MN Spring Ride XIII Redux
41 - 60 of 84 Posts
Thanks for the ride @Thumper! I road to Dave's and I followed him to Belle Plane. Shake down ride. I did lose a handlebar fastener to my Slipstreamer windscreen. Will replace it from one off the GL500. Happy to take care of that before Saturday.
GL650 hummed. 5,400RPM at 65mph.
Looking forward to Saturday!

I had hoped to have my own GL650 ready for the Ride, but I keep finding things that need to be addressed. Best not to rush through it.
Let's have a ride to celebrate completion!

It'll be a mix.
It is all I got.

I'm just curious. Since I'm still in the Black Hills and riding some side by side trails, I really have the urge to break out the BMW when I get home.
Thinking of saving the Silverwing's tires for an annual September ride with friends. The rear is getting a bit worn and I may let a friend ride the Goldwing for that one.

Ride it. Wayne's pretty orange BMW might enjoy the company.

I've uploaded the GPX file for anyone who wants it in their navigator.
I contacted the Kaiserhoff yesterday to warn them of our visit. Per the latest executive order, we'll each need a face mask for moving around inside the restaurant. We can take them off after we're seated. They have a large dining room to spread us out.
It will be cooler than last week, but still hot. Bring some water.

Do you have a google map with all the sections in one map? I uploaded the GPX to my maps, but it only gives an image of the trip.
Thanks!

My tires on my GL650 have about 200 miles on them. See you on he Beemer!
My status remains the same-should be able to short visit in evening.

No, only in the five segments linked in the first post. You should be able to load each of those.
Okay, I'll save the separate ones.

My Friday off work has disappeared. I'm still hoping I can make the ride. I've got my engine installed and exhaust hooked up as far as the H-box. Still need to hook up the carbs, mufflers, install radiator, tank, and fairing. Fire it up and check for leaks and such and hope for the best. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I can at least cut out of work early tomorrow and try to get that all completed before the night is done.
Is there a group gathering to ride down to the muster point?

My house, leaving at 7:30.
Sheesh. My foot brake started sticking all the sudden on the way home from work.. I think it was dropped on the right side sometime and the brake pedal was bent toward the exhaust guard. I loosened it by the back end of the foot pedal and tightened and now the brake light stays on. I searched the forum and I will look at the brake light adjustment on the shifter side tomorrow. Get off from work a little early so I can do it.
I plan on meeting Thumper Saturday morning to travel with him to the rally point. Thumper, If I don't get the bike fixed, I''l call you Friday evening.

On the GL650 on the right side near the foot brake lever there is a little spring loaded actuator that turns on the brake light. Use a pair of needle nose pliers and make sure it moves freely, it might be stuck. On the CX it is on the left side but yours should be on the right.
