Title: Got out for a ride today
Post by: aviationfred on April 07, 2020, 10:32:13 PM
Two of my retired friends and I got out for a 250 mile ride today. 80°F day with no wind  :yahoo:

This was a ride of the 1200's. My FJ, Roger's Triumph Speed Twin 1200 and Steve's Ducati Multistrada 1260S. We took mostly back roads up to Kanopolis Lake. While there enjoying the scenery and peacefulness of the lake, we got to watch four F16's set up for bombing runs on the nearby Smoky Hills bombing range.

On the way back, Steve and I swapped bikes  :dance2: :yahoo: I got to ride my first Ducati. It was set in touring mode so all the electronic nannies were activated... I actually asked for that, I didnt want an incident on a $20,000.00 motorcycle that wasn't mine.

I took video riding the duck and some good footage of my 1200 from another viewpoint than the cockpit.

Don't worry about that Fred, they still make them, just go to the shop and get another one. Seeing someone else on your FJ, now that's a worry!

Only the 2nd person I have allowed to ride this FJ. The 1st was Doug McCarthy (The General)
