    Default Ryker ride through Moses Lake Wa.

    Took a quick spin through the city of Moses Lake, WA. Discovered a lost pick up truck delivery driver, friends of Jesus, a gas pump Messiah and an old marijuana grow facility. Fun day..............

    Greg, based on your videos it seems pretty quiet behind that windscreen (even at interstate speed). What is it, and do you look over it or through it?

    Another great video.

    RE: Signal warning lights. So far I have found two of them, both located on HWY 65, south of Branson MO a few miles. Highway speeds there are 65 mph and the cross roads are a bit blind and you come upon them when going over a hill. They also let you know when the lights are going to change...giving opportunity to slow down safely.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I had a business where I repaired certain machines for the food service industry and called on markets and restaurants every 6 months. Because I started in another territory that was more profitable, I stopped going to central and eastern Washington about 1999. Seeing you video, that little burg sure has grown in the ensuing 20 years. Thanks for posting it.

    It's the F4 Custom Ryker windshield. It's made from Optical grade polycarbonate verse cast acrylic so there is no distortion when viewing the road through the windshield. There is almost zero wind buffeting from shoulder to shoulder, waist to top of helmet. I look through it as I ride. I really like it.

    I think they are a great idea. Of course on the flip side of the coin are those folks, when they see the lights come on figure it gives them an extra couple of seconds to blow though.

    I was in US Army Boot Camp at Fort Brag NC back in 1969 with a guy from Moses Lake WA. It was the only time I'd ever heard of the place. "Henry" said it was a little farm town. Maybe so back then (50 years ago). Thanks Greg for the reminder.

    Cool! I live in Mukilteo. I'll have to ride east sometime. We've got a Spyder RT. (My "other" ride is a Suzuki Boulevard S40). My son lives in Pullman.
