    Yesterday I had to get the bike out and try to start her up. Set the fuel to prime for a minute or so, set the choke and hit the starter. She cranked for just a bit then fired right up and ran great! Busy weekend this one, so no time for a ride, but I know she's ready when I am!

    I still have yet to ride on the new rubber (installed after she was put away for the winter), so it'll be interesting to see how the new tires work out.

    Happy Easter everyone!

    the mild weather and dry roads are calling but without the paperwork done the last thing I want is to get nailed riding an unlicensed bike.

    someday soon.

    I've been able to ride for the last three days (it's been in the 70's here). I have the time again tomorrow since work is shut down until Tuesday. Hopefully I can put on 200 miles or so before the snow starts falling again Tomorrow night.

    One nice thing about being in MT: Bikes are a permanent registration. ~$150 one time and I'm good for ever. :)

    We had 50's here today, which is well into riding weather for me. Family dinner was the priority today. Next weekend....

    I spend my cooler days in the dirt.
    Waiting for the weather to warm up so I wont be so cold at stop lights on my streeter bikes!

    Supposed to be nice all week in Southern Ohio. Don't have to take the kid to school this week either. Time to start commuting on a motorcycle (hopefully).
