    I did not. I will probably drive in all next week though. I have been driving pretty regularly though this year. My wife and I are looking forward to nicer weather and some cycle camping fun!!!

    Not this morning, but I might tomorrow and Friday, definitely will be out on it this weekend.
    Just have to cut down branches that the snow broke, get a few more leaves out of the yard, fertilize and treat the yard for crabgrass..........Never mind, my priorities are right!!! I am going riding!

    Maybe we will see some of you on the road this weekend.
    Remember that the cages aren't used to us being out there yet so be cautious and be safe!!

    Yes, today I removed the cover, disconnected the battery charger, checked air pressure in tires, then started up my F3, what a great sound after 6 months it started right up. After a quick check of break and signal lights i took off for the first ride of the season, what a great feeling. love it!

    I would rather ride than do yard work
    My grass is always crabby but hey it' green
    Can't ride till I get new rear bearings in the mail
    getting new rear tire [General Altimax ]from Discount tire
    I ordered it from the store so they did not are as long as I took the rim apart
    Bearings and seals are coming from Power Sports Warehouse.com
    They are much cheaper than dealer and far cheaper than Cheap Cycle Parts
    I'll be back on the road this weekend

    Default start of the 2016 season

    Been commuting since Tuesday; was 32 degrees that morning & 37 today. Have to start cutting lawn grass this week, but predicted for FOUR days of full sun!!!!!!!
    That doesn't happen often in this abysmally overcast state; 56 day of sun / year!!! But it's great to be back in the saddle again. (did I hear echos of Gene Autry??)
