Title: Exercising the Yellow Horse...
Post by: JJ on February 23, 2021, 06:36:27 PM
Nice weather today...some clouds, but 65 degrees, so I FLOGGED the ol' Yellow Horse for a 50-mile round trip shakedown ride from the VOC down to historic downtown Cottonwood and back. It felt good to be "In The Wind' again...It also felt good at 80-85 mph on a quick straight-away burst!! :wink: :thumb: :cool: :boozing:

The bike ran great! :thumb: :cool: :smiley:

I looked at the battery for mine today. Guzzis and Buell still in storage. British paperweight in garage.

was 70 here today.  Still some dirty piles of snow.  Took a bike out and did 50 miles.  Tried to get the Beeline to work.

That's a beautiful area.  I was there last week for 10 days....While it was zero degrees at home!  Stayed in Scottsdale, was able to get a ride in on a cousins Shovelhead up to Cave Creek and over to Lake Bartlett.  We drove (car) up to Grand Canyon, Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome, Prescott.... I'd love to ride 89A someday!!

A great ride but best to avoid on the weekends because of clueless, dangerous tourists, who cannot drive safely or pay attention to other vehicles on the road... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :shocked: :shocked: :huh: :huh:

Well no electric in the storage facility and I really want to have it turn over when I need it to so it will have a fully charged battery boing into it before I ride it.
