I like to call my rides on the 700s, Hot Laps.....

 2nd day in a ROW about 80*, what is this world coming to  ricky    Got home from work, parked the black bike, did some domestic stuff and rolled her out.  Fast cleaning and added some air front and back, was 32, went to 40 psi....  Figured the hot day and roads would make for good Stick'n......

Wick way to go  think2 North to the Skagit River and see about salmon rolling in. Opened 8-1, man it's gona be a blood bath in 3-4 weeks, can't wait......

90 miles on the odometer, I'll see if I can run out of gas before the station....  Off I go, ahhhhhhh I love that sound of OEM pipes. WTH I spent the $$$ on that Mac header  banghead

Now my hot lap area's are very fun with mild and some sharp curves in farm lands, along streams and rivers.... This was all of that.... Pulled into a small town, stop, the go turn right up hill over tracks Bla, out of gas. ON the tracks..... Flip to reserve and were off. Good to know it works and what the milage is.....

OK enough of the chit chat.....  My trip lead me through corn, wheat, mustard, and some sweet ass smelling fields......  I took a spin through some old historic town called La Conner and then to the big bridge. Deception Pass Bridge, the gate to the open see from our inland waters if your headed North to Canada.

Took a brake coming home at  a place that sells fruit, vegi's and ICE CREAM....  THE BEST... Place was busy as all get out. I had to wait a while but still some left me Jimbo.
Here a some pictures of my 100 miler after work.......

Some great photos Jimbo!  I love the rainbow off the water spray and that tall trestle bridge.

Runs way better with the jet kit and lid off than it did....  I just love the stock pipe sound, I do wish I had a good video camera.
