Man I’m sore. lol.  Cutting, splitting, stacking and selling firewood to get in better shape.  I also burn it in the off grid cabin.  Wife is helping too.  Hard work but I stay warm!

Rode my 230L Honda (the town bike) and my XR600 desert bike yesterday.
Was 65F sunny and windy here in Baja Sur, I'm a lucky guy.

Great story!

The original Trails are going for almost as much money as the new re-pops.  And the new ones are nice..FI, abs, electric start,
etc.  One of my riding pals has a new one...CT125.  We loaded his new CT125 and my ct70 into his truck to use at Barber Vintage Festival last October.  We both had a lot of fun riding around Barber and to & from hotel on our respective bikes.  The auto clutch feature really makes these bikes great for noodling around swap meets.

No riding for me either. I did manage to put the battery charger on the Buell then onto the 2011 R1200GS to top up the charge. The 2024 GSA and the mower will get their turn tomorrow. The cold and road treatment don't bother me as much as I have the bikes all cleaned up and do not want to get them dirty.

I like the low pipe. Why is it that almost every motorcycle manufacturer thinks that exhaust pipe(s) need to point up to the sky? A properly designed pipe and placement wouldn't be a clearance issue, other stuff will drag first. Besides I don't get over that far anyway. Old has its advantages.

Here is a perfect example, (on BaT), of an aftermarket exhaust pipe on a classic bike gone very, very bad...

Sadly NO..... Below freezing Ice all over the roads, and a healthy fear of falling kept me off. But I did change the Tender from the Stornello to the GRiSO!!!

"Ditto" that but I don't have a Stornello or Griso.  Additionally, who knows what de-ice chems were used on the roads here this season that needs a good rainfall to remove.  Hopefully in early March I'll be able to get out for an occasional ride until riding season weather is 100% here.  So, NO, I didn't ride today.

On the brighter side, Progessive informed me that my bike insurance is decreasing by $135/yr.....how the heck often does that sorta thing happen!!??
Oh well, I'll take it.
