The gremlins were to busy at other peoples houses

So it's about 60f out side and I just took the triumph out for a little spin.  Then I figured I'd try my hand at the R5.5.  Now this thing isn't the easiest thing to start after sitting for 3 or 4 months but to my suprise it started right up.  So off I went on a little ride.  Hope everyone has the same luck.

No gremlins here. Put in a new battery today and replaced the YICS lines. Starts up and runs better than ever.

Yup, I had the same luck. I think all the gremlins are visiting Tiffany's house. I took the bike for a 40 mile ride on Friday to get her inspected. Pulled the bike off the battery tender, set to prime, rolled it outside... Fired right up. It's a beautiful thing... Just watch the gravel in the road.

Yes... the gremlins are all busy giving me the run around.  That's ok though, I'm glad you guys are getting to enjoy your bikes.  Warm weather is starting to creep back in.

Gotta love Springtime in the Rockies.  55 degrees (F) and sunny.  Not even much wind - rare for March!  Also, not a gremlin to be found.  Just got back from about 40 miles in the nearby foothills.  Must have seen at least 30 other bikes out today.  The V ran great - especially considering it has been started & warmed up just once since last November.  Went solo so no photos.  Wanted to just ride, so no video, either.  Found a little sand in a couple corners but mostly, it was nice, clean pavement.  Took it easy for the 20 miles out - but on the return run, I managed to get some nice lean angles going in the twisties.  Dusted off a V-rod once the road started bending again.  In the straights leading into the tighter stuff, he was impatient.  After the second turn, he was just a small spot in my rearview mirror.  Surprising since I'm not the fastest rider in the tight curves & there's a bit of rust in my riding skills to boot.

Rewired power center seems to work as I hoped.  Volt gauge stayed between 13.5 & 14.5V the entire time.  The short wire run to the new fuseblock and the 10 gauge wire from there to the battery (through the 40A relay) sure puts quality juice to the accessories.

Glad those gremlins are elsewhere.  If you're having a bad day, blame me - I had all your fun molecules!   ;D

I took the Ninja for a test run on Angeles Crest Sat. afternoon.  It was a great day to ride, weather was in the 70's.  I just rebuilt the engine, (it only has 400 miles on it), so I had to finally open her up.

Has anyone else seen the new Progressive Insurance commercial with the Gremlins knocking over the motorcycle? I laughed my butt off!
