Good thing that Tiger has the heated seat and grips, eh?

Actually looking a little better today:
I want to take the 390, but the Tiger is certainly more comfortable on cold start, 300 mile rides.

First time riding with the group today. Way larger group than I was expecting based on the AM weather.
Nice seeing folks again and meeting new folks as well. Thanks for letting me tag along.
The Blanco was muy verde today:
And Ocho was there in spirit:

It was a different guy. Glad to see the little bike carries on.
I'm the guy! Hey Jorge, I finally made it to a ride. Sorry a missed you. On the other hand I think I would have been ashamed of it's need of a wash considering how beautiful it was when I bought it from you.
I definitely pushed the limits of the bike and myself on the ride today. Thanks everyone, it was a blast.

That's normal for Texas. Rancher has little or no planning for burn and typically no way to put out fires... ”it's my land and I'll do **** well what I please". wind picks up (24 hrs later), rekindle, threatening structures other properties, call the volunteer fire department to take care of it. (County judge remains quiet to not ruffle any feathers).

wow, there you go outside the city or in city limit it get out of hand. In Austin yesterday with the strong wind under 290overpass some crap was burning black smoke from a beehive homeless palace. About burning land some control fire can be beneficial for the soil but I don't think the rancher want to hire the fire department to oversee there work most probably like you say Brian that there land the can do the **** the want.
Great! Thank you.Welcome to the forum. Here are those threads we were talking about:

You should check out Jorge's Youtube channel. That bike wasn't always that clean
I found it, great videos. I remember seeing that one video on Dan the Fireman, unbelievable. Glad you had some dirty fun on the Versys Ocho, I will never be able to match how well you took care of it but I do my best.You should check out Jorge's Youtube channel. That bike wasn't always that clean
I wasn't going to share this, but what the ****. Big bend at Christmas. Found the Versys in a foot of snow at the end of a 10 day backpacking trip. Had to dig it out and melt the ice off the throttle body with a camp stove. See attached pictures.
Heading to Sanora this weekend with the Versys and my Chinese dualsport for my bachelor party. The Hawk250 is for everyone to ride. It's a tank and soooo cheap to fix. No one else gets to ride the Versys

@Trail Boss maybe it’s time for a new thread for the monthly ride?
