Red looks pretty good in the fall colors

[Dirt_Dad]

Riding around VA and WV yesterday. Still not at peak, but probably my last ride until we're past peak.

Great scenery, bike does look good in that setting! Not too fond of wet leaves on asphalt.

Very Nice DD. Here in the desert we barely have leaves changing. Was over 90F today. At higher altitudes we have aspens changing colors and even dropping leaves. Thanks for sharing. I miss having four seasons. Used to live in the PNW.

Nice pics Dirt Dad, I am not usually a red bike guy but this red does look good. I took a ride up North today and found some nice color changes.

Very nice. I need to get to the Sierra for some Fall color.

Very nice, George. Your colors look farther along. We should have that color in about 2 weeks...which will make my daughter very happy.

Nice colors, Jon - bike and foliage. Hope you get the right weather and colors combo for the wedding.

Nice photos! All my riding this weekend in SE Kentucky was in the fog, so I didn't shoot any photos. Sure had fun, though.

Thanks, Harrison. I'm looking forward to it, but must admit, I'm also looking forward to having it in the rear view mirror.

It's all good. Less than 2 weeks to go.

Well... hopefully sometime soon you look into the rearview mirrors and you see me trying to keep up with the new fast red Tenere!!

Looking great with the yellow leaves DD. And it got you out of the house and away from focus for a while.

I would enjoy that, too. It is quicker than the last one.

I suspect that was my last out of the house for a couple of weeks...at least for a ride with any real miles. It was a perfect day to ride.

Apparently I'm already getting rusty. Stalled the bike twice Saturday morning. I'd like to blame it on the early not broken in stalling issue that I've experienced in the past with the Teneres, but it has over 3500 miles and that seems a bit late for that issue. I'll blame me for now.

Stalling could be pappy of the bride blues! Glad you had a little sanity therapy Jon.



Snowflake took me on a little leaf peep ramble too. Colors at all stages; one watershed nearly all the leaves were gone and in others nearing peak and some mostly still green.

I dont know if conditions were similar but I stalled mine a couple times when stopped on some loose gravel. I tried to take off quick as to leave my mark and the traction control kicked in as I was taking off and after the second stall I turned off the traction control and all was good Left my mark and now just have to remember to turn it off when riding in dirt.

Looked like a nice ride. I'm a bit surprised to see Snowflake in one piece. I thought it was going to be used to help create a super DR650.

My stalls happened on pavement at a red light and stop sign. I thought I had a bit too much play in the throttle cable. Got home and corrected that. Hoping that will help me avoid blocking traffic in the future.
