New Years Day ride
#1

Every New Years Day, weather permitting, central Virginia riders get together to enjoy a ride and lunch at a Chinese restaurant.

Even with the warm weather, there was a light turn out for the ride today. A guy who restores old Japanese motorcycles for a living showed up on this CB750 that ran like new. I didn't continue with them but instead came home. When I arrived home, my son was snapping some pictures on the yard with his toy NSA drone, that little thing is pretty cool. I couldn't resist a turn and promptly got it stuck in a tree! I was able to shake it off the branch by tossing a wrench with a rope attached to it near the drone and then pulling like mad, it worked! WHEW!











Some Iron Butt guy showed up on this FJR...a bit of overkill for a ride to lunch!


Another guy showed up on this absolutely mad looking R1. In the picture you can't appreciate all the carbon fiber



Me playing NSA spy and taking a picture of myself with Gabriel's drone...this picture was taken about 3 seconds before the wind took over and blew it into a tree!


Happy New Year to you all. May you have peace, happiness, health and love in 2016!

The factory RLETs on the 750 look a bit longer in the shaft to me. Interesting design change.
