    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.

          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.

                I was able to get out on the bikes this past weekend. With temperatures in Mid 50's-60's and with brilliant sunshine it was a perfect weekend for riding. Sunday afternoon I spotted a Hot Air Balloon, I decided to track it. We crossed paths about three times with yelling and waving to each other. I'm getting off work at noon today, I have a appointment with "The Doctor" maybe I'll head south to the Ohio River. Oh, "The Doctor" is the name of the FJR... I always feel better after a appointment with The Doctor ...🌞

                  Gorgeous morning ride couldn't sleep so left for a sunrise spin.



                  bit brisk, Frost built up on the bike in the AM


                  Than spent the bulk of the day Turning the Monkey into a 3 wheeler, equipped with snow tires!

                  I took my 6 month pregnant wife for a spin around the yard per her request. She was laughing the whole time. She dismounted and said, "I'm so glad our daughter is going to be joining for us on this wild ride" While she hugged her belly bump... Life is good and motorcycles just make it better.

                    Normally just call it a lean-to shed, but they can be all sizes.

                      Sunny and 15C [59F], so rare for this time of the year.
                      Out for three hours going absolutely nowhere.

                        Nice Sunday mountain ride yesterday. Not quite the shot I was looking for to submit for pic of the week so thought I might as well post it here.

                            STOP! Too Cool-Too Cute! I'm giggling helplessly and I'm not even in it.

                              This picture in post #11322 is not showing up on the forum. And we NEED to see a pic of this CBX. I may be able to help with posting pics. Let me know. Or follow the link in my signature about using Imgur.
