Not a damn thing , today we have 3 inches of wet, slushy glop on the roads. Perfect weather to take the Subaru to work for a change.

Over my sunrise coffee , I looked the bike over and contemplated what I 'should' do to it today .
Being as it was 29° at the time , I wasn't really in much of a hurry to do anything .
It'll get to the sunny upper 70s this afternoon . So , after I take a nice little nap , while it warms up , I think I'll go for a bit of a ride .
That'll be a 'test' ride after the work I recently performed .

Today I managed to yank myself away from my studies long enough to return my recyclables to the Target in Branson West. It was in the high 50's which melted most of the snow, but I still had to be cautious in the shady wet spots in the twisties. Fortunately, we don't get much sand anywhere because the snow that was almost gone today had only been here since Saturday. Rain/snow tomorrow, then back in the icebox for the weekend. Perfect weather for getting part one of my business plan for my class finished and making another dent in the tax stuff.

Yep - a good ride will make you feel that way.Traction Good.. Bike Good.. Life Good..
Today , I finished the mechanical portion of my FA50 'overhaul' .
That consisted of replacing the rear drive seal and main bearing , replacing the business O ring in the AFV and installing a new piston , rings , wrist pin and bearing after a decent cylinder hone .
I guess I musta done something right , as the bike started purring on the second kick .

That looks like so much fun!View attachment 72252

can you spot the KTM that hit the snowbank at about 20 miles per hour
Nice day for a 30 mile ride to breakfast and then the long way home, It even got slightly above freezing in the heat of the day. Roads are clear, plenty of snow on grass and dirt but not a flake remaining on anything paved.
Wearing a little extra clothing and riding sure beats sitting inside looking out the window wishing the winter away.

You need to park both bikes in one car slot or be sure to park in the middle of two if you take two. Like your wife's bike is parked at the outside is asking for trouble. Just sure as heck someone in one of those four wheel motorcycles we see everywhere will try parking it the leftover space. Park so only another bike can get in there or like you did taking up most of the space even though her bike doesn't need it.
Just rec'd a pair of IRC NR77 tires for my little Suzuki . But , it's only in the mid 50s . That's way too cold to be trying to mount tires on anything . It'll be up in the 70s in a couple days . I can wait .
Good reviews , the lack of other tire availability and the fact that the current mounted tires are sidewall and tread cracked prompted my purchase . The old tires are only about 12 years old with daily miles and the wear bars are showing . They just don't make 'em like they use to .
The NR77 tread design is a bit too modern for my taste , but ...

When are you joining the adventure bike community Mike?
Nothing. Parked them all in the garage and went to our beach house for the weekend. Will ride all of them next week to keep the batteries charged....kicking back on the front patio, looking at the ocean, JB in hand....not a bad life.
