Looks like a rain ride tomorrow

Getting out all the wet gear - it has been a while!
Treating the gloves - and hope for the best!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Anything over 10C I'll take, but 15C is the real comfort threshold for me.  Lucky to hit double digits here (UK) atm.
Regards & ride safe,

18C here (65F) yesterday and I got out for a short ride on the Nighthawk! First ride in at least a few weeks. Same weather for today but unfortunately mowing the lawn takes priority.

I question your priorities, Hawk
2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here

haha, me, too, at times...I'm also taking care of my elderly Mother's lawn, which is about 30 minutes away. So 2 lawns to take care of. Like I tell others, lawn mowing and riding both occupy the same window of free time in my life so I'm forced to choose...and unfortunately the lawn can't always wait...

this probably explains the maybe 500 total miles I've ridden this year on all 3 bikes. Sad.
