    Very happy to get a quick ride in today, 20 miles or so with a buddy and his 85 'wing. Particularly nice to have a functioning bike again.

        Then riding though in first gear only right now



        She also learned what happens when you don't connect the ground wire of the R/R properly thus killing her battery. Fortunately, the wife was able to bring my battery from home and swap them out. I also showed her the correct way to connect the wiring to battery again.
        Wow I like the way that sound!!!

        The joy of learning to ride... At least she has a good mentor! A luxury I did not have...

          Taking advantage of this gorgeous January thaw weather and racked 50 miles on the Tuxman! Glad the sun is staying out a little bit longer. Just one more month and I'll be back on the bike daily again!
          So from the ride today:


          Finding some mud, coming off a logging trail...

          Brimmed her off with some more ethanol free premium... She may be injected but I'm still not running through a tank a gas fast enough...

          Despite the spring like surroundings... It was a gorgeous ride today... The mud was fun but damn it sucks coming home and trying not to get yelled at by the MRS. for tracking dirt!

              Funny, I have never been to the east coast. I had pictured it as a frozen snow covered wasteland until April. Glad you guys could get out....

                It used to be, but not the last several years. Thank you, global warming.

                    Trev is that snow in the mountains??? Or just houses?

                    What kind of suspension is on the rear there?

                    Enjoy the weather!

                          Blasted 50 miles out yesterday before the ice storm moved in... 30' but well worth it!



                          Very typical Vermont January day, except it was warm... Yeah warm...

                              Spent most of the afternoon on the bike today. Never left the city but had a blast riding. With the addition of the bags I can easily use the bike for work now. Just riding around doing estimates all I need is a briefcase and tape measure.
                              Popped in to say hi to my parents acrossed town. They came out and took my pic before I rode off into the sunset, hehehe.


                              No but seriously, the sunset was amazing tonight. Not to the west though, the mountains east of town glow at sunset.



                              Oh, and I had to see if anyone actually went to the local Cycle Gear for their bike night thing. It was just over freezing by then with 30 mile an hour winds so just a bit chilly out there. Turns out that I had the best looking bike in the parking lot!

                                From that picture you also have the worst looking bike in the lot.







                                Just kidding. Your bike is a very nice looking bike.
