    I took advantage of the sporadic sunshine today and washed some bikes. Connie is still a bit buried and will get pulled out tomorrow.

    Thanks!! Yea, it gets the heart beating a little faster!

    Thanks!!

    Thank You!! It ran really good! Not good enough to keep up with the bored out 540cc TTs. Handling wasn't to bad. The aged and hard Carlisle tire on the front didn't do to good in the corners. I need to spend some money and get a fresh sticky tire. Hope tomorrow goes as well.

    A19, The right tool for the job is good right up until the time you have to wash all of them, change the oil in all of them and buy new tires for all of them, etc....... For some reason if your herd is anything like mine they all want new tires at the same time. :lol3

    We just got back. I guess you could say she was "rode hard and put away wet".

    Hope your riding gear is. It was freakin' dumping at our place. Didn't look much like riding weather to me. You must have REALLY wanted to get out and go for a spin. :huh

    We didn't let a silly little rainstorm stop us. Did a BBQ down at St. Marie's at Xmas hills.

    Did a little 7 mile jaunt with the dogs and the ladies...

    These dogs ran the whole 7 miles and are pooped tonight.

    My buddy Dylan and I at the end of the ride, soaked to the bone. Best to have a fresh tire out there when its wet. There were some hill climbs that were super tough, especially with a bad tire. There was one that kicked my butt and didn't make it up.

    I didn't put my rain pants on so I got a little wet. That big fairing usually keeps me pretty dry as long as I’m moving. As usual, visibility was the biggest problem. I got license tabs yesterday and was very motivated the run some fresh gas through her since she had been sitting since last October.
