Hey Fellows, Been a while. Just took my end of the season long trip. Went from North Carolina to Blacksburg, VA and met up with my best friend. There we went and rode a couple of days in the back roads of West Virgnina and Virginia. Beautiful weather, great scenery, good friend and fair roads. I hope this will hold through the winter untill our long spring ride. I guess short rides will have to suffice for now. Also my Hurricane 1000 turned 28,000 miles on this trip without a hicup. Check out these pics of Virginia and West Virginia. Beautiful. Ride safe.

Hola Luis ! Dues Cervezas por favor, el peligrosos are coming !
Gezzus !! how far would that be ?? border to border as the crow fly''''''''''''''''s ..around the 2100 klms ??
A decent old ride that would be !!
When I was 25 Me and a few mates did the complete Melbourne to Perth ride here in Aust
(across from one side to the other ) that was around the 3400+ klms in Total !!in 15 only days including only over night stops and a little time (a few days)at the other end..!!
Plus..back in those days the Nularbor Plains were 450-500kmls DIRT right in the middle of friggin nowhere ! and 3" -6"" THICK RED DUST from the cattle trucks and busses ...NO SHIT!!!
A blast from my past if any ones interested ?
I dragged out a few extremely old pics taken back then by me ( so I am not in any ) from that trip 3400+klm.. All 900 Kawasaki''''''''s sorry but the pics have deteiorated a bit in the years gone by ..just like me
On the edge of the Nularbor Plin Desert ... ( Sealed road still )
Stopped in the middle of what was a near 500klm stretch of diirt in the middle of bloody knowhere
One of the guys took a tumble in the thick sandy dirt road ..
The guy (John) that went and bit the dust ..just dirty and a few scratches ...
This was the service station accommodation back then half way across this bloody huge country ..like a mining camp it was ...

Now those are some cool pics from back in the day. Yes West Virginia is a beautiful place. Belief it or not we stayed in a room above a general store in some no name town. It had a cool river view. Funny where you are willing to find a room, but when we ride we try to eat at local mom and pop restraunts and stay in some very unusual accomadations. The only time you get to be away from the main stream society and get back to how things used to be before Holiday Inns and Mcdondalds. When people asked where we where going we would say trying to get lost. That is when you find unique roads, restraunts, and rooms. Anyways I hope all of you will be able to get lost befor the season is over.

Was around 80 degrees F today in SE USA. Got up before dawn, rode up from Huntsville, Alabama to Nashville, Tennessee. Met up with a member of another forum and his friends. Rode around the area SW of Nashville (Leiper''s Fork) for about 4 hours, parted ways and headed S/SE from there. Hit a bunch of two lane back roads from SE of Nashville down to Shelbyville, TN, then Lynchburg, TN (yes, home of the Jack Daniels Whiskey Distillery-usually full of Harleys.) More back roads from there down to Huntland, TN, then Tennessee State Highway 97 and Alabama State Highway 65 through the Paint Rock River valley and back to home. By the amount of gas I used, figure I did at least 400 miles today and had a great time. (No, I didn''t get any pics. Sorry!)

From what i read about them, they are a copy of the cbr1000f, same type of frame same purpose...
http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/suzu/suzuki_rf900r%2094.htm
by the way the cr1000f lives on, the cb13000f engine is based on ours...

Well, I may not make Mexico anytime soon, but I am thinking maybe a weekend trip into Quebec wouldn''t hurt.
Hey Dragon, maybe we should hook up in the spring in the Laurentians or some such and I can check out your new wheels?
