Great Day For a Ride...

60° and clear this afternoon and Rusty & Dave asked me to meet them at the FLS office to join them on a ride today. Charged the battery and thought I was ready to go.

Get the Sporty out and polished. Turn the key hit the starter button and Click, Click, Click, Click, Click, Click....

It seems my ground from the battery had come loose and is jammed in a spot not easy to get to. So after fighting with that I was able to get it started but it was too late to join the guys.

So I strapped a bag of discs to the Sporty and rode up to Loriella DGC for a quick round.

Winter is here...

30° outside and snow flurries means only one thing....

Time to work on the bike. That's right kids, time to start taking things apart and do some maintenance. Number 1 on the list is to replace the oil drain lines that old and leaking just a drop but they need to be replaced. While that is happening change the primary oil again. To keep the fluid theme going drop some fresh oil in the front forks.

I think I'll put a new front tire on while I'm at it.

Late December &....

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day were nice and warm around 60° for some afternoon riding around the area.

There were a lot of bikes out so apparently I'm not the only one that doesn't put the bike up for winter.

It will probably be the last time for a while so time to start working on the bike to get it ready for next year.
