Heard a bike out about 1:00 today  across the river (on Miworth rd). Wondered if it was Parker out for a spin.

probably was him, cause it was about that time when he called and said he was heading over.

I bought my insurance today, and I went for my first ride.  I wrote about my efforts to get the KZ650 on the road in my blog: gloryroadgarage.wordpress.com.  I am so excited to ride tomorrow.

  If I could figure out a way to get my bike from the backyard to the front....oh well, thinking maybe tomorrow she can get fired up after I go through Jeremy's carbs. CHEERS.

I've had the 400T insured for a few days. Went for a few short blasts. Weather is awesome and the sweeper is getting the sand off the streets here in the 'hoof. Now if I can find time to ride a bit this weekend...

    Hoping you found your box of goodies Jij. In the carport by the door on the chair. Floats were right side up, just a little cleaning and a few adjustments. Held 8 pds. for 10 minutes so should be good to go. Happy riding! CHEERS.

 I love this time of year!! except for the sand on the roads!!!!  yeah fj1200  that was me blowing the cobwebs outa the 650 kaw, and me too !! Might do it again today.  I managed to get my driveway down to gravel ( well almost) . So getting to the road is not a problem.  The road out to Miworth is in good shape, save for a bit of sand in the corners still. but there is a clean line through them. Just a bit of run off at Colombia Bitulithic, but other wise a good ride.

OK all you early birds just watch out for the Gravel on the roads and remember the city probably wont clean the roads till June because of the heavy snowfall this year and the budget just ran out - again.

The roads are great :)
Got insured and set with my new helmet from Germany...I love it, but the downfalls of this helmet are going to pose an issue during the spring.

All of the reviews said it was a loud helmet...I thought what the hell who cares my punk and metal tunes in my headphones will drown out loudness...but low and behold there is another issue! The dust intake through the vents is CRAZY! Think I will need to glue on dust blockers :)

The highways are great. I thought there was no way I would be on the road earlier this year than last year. I was dead wrong! 6 days ahead of last year! YAY!

I got insurance on Saturday, spent most of Sunday cleaning carbs and petcock, just so I could take my wife and daughter out for a picnic with the Chang Jiang.   We drove around trying to find a dry picnic table somewhere, and ended up choosing the parking lot at UNBC.  This picture was taken by my daughter.



Peace & Grease, Dennis
