    Harley Almost didn't start this morning... Might need to start taking the FZ again. HAHA


    She fired after some coaxing. Made it to work and it ran like an animal on the way in!

    No Snow yet... I'm still riding!!!

    Been at work for over 2.5 hours and the bike is still covered in frost

        I think Mine was shocked when I tried starting it this AM. Bike only had 2500 miles on it when I got it a few weeks ago. Now it has 3500 miles. Not used to being run every day that's for sure HAHA

          Probably running the thick 20W50 molasses in that V-Twin... might want to go with a lighter oil if you're planning a lot of cold weather riding on it.

            Yeah likely... I know it's a full synthetic in it which means it won't gum up like conversational. I Usually run a 0W-40 or 5W-40 in everything this time of year... Almost time to pull out the TUX anyway, snow is in the forecast!

                I think you need to find a more open spot to park. There doesn't appear to be much of an angle for the sun to beam down on it.

                  Nice day for a ride in NM. We visited a new spot in the Jemez Mountains. This link is not my video but the same spot called Gilman tunnels. Steep canyon walls make it pretty dark but here's a couple of pics.



                  Two tunnels are hard to get in one pic but my wife figured it out.



                  Such colorful mountains. Man, this camera doesn't do it justice.

                    Man I'm jealous. It was rainy and 35 degrees all day yesterday here in Ann Arbor. And it won't be long before that will look mild.

                        51 and mostly sunny here now. Winter doesn't hinder us from riding yet.

                        Thanks, I'll pass that along to the photographer, haha. She enjoys these rides to the mountains. Desert does nothing for her so I'll head out alone on those rides.

                          Rode the VanVan to my work to pick up some fluids for my latest project bike... it's starting to look like fall out here on the coast!



                          Looking forward to posting pictures here of the Katana once it's up and running. Maybe it'll be the subject of my annual Christmas Day Ride! Worst case, maybe my annual New Year's Day ride? I'd really better get my butt in gear on it!

                            Nice picture. Yah, does look like fall (is well past that here).

                                I had a backpack on and I'll tell you, by the time I got home with 5L of oil plus a bottle of brake fluid strapped to my back, I was in agony! I was going to take my truck but it wasn't raining (for the first time in I can't remember how long) so the bike was calling to me quite loudly.

                                Worth the pain.
