Real nice looking Thuxtonized Bonnie Black! You lucky dog! No, not because of your bike, I have a Black too, but because I see snow on the grounds!
You see, down South, at sea level, it fuckin HOT! And extremely humid! Why I'd bet that ain't even mesh your wearing is it? I start sweating bout the same time I'm buckling my half helmet on these days. Why last Saturday, a group of us went down to Yamassee, SC and the blazing pockets of air we rode through felt like when you open the oven up to check on a pizza, I know most of the riders on this site are suffering the intense summer heat and you show a picture of your fantastic bike enjoying riding with a background of snow covered peaks, Well Sir, you just invoked, jealousy!
Anyway, Welcome to THE Forum.
A picture of my destination last Saturday. The Sheldon Church Ruins. First burned to the ground by the Brits during the Revolutionary War then rebuilt and the the son of a bitch Sherman did it the second time while passing through back in 1865. This is now a historical site.

Yeah Jdub the riding up here at 9,600 feet is pretty good right now, all though today at 7 AM it was 46 degrees! I don't envy anyone in that pizza oven hotness, but I am going to wish the riding season was a bit longer up here once the snow starts to fall again.

Rich - Keep in touch. Glad to take a ride around Summit County some time.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Tough looking ride. I miss the mountains of the west being on the East Coast the last decade. Used to ride to Sierra Blanca 12,000 ft in New Mexico.

I was out on the Scram a few days ago, and the asphalt road I was riding on was actually soft enough you could feel it through the handlebars!
But October here is greatness!

That is one uber bad-a$$ looking ride, Alobar! Did you have the bike with the stock dual exhaust and if so, did you notice any difference in the handling with the weight loss of the 2 in 1?

LOL!! Spoken like a true southerner. I kinda admired Sherman who chose to whip the rebels by taking away their ability to fight rather than kill everyone (like Grant)

MMasz I didn't ride the bike with the stock exhaust so I can't comment to that.

Those are the risers!

And lastly they are definitely decals. I like the one on the tank I think it looks ok, but I think the "Bonneville" decals on the side panels look cheap and not so good. Going to remove them eventually.
