    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          On a clear day this is what's in the background of the first photo.

              going stir crazy

              I am waiting for the roads to dry here. It is windy and the sun is coming out so it shouldn't be long, maybe noon. Wanna get out for a little ride before the year is up.
              Anyone else?

                No riding for awhile for me. 2" of snow and still falling. We're getting our White Christmas a week late, for New Year's weekend.

                  71 is it?
                  27F and spitting snow here....
                  I was down in your hill country riding Billy Ricks' GS not too long ago.

                  Maybe it's time for me to move south??

                    The same can be said of some of the women I've dated.

                        I got out for a while, rode to the middle of nowhere, took a few pics and came home. The wind today is tiring.

                        Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                          Trevor,

                          Regarding the chain, it probably is a little loose, but I do the sit on bike method of slack, with the suspension weighted with my girth.

                          I haven't found many tight spots with Regina chains. This one has about 6K on it.
                          GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

                            You can't fool us....you went out to check on your still in that shed, didn't you? Whipping up a batch of old genuine Caintuck juice for New Year's!

                              I took the old girl out for a shake-down this evening. Was right around 50, and I was ill-prepared (OK, I had the liner in but that didn't do much good). Came back cold but happy! It's not the best idea to ride after dusk around here thanks to all of the deer, but what the hey...

                              Down at the new river. Sorry my crappy phone camera couldn't do it justice. You might be able to make out a kayaker out there. He's braver than I am!
