Finally back out as summer rolls into fall here in Cleveland

[3rd Gear Steve]

I drove through heavy rain on my way back to Cleveland from the east coast rally, and coated every nook and cranny with highway grime. I swore I would wash it thoroughly(ish) before cooking the grime onto the shiny, and with my girlfriend gone for work this week and nothing else to do, I finally did! I think I need to buy some special washing implements… man are there a lot of annoying crevices.

With that done, I finally installed my new tail carrier. Massive thanks to [mention]stopher50 [/mention]for passing that on me, I love how it looks! It fixes what I personally feel to be the least attractive part of the bike - the massive chrome rear fender assembly drooping off the tail.

Anyway! With the bike gleaming and some beautiful clouds rolling in over the lake, I set out to get a glamour shot. I hope I can get out again this weekend, as the wind is blowing fall into my area today!

Beautiful bike Steve. Yes, they do have a lot of little nooks and crannies, don't they?

I just ignore the nooks and crannies lol

Feels like fall here today..cloudy, windy and mid 60's for temps.

Chrome is most beautiful ... on someone else's beast.

Speaking of Summer rolling into Fall, we still have a couple more weeks of triple-digit high temperatures, but the mornings are getting cooler. I'm getting the itch to get out there and ride some more now in the mornings before it gets too hot. I used to ride in these temperatures, and run in the afternoon sun and heat, but I'm just too old for that now, so I'll wait until I can enjoy it.

Just in time for the Browns to clobber the Steelers!
