Well, I think it’s about that time. I just have to pick up an oil filter so I can change the oil and I’ll have my rolling therapy machine on the road once more. I should be able to get that done this coming weekend and may very well be riding to work the next week.
Avoider of the white death.
People are beginning to think I’m dead or have just simply vanished, but I have not. I’m just really really tired of all this snow and I would very much like for it to all go away.
I hit up the annual bike show the weekend past and even that was a bore. Same stuff as last year. After one tour of the place I was ready to go home. Not only that, but I’m finding that there’s nothing out there (bike wise) that really interests me. I’d still like to have a Sportster 48, but as “cheap” as it is I can’t justify the cost.
I guess I’m “stuck” with my baby. Which is no complaint at all, considering that I think it’s the last great cruiser made by Honda anyway. What’s up with all the Fury model crap they are putting out? Turns my stomach.
Well, at least we are more then half way out of the dark. Soon enough I’ll be putting that battery back in and cruising down the road. For everyone else feeling the same as I do, hang in there…it’s almost over.
It’s been a depressing and maddening week due to weather and other problems, but one ride makes it all go away. It doesn’t even matter that it’s a ride to work in –2C (28F) with 50kph (31mph) winds. The coldest windiest day on bike is far better then the warmest day in car.
There’s no snow sticking so I’m not giving up my riding season just yet and that fairing is just the thing to keep the cold from seeping through my leathers. It doesn’t keep all the wind off my hands, but I can make it to work with plenty of feeling left in my fingers.
and that’s an understatement.
The rain started last Thursday evening and hasn’t stopped. It’s been either misting or down pouring with strong winds every day since. It doesn’t look like we’ll get relief until Wednesday and even that’s iffy.
It’s been a crappy fall (I believe I’ve mentioned that), but there is some beauty around.
