1st phase was getting bike ready,get a few short rides in. Done

2nd phase is getting winter damage yard clean up done so i don't feel guilty about riding. Tweaked lawn mower carb and got it running. Always a PITA. Got a few, close by the house, need immediate cutting. The other 3 3/4 acres is getting close. Couple trees down clean up in progress. Been at it since 7am. Taking a break.

Been frustrating because between work and rainey days off haven't been able to do squat. The one day off 2 1/2 weeks ago and it was sunny i was sick as a dog. Trees laid there all this time bugging the crap out of me. Frustrating. Swept out garage and barn when it was raining on days off.

Dang riding season too short. Need to get out of here, soon.

Hope all youse guys are doing well.

I recently got into bikes and what not. I have not type of experience although I did ride an older Honda 200. From my extensive researching I’ve read that the Suzuki 300/400 was a good beginner bike and so was the yami R3. But recently I was told the CBR 500 would be a good in between bike. I don’t want a bike that’ll get boring within a few month or years. Any advice??

I'm real sick but still need to get bike to the dealership before i leave for NC Saturday.

Cover off, unplug tender. Wipe off condensation which occured today because garage not heated,cool inside and 71 warm outside. She fired right up.

Getting off dirt road was exciting. Where i wanted to go and where the ruts wanted me to go weren't always in the same direction.

I did a little backroads,a little interstate and a little in town before i headed to the dealership. In town was a little sketchy, was busy and people drive like they got to get some where in a hurry or they'll die.

Once at dealership there was nobody there so in and out. I been knowing service manager and the head mechanic for years. I'm in good hands. And they drove me home.

Not feeling like one with my bike yet and not...

you're probably that guy LOL

What glue can I use to bond metal to the ice pack on my ultra classic? Any suggestion would really help.
