It's looking like a Speed Triple kind of day.


Could hit 60 today. The last time it hit 60 around here was November last year.

I thought about it for a second! But ultimately I didn't go. I was scared! Plus I thought 50 degrees fahrenheit was too chilly for the 1st ride on the Speedy especially w/ those brand new tyres.

Rode to work today and now I am headed to bike night. I'll post some pics later. Tomorrow I'm off to KC to get the 600 miles service done at 820 miles.

Not sure when I put the Tiger away, but I cleaned it.  It is now dirty after 34.6 miles.  If the rear tire did not slide a few times while going through turns there would have been more miles.

Say it did not happen since there is no picture posted, but I know better and had the more important job of working a throttle.

I was just checking prices.  It's funny that they are cheaper than the PR3's and Angel Gt's in the size I need.

Even though the temperature was 54 Monday the wind made it feel colder than you would think.

Rode to Fred's in Burlington for lunch then out to the kettles.

All i can say is Boundry rd. is all kinds of SUCK. It looks like they coverd the road with all the sand from lake michigan. And there was still ice patches to. I don't see the road being any fun till June.

Lunch.

Put a glorious 60 miles on the Dorso today before returning and changing the oil. :) 

Tons of salt on the roads - need a good rain.

40's the last two days, but with my schedule the last couple weeks I have not had time to get the bikes prepped.   :facepalm:

20's tomorrow, single digits Thursday.  At least the sleds are ready to roll!   :bigok:

where ya going? tell us, we are living vicariously!
We had two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
