27 with busted clouds this morning when I rode the Jackal to work. Mid thirties by the time I made my bank run. Half a sky full of awesome crimson mares' tails on the way home. 28 now.

Unmitigated risk aversion is the new Puritanism; complete with witch hunts funny outfits and humorless preachers thundering doom. The Deity is Safety; Satan is a Lawyer; but the object is the same: to suck the life out of life and tell you how to live it.

Rode to work, after work rode and finished Christmas shopping, picked up a take and bake pizza for dinner then put Olivia to bed for the night and opened a cold craft brew.

Yes I rode today..the only thing that would have made it better if I didn't have to go to work first!!!!

Merry Christmas all..and to all a good night!!!

Ride safe and often,

I did ride today. Rode the Eldo to Guzzi Classics to get a good rear M/C for the EV. Nice weather!  I installed the M/C and all seems good. Will take it for a spin tomorrow and see if the work went well.

Cataract   Maybe by N.Y.

Had that done last year, left eye.  You'll see better in only a day or two after the fix.

40 miles on the Sport.  Another 20 on the EV and the weather got cold, got a haircut, rode home.

Used Speed Bleeders. Read the thread on my brake issue.

SMM.... You do have a point there. The mountains to me are more like Big Bear.

I plan to ride again today. Make sure the brakes work on the EV and then get some more done on my parents house.

24 degrees when I left the house on the Stelvio, a tropical 38 on the way home.  I claimed that kids home from college needed my car to get around, so taking the MG to work was fun for me and got me some points with the Admiral.  Always playing the angles!  Snow has since hit NE Ohio and coming midweek highs are supposed to be in the low teens...waaah
Merry Christmas to all and hope we cross paths in 2018
