Very nice! My friend has a matte black Scout Bobber twenty, I love taking that thing around. They look even better with some color to them like yours.

Here’s my bike. 2020 Honda CB650R.

Got up to the low 60s today, so got to get another ride in. Not a bad way to spend Christmas Eve!

Love the wheels on the 20

Not too terribly exciting, but took the dirt bike out around the hood. A tad over 20 miles to stretch its legs a little. Haven‘t run the dirt/gravel roads since October, so figured low speed slab is better than nothing.

Swapped the factory Mickey Mouse ear turn signals for LED rings...

Similar setup for replacing the rears coming up. Bit more of a "stripped down" look.
Bikes are fun to tinker with.

Did the rears.

Need some warmer weather!

Anyone want to meet for lunch tomorrow before the big chill?

Yankee's
Drifters
Twin Peaks

Other?

 

[Coiled]

I knocked down 180mi and a stop at the Peaks before the chill.

I've tried a couple times to no avail, someone else suggest a meet up and let's see how it goes.

It's beautiful out there and 2 weeks since my last ride.

I'll be at Drifters around 1:30.

Been on three day run escorting this around East Texas. I really hope we make it to Texarkana tomorrow. 16 ft tall, 18ft wide, 320ft long. Have no idea on weight, it heavy because we have a pusher truck.

Dayum, that’s a lot of wheels there

Dayum that’s a lot of wheels there. What’s a pusher truck?

What is cruising speed?

 

[Texasgordo]

What’s a pusher truck?

It's another truck behind the load that pushes due to the heavy weight of whatever load they are moving.

What is cruising speed?

About 45-50 mph on the highway, maybe 35-40 on the backroads. TXDOT doesn't give you a direct route because of the size. So what's normally a 4hr trip becomes a 22 hr trip.

I've received a few of those.
They get there when they get there.
A good transport company will provide a 24 hour window for arrival on site.
Then we wait on the crane to offload and set on permanent foundation.
It's kinda unusual and eventually boring as all get out.

But at least they give you a route that's passable, right? I've seen mobile homes in ditches twice in my life and both times I thought to myself "What made them think that truck and load could make that turn?"

I always wondered who pays, who gets fired, and who winds up in court when expensive things are ruined in that manner. I haven't wondered enough to actually go research it, though.
