Lately when I've been riding, even just to work, I find myself in this happy place and just want to keep riding. Kinda funny you know. Does anyone else ever feel this?
yup, tis great aint it. even after ridin to denmark fully loaded up with a pillion i didnt wanna get off. 8)
I used to commute to work on my bike a lot more than I do now. I take the dog to work with me now in the truck. I used to be so calm, centered and focused. Now? :evil: :evil: :evil: :!:

we just got back from a 3 day road trip , Mrs M rode her own steamer and the pup rode in my hacked steamer , the dog loved it !
Got a link to the hacked steamer thread? My google-fu is broken this morning.
When I rode to Alaska last year, I spent day after day on my DR650 and certainly got "in the zone". I used to hate deep gravel, but after riding so much of it, day after day, I just learned to stay on the throttle and let the bike float through it.
My confidence with the Tiger is growing slowly but surely. On pavement, I am really comfortable on the bike, but it has taken a bit of adjustment to get used to the extra weight on loose surfaces. I had been thinking about getting a smaller CC dual sport bike to do a ride on the Continental Divide Trail next summer, but as I get more skilled with the Tiger, I am starting to think I should just use it. I know guys ride that route on big Beemers. We'll see how the rest of the summer unfolds.
Ride the beast it's FUN!

no thread about it ........
picked up a california sidecar freindship 1 off craigslist last year it had no mounts and needed a new top and a tire and the lights replaced .
scored it for 600 bucks
made my own mounts and had to make a subframe for tigger 3 to hang the chair off .
