Would love to go for a ride if I could just regain enough energy that I've lost from this "illness".

That's too bad, ddaniels. Hope your health keeps improving.

Today was such a nice day that I finally made my way to Kentucky for the first time this year (would go down at least a dozen times most years) and am so glad I did. Found some new roads that I hadn't ever tried before and even hit a favorite one. 235 miles later I pulled into the driveway wishing I didn't have to work tomorrow.

Wow Scott, we must have been on some of the same roads today! I rode on 25, 22 and 330 most of the afternoon on the Tracer! Hwy 25 south from Corinth has some lovely new asphalt all the way to Georgetown on it now! Took 127 south from Owenton on the way back home. (Lots of high-speed sweepers on it!)

Me and the GK (well, most of it) went for late afternoon ride.

When trying to get it started this afternoon, I was thinking of Rons statement about "....going through the carbs one more time", but then after a while it did start (and run well). Can report more on all that later.

But for now, yep, went for ride this afternoon.

Taking a risk without a headlight there Dave.

Yep. Thanks for your concern.

I did hot wire the driving lights.

Took off 75 at the Mt Zion exit then jumped on 2043, 14, 17, 491, 25, 467, 22, and back home along 536 and 177 before getting back to Ohio. So yea we might have passed each other

I went for a very short one, but my butt got wet. Do you have any tips on removing snow from the saddle?

Open the saddle, wrap a big plastic sack around it and then it all just lifts away next time.

….and your worried about riding in Texas!?

Today was my last motorcycle fun, I'll probably wait til march to be able to take it out here again.

I got it into my shed though:



Previous person who lived here sawed a hole in the wall of the sports storage attached shed (is there a more consise word for that in english) and put on hinges so she could park her bike inside. Pretty neat solution. But the ramp was slippery and so was the ground (I have a grass problem in my driveway).

I took the bike out yesterday. 3rd ride overall after a 30+ year layoff. Went around block 2X and only stalled it 1x. The main roads are going to have to wait.

I find my bike is somewhat stall prone when I ride it cold. Usually it is much more forgiving after reaching operating temp.

I am sure if you keep at it you will be back in the zone in no time. Just remember to take it easy on the throttle in the beginning. Here I don't ride in the winter and I have to be very cautious in the spring.
