Just a short ride today. Unseasonably warm, so felt I had to get out for at least a little bit, to nowhere in particular.

Dave, I almost feel bad posting that pic, when I see the vehicle you’ve been driving most lately is your snowblower.

Ha! Thanks.
But.... I did get out today.
Hey, did I miss something? Last I knew your replaced engine had a failure (but still kept up with Sportster). ANd you found holed piston.
And you bought a modern bike.
And now I see the T back on the road (well, I assume was an actuall road somewhere in your ride).
Maybe I missed or foregot something about your engine repair.




Went for ride today.

34degF, roads dry.
SOmething of a relief after days and days of temps in teens, and windy, with winter storms about 5 days in a row.

Next couple days maybe a bit warmer, but maybe rainy or wett.
So today is probably last best day to get in a January Ride.

Maybe some salt residue still on road.

Got out the Shadow500.
And geared up, including the 'letric gloves, installed glove 'lectric harnes in jacket, installed insulative panels I made into the riding pants.

Rode a ways further out of town, and around some, and then into town. Stopped in some places for pic. Yah, my goofy selfies.

(could not decide which selfie to post, so made this collage with four of them. Even goofyer yet, eh. )



Was out for little over an hour, not a lot of miles, about 30. But was good to get out.

Maybe should have had the face kerchief, and maybe shoulda had the insulative panels I made for behind the tongue of boots. But was okay.

Finding a day in Febuary is the more difficult month, even if just a short ride. But, if do, then can say rode every month of the year.

Nice. Now I don’t feel so bad.

Took my Yamaha Tracer out along with a friend who has a BMW for a 200 mile ride In eastern Washington in the Palouse region. Started with 38 deg warming to 62 then back down to 44. No pictures so I guess it didn't happen

Now that you've had it for a while are you liking the sound and levels from the aftermarket exhaust?

I’m loving it! I’m falling in love with the v4 sound

Beautiful day. Almost 50f in town. Chillier up in the mountains. Still a great day riding with my son, doing dirt bike sh!t.

It sounds good! I have after market exhausts on all of my bikes… so I’m used to the extra rumble
The Vfr came with a baffle not installed… so I put it in until the recent maintenance I did I decided to try without… much deeper sound and bark. The v4 engine is awesome! Why did I wait so long? Lol
