Afternoon Nature Tour

Do©Hawk · 11-16-2023, 09:55 PM

It was a real nice afternoon and I had to take advantage so I took a ride around to some local natural areas.

That looks a lot like my Hawk, only mine is not a DLX. I give credit were credit is due, and I must say that's a brilliant idea, carrying a skateboard, in case of a flat , just pull the flat tire up on the skate board, and away you go, of course it may require pushing if it's the rear that's flat, but at least you could still ride in style going down hills. LOL

SKATE OR DIE! Loved that video game, 720*.

Question is, do you ride to skate or do you skate to ride? Them's a thinker there.

A buddy and I took a ride today. He's got a TT250. We rode about a 45mile loop 60/40 paved/dirt roads.

Do©Hawk · 02-10-2024, 06:00 PM

It was near 60° today. Had to ride. I rode through 2 state parks and miles of back roads in between. Wish I could have taken some more pictures, but due to the weather, everyone else was out too and it was near impossible to get a shot without Randos getting in the way.

Do©Hawk · 03-13-2024, 06:28 PM

Too nice to stay at work today, so I cut out early, got a couple things done then went for a ride. Fortunately, a few miles in any direction takes me somewhere scenic.

Do©Hawk · 08-17-2024, 02:44 PM

Got a ride in today. Stopped at this bridge on Kennedy Rd, in McConnells Mill State Park.

Cleland Rock Scenic Vista was a great spot for the Hawk with it's rough dirt 2 track through a farm field to a scenic vista.

nice,would have rode today,but i was changing my 3rd front tire. Rim is completly covered in rust on inside of wheel i .had to clean and paint. Bet it dose not last for a 4th tire.2021 TbR7 with 10,000 miles. Thought engine would go 1stmwhats yours look like. Thanks

I have close to 3000 miles on the Hawk. I've had the rear tire off twice to replace spokes. I do recall a couple spots of surface rust, but nothing significant. I haven't had any reason to remove my front tire yet. Is your back rim in the same condition as the front?

buzz · 08-18-2024, 12:41 PM

No it is not,and never had any problems with the spokes.
