    Headed out of work a little early today. It's AZ Bike Week, and I'm taking the Beemer up to Scottsdale. Billy Idol is performing tonight, so I am looking forward to that. I've been going to Bike Week here since 2006 and still enjoy it for all sorts of reasons, from seeing all the cool motorcycles, chatting with industry folks, enjoying food and drink with friendly people, and the music. Some of my favorite memories from concerts have come from this event.

          No ride today. Or yesterday, last week or last month. Working an insane amount of hours on jobs and on my house. Hopng April will be the last month of this nonsense. I just keep moving the battery tender from the GS to the FJR in hopes of getting out soon. The battery died a while back on the GS after sitting for a month. I opened the choke, rolled 30 feet to the end of my driveway and popped the clutch in second. Started right up. Only rode a mile or two though, just to the house we're renting.

                Went for evening ride last night up and went to Muskegon. Swung by the beach there for sunset (and then stayed for twilight).

                Yesterday and today the first days in upper 60s low 70s. .
                But when at the beach the breeze comming in off the lake was maybe 55.

                Got back home about 10PM, was still in 60s, gee, kinda makes me think maybe is springtime (but, ah, snow in forecast for Monday & Tuesday).
                Was nice to be out for about 4 hours.

                Need to get GK out, is in back corner of garage, and I have a license tag situation to resolve.

                    It's been awful nice on this side of the state. Unfortunately haven't been able to ride the GS yet. Been doing yard work and catching up on vehicle repairs/maintenance.

                    I look forward to seeing pictures of the GK!

                      Second ride after winter. Weather here has been incredible. A short ride turned into 300 because, well, I'm retired single and I can. Almost made it to Lake superior but timed out. There is still LOTS of snow in northern Wi. & Mn and if weather permits I may make a waterfall run next week as the streams will be running hard and there are 5-6? great waterfalls in upper Wi. and MN along Lake Superior in the Duluth area. Sorry I can't post pictures cause I still am unable to figure out how to. Why is this so difficult other than my stupidity?

                              I can't stop riding the Beemer. I have some plans for a few mods to it, but it is an absolutely fabulous bike. I'm averaging 200 miles a week on it commuting to work and back twice a week and then taking trips on weekends.
