Dickies make great pants and shirts. I used to wear their stuff when I was a bouncer, and it held up extremely well to all manner of abrasion.

Nice!!! We're moderating to weather like yours, 'cept we got salt spread on all the the roads. Bad idea to have salt splattered all over aluminum parts.
Hope to go riding xmas day and this week!

Oof that road brine is no fun... Sounds like the Cooley is getting a Christmas day bath!
Merry Christmas guys!!!
Considering the possibility myself tomorrow.
Not that the conditions will be so good (low to mid 30s tomorrow, sloppy wet snow last night), but wife working tommorow, so I have the day to myself.
Oh, not the GK. The GK doesnt take any chance with the road salt.
THe Shadow 500.

Thanks guys, it certainly gets a lot of use now...very happy I bought it.
Might have to get a pair of those pants for when I have to wear slacks...normal slacks don't exactly inspire confidence!
Merry Christmas to everyone!

A story my Dad told–Christmas eve the BOSS called in, message to everybody in office: “I'll be in at 5:00PM to wish everybody a merry Christmas” [S-O-a-B]

Yep, had day to myself.
What to do.
Played round of disc golf, went to Christmas day church, and then played another round of disc golf. (kinda easy when both at same place).
Then, got home, just a degree or two above freezing.... good enough.... got Shadow 500 out of back corner of garage, and got ready to go for ride.
Forgot one of the first rules of gearing up, get key our of pocket first.
THen about ready to go, Forgot another of the first rules of gearing up, get ear plugs out of pocket.
Then about ready to go, forgot another rule of gearing up, got to bathroom first.
Then about ready to go, and see that I havent put the licence plate tab on yet. THought I should do that even though have had several rides without it already.
Then about ready to go,
and think that maybe I should shovel away end of the drive way where the plow pushed back the shoulder into driveway . . . . naw, it will be okay, dont want another delay.
Made it out of the driveway okay.
Headed out of town, along the Grand River.
Then back into town,
saw this. Stopped and let bike idle for a while, while took picture, maybe occupant might see that actaully was a bike out
and down by the beach.
Had a good hour and a half ride. (would have been 20 minutes without the heated gloves).
Comming back in the driveway, make it okay, just was not going in direction I was intending... but made it.

Another example of "SOME PEOPLE ARE WEIRD"
Another example of "SOME PEOPLE ARE WEIRD"
Out for my Christmas Day Ride, saw some weird folks.
Saw these guys out ice fishing (the dark spots in the distance)
Man, that looks miserable, out there on the ice, out in the open....
Jeepers, they must have gone to a lot of effort to be able to stay out there that long.
Scheesch, dont those guys have any family to spend Christmas with.
Wonder whats wrong with these guys...?
Probably some deep rooted physiological problems.

It got up to 53 degrees F today on the coast of Maine, so I took a ride down the St. George peninsula to the Marshall Point lighthouse in Port Clyde. I've been riding all through December, even though it's been colder than usual. I've lost the habit of waving to fellow bikers, simply because I never see them anymore since winter started. But today I passed a guy on a cruiser on my way home, and stuck out my hand just in time.
I might as well take this opportunity to thank everyone here who has given their time, information, and experience. I came to motorcycles about three years ago. It's been a steep learning curve. But this summer, I finished a successful top end rebuild and made a new wiring harness for my 1978 750, and I couldn't have done any of that without the help of everyone who contributes to this website. Thanks.

Hit 60 degrees Fahrenheit for quite a few hours, here in lovely central New Jersey USA on this late December day. Perfect opportunity to enjoy an unexpected " take your bike to work" day. Was especially satisfying, as the bike was runnin like a top. Got down to the 30's by nightfall, and had to put er' back in the shed. If the weather keep providing these intermittent warm days, ( which my gut tells me is likely) I may not need to winterize/store the GS for the season at all.
The weather's been amazing here (mid-70's today). If I hadn't needed to rebuild the recently purchased RS36s I installed on the 1150, I might have been riding ...
