Fall in Vermont

Post by Steve in VT »

I'm a sucker for fall foliage. The weather has been spotty, but I did get in a couple rides while the color is still good.

No, kid, I won't do a wheelie. I'd fall on my ass.

Nice rear view mirrors. Who makes those?

Just like a bike nut.... a guy posts some great pictures of a fall ride through beautiful country, and you notice the mirrors. :lol:

I'm okay with somebody noticing my mirrors instead of my amateur photography. The mirrors were part of then reason the bike caught my eye in the first place (that and the paint job). I had Napoleon bar-ends on my R65LS, and learned to love the excellent rear visibility. The Rizomas don't fold away like the Napoleons, but they're very nicely made and rock-solid. They're not cheap, and if they hadn't come with the bike I probably would have gone with the cheaper Napoleons.

Hello Steve,

Is that last shot Rte 100 near Warren? I think I recognized the old marble works in Middlebury in the earlier shot?

I had the same Rizomas on my Monster. Rock steady image...I could tell if the white sedan behind me was a harmless Nissan Altima or the dreaded Crown Victoria.

On another tangent, did you paint the flyscreen yourself? Any prep work before the spray? Is it lasting OK?

Thanks for the great pix.

Cheers, Tom

Great bike. Great pictures. I think I have seen my next bike if and when my R1150R wears out.
