The same for me and the battery. The engine hasn't failed to start but just hesitates a bit longer and longer at that first compression stroke.

Washed my seventy-two & got ready for a ride to Borrego Springs, CA tomorrow. Thoughts & prayers for those in cold and/or wet climates right now. Will channel positive bike-karma.

I finally got the garage cleaned out enough to get my car in it. The XLX and the old Honda are pretty close together now, but they get along with each other pretty well…​​​​​​​

i had to leave a walkway between them and a built-in work bench and shelves not visible to the left in the pic with the bikes. We recently bought the house and I thought the garage was pretty big until I tried squeezing everything in it.
