K11 Owners Group

Flying Duck

ride up and down Hood Canal. Winter will soon be upon us in the Great Northwet. The forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday was pretty good so I took the long way up to the cabin yesterday and came back today. The weather today was amazing. The red and black motobrick was very happy to be out and about again. It was jealous that I took the green motobrick to Idaho and Montana last month.

I'll post some pictures soon.

Here's a teaser pic. I rode Kato up to the point and took a poser shot with the Pt. Townsend-Keystone ferry in the background.

Here's the pics:

New and old Tacoma Narrows bridges

Kato on the water:

I thought this was a seagul when I too the picture.
But it looks like an owl to me. Question

It was a little overcast on Tuesday but nice nontheless.

The motobrick ready for action

The Whistling Oyster Very Happy

I haven't had this camera too long. Started playing
with the ISO setting at sunset:

Sunset

There's always a big spider in the sink at the cabin

It was chilly when dusk came on. I learned that you
shouldn't sell your electric vest before the jacket liner
you ordered shows up.

Nothing a nice fire won't cure though.

A New York steak smothered in onion rings

Sunrise on the Olympic Mountains

A great blue heron flying along the water

Mystery Bay

The red and black motobrick was happy to be
out of the garage

Mmmm..... waffles....

Some forest rats wading on the beach

Part of the reason for this ride was to test some recent mods:

Mounted the TomTom:

Pretty easy with a handlebar mount and a square cut out of the dash pad:

The K1100RS icon:

My new turn signal mirror LEDs:

Machined aluminum oil filler:

Low fuel light converted to sidestand warning light:

The ride home back down Hood Canal

I could even see MT. Rainier in the distance:

Liliwaup Country Store: (Pronounced Lilly-wop)

Here's their old gas pump:

Fall colors

Punkins for sale:

Panorama shot:

That is all. Carry on....

Great pictures. I like the stone guard on your belly pan and mirrors. I have it on the belly pan but not the mirrors. Looks nice.

that is a beauty of a ride report...

it looks like you dont take for granted the beauty and the serenity of the place... especially with all the critters you got roaming around...

that red and black motobrick is a fine specimen of making it yours...

Awesome report... Thanks for sharing, although your waffle breakfast looked like a beer and a shot on the side (selective vision on my part, I'm sure)... Got to keep those calories up for you skinny folk Laughing
