Just 40degF and 15mph wind.
Got bikes out for garage spring cleaning.
Did air up tires.
Did start the GK.
But I had been out in cold last night and a couple other times in recent days, and just didnt feel like it today (which kinda puzzles me).
Should be able to find a 45-50 deg day for a March ride.
Lol....having a dirt bike is a must here on the island.My buddy sent this to me today
Handy. Dirt riding and cleaning at the same time.
Today 46degF today and calm.
Did go for ride.
All suited up, out for over an hour, and didnt get anywhere close to cold.
Went into town and Stopped by beach, just cuz this time of year can get in the campground close to the pier, and is not at all crowded.
THen went for ride out of town.
By time got home it was near 50degF
With the warmer weather yesterday(50? up to 62?), I was finally able to go for longer ride. About 225 miles.When I got home I noticed that my shoulders and neck were a little achy. I think that will go away the more I ride.
I hope so, because I'm going on a 6-7,000 mile ride in May! Ending at the Brown County Rally then home.
Said goodbye to my youth today and bought a proper Dad-bike.
Still have a Hayabusa to pose on so at least I have that going for me....
Trevor had nothing at all to do with that, right?

Congrats on the new ride.

Because he wouldn't sell me his high-miler at a deep discount? Maybe.
More to do with the rave reviews that the bike is getting though, plus a personal rave review from my friend John in Australia (who is the current owner of my old '82 Katana 1100). There was also the constant prodding from my mid-life body which just couldn't take any length of time leaning over the bars of a sport(ish)bike anymore... the battle between my teen-brain screaming "HAYABUSA!!!!" and my neck and back muscles just screaming was an epic one. I guess I'm finally mature enough to tell my brain to grow up. Just don't tell that to the Hayabusa that survived the weekend's garage purge.

Ha! That day I was... it was just an excuse to ride the orange 'Busa and who doesn't like looking at pretty classic-style motorcycles? It did reinforce the fact that despite the top-box and touring screen I'd just installed on the bike, I wasn't going to be able to actually ride anywhere distant on the thing... growing old isn't for the faint of heart. Or back. I'd been making excuses to not ride over the past number of years but the truth is that I just didn't have the right bike to comfortably pile miles on... the new Katana was ergo-friendly enough but its tiny fuel tank limited its use, and the other bikes just wrecked my body before I could actually get anywhere.
Now I'm going for a ride. The sun is shining, I booked the day off of work and I installed new heated grips on the GT last night that I need to test out.

Poutine Brisket
Working an insane amount of hours on jobs and on my house. Hopng April will be the last month of this nonsense. I just keep moving the battery tender from the GS to the FJR in hopes of getting out soon. The battery died a while back on the GS after sitting for a month. I opened the choke, rolled 30 feet to the end of my driveway and popped the clutch in second. Started right up. Only rode a mile or two though, just to the house we're renting.
