin along Lake Ontario? Nice area to ride by the look of video and with farms and barns around would be a pickers dream
