Is this January ?
01/16/17 at 19:29:43
 
I'm putting lights and plug-ins on my car port , but ran out of box/conduit connectors this morning .   So , I jumped on the bike and headed to town (15 miles) and found my buddy with the old goldwing out for a ride too.   We did about 150 miles of local back-roads before the afternoon was over.  
The temperature was near 65 , and a little overcast ... really nice !  Tongue

Two weeks ago I had the wood-stove running hot for near two weeks solid !   Huh

We're due for another week of rain and mud.
They claimed northern cal is out of the drought.
Haven't found a summary of all the reservoir levels yet.

I rode the Ninja Friday to work (S40 was in the garage taken apart) and Sunday afternoon for about 100+ miles with a friend who was riding his SV650, and a short trip Monday on the S40 to test out some bike maintenance and mods made over the weekend.

Even though it was warm out, I still saw deer crossing the road out ahead of me so don't let this warm weather let you forget that the "winter" animal hazards are still out there!

Although it is warm in KY and we got up as high as 60 the last few days - it has brought with it a nearly constant supply of rain.  For the few hours that it didn't rain yesterday and the sun was out - the saturated ground has been flowing water across the roadways in sheets.

Riding weather has not yet come to northern KY. Sad

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

I meant to pack my Thumpy away for the remainder of the winter but as it happens I rode in to work again today. It's in the 60s!

Speaking of hazards some dumb animal cager literally tried taking me out a few days ago. There's a twisty little shortcut road I like to take and the other night I was going up it and there was a cager about 1000 ft. ahead of me. At one point the road takes a tight curve to the right and there's a retaining wall along the right side so you can't see over the turn. I come around this turn this dumb animal is stopped in the middle of the road just before it straightens out again. Luckily I wasn't riding fast so there was no danger of me hitting her. But when I went to go around her she aimed her car into me and gunned it.

I think she was deliberately trying to take me out. she knew I wouldn't see her coming around that turn until the very last second and stopped there waiting for me to plow into her truck. Then when that didn't happen she tried cutting me off as I passed her in the oncoming lane.

I flipped her off  Angry

For the first time in years, we were blessed with a white Christmas.  And we've had snow, interrupted with occasional freezing rain, ever since.  Angry
