The buds came out on the trees five days ago and the birds are moving around like marauding gangs. It is still cold here (22 at night, 40's during the day, and yes I know that is nothing compared to some) and yesterday I heard the distinct sound of my frozen stones hitting the pavement and shattering ( working on a leather and fur lined cod piece as we speak). Better than a cup of coffee to get the blood moving. My recent circumstances left me no choice. Had to sell my two project jeeps, my broken and soon to die daily driver Jeep last week. Luckily a great friend and cancer warrior Camille is now picking up my daughter for school, so I got off my duff and went back through the bike to fix and fiddle. I have been riding for the last week or so and will continue until the bike says no. No plans for the four wheel cage any time soon, but I think I will be starting work on another 750 in March. Nasty little rebuild, but all in all a learning experience. This is the best time to ride in my opinion, since HOT is around the corner as well, and traffic stops suck in July/August. Stay warm mates, keep your head above your @$$ and keep looking at the road!!!
