Carlos State Park, north of Alexandria Minnesota. Checking out the snow geese, but they didn't land close enough to get a picture.

That slushy road looks hazardous to me, who has only once ridden on an icy road and found it challenging (in Tasmania).

Nice bike! I see it is a 500cc, what is the brand?

It's only like that one the shoulder where I parked. The roads were dry. I did take a shortcut across the lake, and that was a little more sketchy. It was plowed though, so at least it was flat and -mostly- consistent.

It's a 2022 Honda CB500X. I've already modified it a smidge.

I rode about 20 ft today. Took some pictures for a very expensive but very exciting project. We got 3 in of snow plus 3/8 of an inch of ice yesterday. Supposed to be in the '50s next week. Probably go from freezing to flooding.

Went out for a ride to test the hippo hands.

Looks like you got yourself some cleaning to do. That's a lovely Winter's day out- clear crisp skies and melting snow.
RE: Where did you ride today? - Lapchik - 04-11-2023 09:12 AM
I only clean bikes when the dirt makes it more difficult to ride, affects cooling, or when I need to do internal engine work. The exact opposite of my Dad, who just surpassed 117,000 miles on his 1700 Voyager that looks showroom clean.
Can't wait to get rid of these tires, they are horrible. And the replacements are already in the garage waiting.

I finished riding to every single county in Iowa on a motorcycle this weekend.

<< snip videos >>
I am intrigued by your videos. What is your video camera set-up ??
RE: Where did you ride today? - Lapchik - 05-15-2023 09:16 PM
It's an Insta360 X3 on a stick, RAM ball mount on the handlebars. I will have one for the Avery IA pyramids in the next couple days on my channel also.

On a stick, attached to a RAM mount on the handlebars, you say.

I was really scratching my head trying to find "the stick" in the video, then I had a look at the Insta360 website, and under Accessories there it is, an "invisible" stick. Well, not really invisible, but it and the camera work together to give that effect. The wonders of modern technology.
RE: Where did you ride today? - Lapchik - 05-16-2023 08:59 AM
The stick is always in the "splice" plane of the camera between the front and back lens. When you combine the images, neither one can see it.

Here's another one. You can edit to follow you, or like I did here in the alley, stay in one absolute direction

Up North scouting a new dual sport route
