 8) Whahoooooooo, I had my first ride of 2008 today, a little over 70 mile round trip... 8) Took "The Mistress" out for her "shake down" to get rid of the winter cobweb's. She ran just great  8) The only problem I had was the temp' gauge decided not to work, for some reason...Ah well, if that is the only problem she has this year I'll be really happy!!!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

:) I should have "The Canadian", my red 'n white '83, on the road this coming week... 8)

I've put about 1200 miles on in about the last 5-6 weeks, and I was gone for 10 days or so of it. :D That's on the Meanie though, if my new bearing gets here in time I may get a quick ride or two in on the Vision before I leave end of next week. :P

KJ's gauges seem to be slipping, might have to open up the case and check the connections there.

Ah, such fun to be out riding...

Riding around hasn't been too bad all winter. A little on the cool side, but not a harsh winter by any means. I've been riding my V all but about 1 month. And that was only because I had to cart too much stuff back and forth to work during that time.
