Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Hello?

I am on here every day and I don't see anyone posting about anything. Where is everyone?

Well, I shoveled snow today & thought about the next mods for my SM

I am here. Check in almost daily myself. Middle of winter not much to say.

I did meet a gentleman on Facebook that wants to join us, but not able to for some reason.

Me too -- check the site once a day or so. It's been around zero degrees hereabouts, so riding is a ways off. I do however cheer myself up every winter thinking about upcoming summer rides on my BA; which motivates me to get the bike out and fire it up as soon as it warms a bit in spring.

Around here spring hits towards the end of April... Two, two and a half months off? Who knows, maybe we'll get an early spring!

I check in just about every day also, I usually don't say much to begin with any way. I could be like people on my town's Facebook page and complain about the thrash being late to be picked up or someone spotted a cat and they're wondering if it belonged to anyone.

By the way Dog, how's your wrist doing?

Same here....I check in daily but usually only post when I think I've got something worth saying.

Good to see you guys are around. I haven't been doing much on any of my bikes either. Winter I usually work on them but have been too busy with other stuff so far and the shop is cold unless I fire up the heat.

Been skiing for the past week

G'day.I'm still alive much to many people's disappointment, but I don't get on here much any more .about every week I check in

Still around, just buried in snow. Sometimes I dig out a path to the shop and look at the cocooned motorcycles. The only warmth is the glow of their battery minders.

I have done just about everything to my America I want to. I am going to change the oil and install Progressive springs in the front end this spring. Other than that I just ride her every chance I get. I have not taken the time to figure out how to post pics on here since Photo Bucket went to crap.

I have not done much with 65 Bonneville since Chris got hurt and Covid came. Chris is doing well. He will never be who he was, but he has a future.

Great news, Billy

Good to hear he is doing well.

Hello

Here in northwest CT, snow ice just winter in New England.
If March is warm could go riding depends how much snow is left near the highway.
The runoff is full of calcium chloride, bad for cars and motorcycles.
Till then stay safe, 32 days till SPRING, CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Hi Billy if you set up a Free Flickr account you can post the same way as you/we did with photobucket. If you go to Other Bikes you will see a photo of me sitting astride the new BMW R9 that I posted as a test to see if it worked.You can also set up Albums of photos and then get a link to post so others can see all the photos. I have set up albums for travels to Mexico and India this way.

Hi guys from beautiful down town Bribie Island....just after 10pm and lovely 27 degree Celsius
Dont know how you guys deal with the cold,i freeze when we get down to single figure degrees

We’re still getting through the cold months and I for one am really looking forward to Summer riding again! You live on a beautiful island, I read it’s mostly a national park — sounds like an awesome place. Good place to ride?

Still here.. Just not much to share these days. Hopefully I will have a bit more time on my hands pretty soon so we shall see what happens then.

Lets take Flickr for a spin

Joe you are my hero

I'm not on that often any more. It's amazing what can happen to a site when the motorcycle the site's named after is no longer made. Add to that some of the key members are no longer around like FriarJohn, Frank and Keith to name a few, doesn't help. There were a lot of requests at one time for help addressing the common issues these bikes had over the years and I enjoyed exercising my mental synapsis trying to help... (didn't always work). Not a lot of requests any more. So I join in to see what you guys are saying and doing. Me, I'm still stuck in my home town, frozen until..... sigh...... spring hits hopefully early this year. The last couple of years the wife and I have headed on down to Florida. Last year I bought a covered trailer and towed the Rocket south too. This year.... Covid sucks.

I've got to get another America or early Speedy. Love my Rocket though.

An America or Speedmaster would be much easier to ride for an old man like you.

Hi Roadie
Oh so true its a beautiful place,a bit flat bout lots of round abouts so not a complete waste....
And yes mostly national park beaches to drive and a inland track across the island,a great way to spend the day
