I haven’t posted in a while now, but I have been riding. Over the Labor Day weekend I put on quite a few miles, heading out to Cow Creek, where I took the video above. It was kind of an experiment to see if I could get some better video with less vibration. I guess [...]

Riding Around Austin
By Barron in BMW F650 GS, RidingThis morning I decided that instead of heading out for a long ride, I would just ride around Austin and take it easy. It was a beautiful morning, with relatively cool temperatures. First, I hopped on the freeway (first time riding on the freeway actually!) and rode down 183 and stopped at a Starbucks for [...]

The procedure looked simple enough, and the bulbs only cost about a buck and a half each (you need four) so I decided to give it a [...]

1431 to Gloster Bend
By Barron in BMW F650 GS, Riding, UncategorizedI had a couple hours free on Saturday morning before we went camping so I took a ride out on 1431 east from Cedar Park. 1431 is supposedly one of the better motorcycle routes in Texas and the many times I’ve driven it in a car I have seen tons of motorcyclists. I knew I [...]

Makkuro Kurosuke Keychain
By Barron in BMW F650 GS, GearI needed a different keychain for the bike’s key. The first one I used was a little Japanese charm with a bell on it. It was great, but you could hear that bell jingling when riding. Next, I used a pokemon bulbasaur, but it was too big and would get stuck in the little space [...]
