Gotta get out.
« on: April 14, 2020, 03:24:48 PM »
I think Neil and I are going to go socially distance at the A&W on 2 wheels tonight if the weather holds at about 6:30.  This is not an invite, just a statement, but I can't influence what you may or may not do.  Just do it socially responsibly....

I live with fear and danger everyday, but sometimes I leave her at home and go motorcycling.

It was a moderately successful ride....  The SRX seems to have an electrical issue.  I think moisture related.  I'll have to ride on a dry day to ascertain. Hey... it looks dry today....

I had to "get out" last night.

I only have the XT350 insured (Chang Jiang ran out in March after a full year insured).   One of my favourite rides is to the far end of Miworth.





The XT350 is a great bike for the start of the season.  The insurance is (relatively) cheap since its only 350cc.  It handles the pot holes and cracked pavement much nicer than a rigid chopper, and most my early season riding is not blasting down the highway so its comfortable 80 km/h is perfect.  Given the higher probability of crashing early in the season (on loose gravel on the roads), I'd cry the least if this bike got wiped out.

Peace & Grease, Dennis.
