I'm getting my Triumph ready for the All-British Motorcycle Show in San Jose on March 31.
 
Working on trying to sell my VStrom. Moving to Utah, won't be able to ride it as much as I would like, don't want it sitting around unused all the time.
 
yup...............

Gonna get my new back tire and all the fluids changed, thanks to my Sweety.

My wife bought me an old Honda Nighthawk to rebuild since I had sold mine to help get away from the previous wife... I had it almost all done, then got into powder coating, now I'm tearing it back apart to coat a bunch of parts! It'll be this summer before it's done, looks like!
 
I haven't got a heated garage. The little garage I do have does not come close to holding my bikes. There are a bunch of them in a tarp shed, but no place under cover where I can work on them. There is lots of work to be done, but it will have to wait for warmer weather.
 
Mine is ready to go,the bad part is I am only six weeks post back surgery and my doc said no riding until march.im not going to chance a reinjury, so I'll just wait as patiently as possible. At least I can go to the range!!
 
I put a Mustang seat on mine and I'll be putting a set of Kuryakyn speakers on it before summer hits.

I just finished changing the fluids, filters, spark plugs, greased the neck, new tires and brakes, and in general went over the whole Bike. I put in Stabil but the weather here is still more than good enough to continue to ride. I keep wondering when he white stuff is coming.......
 
I just got the ok to ride again. Now i'm torn between a suzuki 1250 bandit like i had before i got sick or a dual sport 650 four stroke. I have plenty of off road trails to hit. (easy riding)

I love riding in the green mountains in VT and not looking thru a plate glass window.
 
Been a bizzare winter here so far. Unseasonably WARM and windy. So I've been riiding the R1200GS weekly if even 10 miles...simply to keep the battery up and seals wet. Usually by now it's covered, battery tender plugged in, etc.

Other than my normal maintenance...About everything I want or can afford has been done already.

Though I did finally find a decent seatpan for the wifes old R-65 and will send it out to have another seat built. The one on it is made for an inseam impaired woman...not a 6'-2" guy.

No way. I'm taking an overnight trip next weekend, God willing. Try to ride it no less than once a week, even during the busiest of times.
