Congratulations Terry.
Now if I can heal up from the bronchitis and sinus infection I've been hacking through this past week, I will get started here. I missed a couple of warmer days this past week. It's supposed to hit the 60s again later this week.

Congratulations. Terry! The final on a good looking and running CB750 ;D

I'll hopefully get my first ride for 2026 this coming weekend.
Unless the weather apps change their minds and give us sh!t as they did this extended Easter weekend.

Well it looks like it will be another week before I get to ride my 1st ride of 2026. Will have to wait for rain to clean the salt off the roads again.....

I rolled my CB from cold storage into its seasonal parking spot yesterday. I was going to try and start it and ride around the block a few times but while I was having lunch the sunny and temperate day turned to snow and sleet kaboshing my plans. Last night I was diverted to watch the UM basketball team complete their fine season and I hope and expect their academic record matches their athletic record.
 This morning I put my battery tester (thanks Per) on my 5 yr old AGM. The battery has sat quietly since the bike was run last November. Is 189CCA, 12.42v, 62% enough for the first start of 2026? I don’t know…. will find out later. I’ll not be riding today and although it’s nice and sunny the thermometer is at 26f, brrrr, and maybe it needs an overnight on the trickle.
Today is 4/7 and I need to get after my 1040.
