      Thanks Scott, I feel not bad...the hip and leg get sore...I can't walk very far...there is more "clicking" in my clip now...still waiting to hear when I go in for a hip replacement....I'm getting a call Thursday from a "navigator" to talk about the surgery.
      I am so looking forward to it....life seems to be on hold.
      Cheers

      Oh, and Happy Birthday!

          Rode home last night and enjoyed a bit of snowiness. It's definitely exciting. Hand warmers were on full blast but my thumbs still froze.

          Back to a warming trend for the next few days. Yayyy!

            It was sooo nice today. We were having family for Easter so I was kind of bummed I wouldn’t get to ride on such a beautiful day. Low and behold my 10 year old niece really wanted me to take her for a ride (her first). And mom was OK with it so it worked out great for both of us. We both had a blast.

            Safety briefing:


            then off we go(this was just her getting on, she knew not to hold on to my shoulders):

              After the family left I was able to get in a short evening ride to a local graffitied covered bridge. Very different massages tagged on opposite sides.

                Your bike is gorgeous Rich. Love that blue on the tank. Looks like you still have the original rear shocks and dual exhaust (you do, actually).

                EDIT: And I see you have single-braided front line.

                    Aw, thanks guys. I have a friend/neighbor who owns a body shop. The paint was done about 15 years ago. It was some left over color from a custom job he did. In certain lights it really does pop. Upgraded the brake line to a Venhill braided SS about 2 years ago. The rear shocks are original and holding up. Though I have nothing to compare it to. They may be weak but my butt doesn’t know any better. Pipes are original and in good condition except the PO drilled a bunch of raggedy-a$$ holes in the baffles. Pi$$es me off every time I look at it. May stop at an local exhaust shop I’ve used before and see if the guy can do anything with it.

                    As all our bikes are, this one has been a labor of love, blood, sweat and tears. But it’s mine. And I like it. Thanks for the kind words.

                      No images of the bike just me hitting a turn faster than I should have on the Tracer...

                          Oh no.., More like I may have accidently went a bit over the speed limit on the turn. Well within the comfort and safe operational parameters of the motorcycle.

                                SW-MOTECH/BAGS-CONNECTION City Bag... it used to live on my B-King(s). Attaches with a ring that bolts to the gas filler surround... Katana has a plastic tank cover so no-go for magnetic bags.

                                Suzuki actually sells the same bag as an accessory now but has Suzuki logos embroidered on it. Tank ring is sold separately also through Suzuki.

                                Funny, the Suzuki branded bag is over $100 cheaper than the SW-MOTECH version:



                                I know I paid well over $300 for the bag and the ring back in 2012 from A Vicious Cycle (now Twisted Throttle) in Ontario... great bag though.
