'Busa
Usually custom sportbikes are over done, with garish paint and a 300mm tire, but this one looks just right.

November
A beautiful November 1 here in Indiana for some riding. I took advantage of it and put some miles down. Hopefully we'll get some more days like this before winter hits. Usually we get some nice days through December.
Also, that time of the year to begin winterizing the bikes. I did the GS and the SR, after riding each today. Rotella T for the GS, and HD 20-50 for the SR. The Sportster and Triumph S4 get M1. The Triumph is my main winter ride (fuel injected, heated grips and some wind protection), so doesn't get put away until the road salt gets put down.

Re-cycled parts
My GS850 with the stock front fender from my SR500. I didn't care for this fender on the SR, but it's just right on the GS.

Return of the SR...
...hopefully. There have been rumors of a fuel injected SR400 in the works, and I saw on the SR500 forum that Yamaha will be displaying an FI SR400 at an upcoming show. Surely this means a return to production, and maybe export models someday. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Fall Ride
Back from a great ride today. The day started out foggy, and seemed to take forever to burn off, but when it finally did, a perfect autumn day. This time of the year has some of the best riding weather, and unfortunately winter isn't all that far away, so best to enjoy it while it's here.
Many fields are already being harvested, or soon will be like these soybeans. I'm really enjoying some of the recent work I've done to the SR500. It is a very competent back road burner.
