It was 28F this morning with the Sun just starting to peek over the horizon and a high of 80F expected later this afternoon.
I went for a short 75 mile ride yesterday as it was gorgeous weather.  ;D

Yesterday was cold, high in the low 40's. Right now it's 38 deg, high today of 56 deg. Not quite ready for this, yet.

I want a warm Oct.-Nov. & I may have to move South to find it...

I did Larry,I lived down South for about 10 years on & off;the bugs and the allergies are why I moved back up North.I'm tired of moving,but if you don't keep moving when it's cold you can turn into an ice cube  :o   :D
I'm not going to move as much as I use to...,but I am researching where I could StAY.
 A man was speaking w/ me about Ormond Beach,FL. last week   ::)  I'll be doing a Lot of research before I do any more moving though;it's very tough to move into a low rent apt. in an area I don't know much about except a spot on the map.The good part is I'm single & on a fixed income so I can choose what I can afford...

Yes and one of the first things that I HAD to do was to make a new/much better baffle for it.
Ear-piercingly loud even at 5-6,000 rpm. Deafening even.

Nice and warm here today, but with that "Mistral" wind that could drive one nuts. Stayed in Shop working on the complexities that are NC35 carbies.

 55 degrees and light rain off and on right now. Just enough to keep the roads wet  I hope it clears up some so I can at least take the KO down the road and see how the clutch feels after adjusting it.

Massive cold front blew through yesterday... knocked our high temps from the low 90's to the low 80's and cut the humidity in half.

its been 40cel here today!like hot,if you run through the long dry grass itll catch fire!thats why I only run Castrol rx super 15/40 diesel engine oil in my bike,its the only oil that will perform at such sustained extremes of temperature and still maintain its cohesion and adhesional properties for mile after mile reliably yet still retain its cold starting low drag properties allowing your battery to last longer even during the most severe winter extremes,rely on Castrol for all your lubrication needs.

oops,did I just post that?
