I learned to like it. Cant ride so what I do is rip the bike apart & Check every thing. This year the engine is getting done. Last year it was a drive belt, clutches, brakes & bushings. Next winter it will be tranny & steering head bearings. That way, I am always with my bike & when it's all apart, It isn't as bad because I know I can't ride it until it's all back together.

One of these years I'll get electricity and heat in my garage. -31 right now, so the old gal is just sitting there waiting.

Rode today, and will get out tomorrow. This time of year, the dry days are few and far between so you jump on them.

It sure does.. and it's not even here officially for 3 weeks yet and we are just at the beginning of it. Long assed winters here in the Black Hills..
We could go through April easily w/this winter ****.
Seen it snow here at the beginning of May, but usually by the middle of May winter is over.
Then you have to deal with all the F'in gravel on the road as in caution.

Just getting my part **** ready for the next move(s)
But WTF, my spanish ain't so good and where spanish is prevalent, the wages ain't so good, soooo I'll just stay where I'm at..
