Short Rides and Thoughts
Here you will find random thoughts about motorcycling in general, short rides, and other ideas that really don't fit anywhere else.
A typical day for the BamaRider. A short ride on the RT and CB 1100.
Day ride on a Kawasaki 1200 ZRX, one of the last of the UJM motorcycles. 241 miles and home before supper. Lots of pics. 5-2-2017
