Great turn out!
I never have turnouts like that on my rides...most was 6, usually it's me and one other...so I'm not very keen on big group rides.

I've always been a Buell fan, love the looks of their bikes...now he's gone too super sport for me!

I think this will be my bike for a while, but I do need to get something more dirt friendly...but I'll probably go with a side by side to scare my GF :laughing:

Later.

Got my snow tires off today. Found out I either have an alignment issue or a bad tire with my rear drivers side. Tire was worn out. Diagonal wear spots but not uniform all around. Gonna get it looked at on Thursday before I head back south to the states. Hopefully it's a bad tire. Its shot already, so it's a forgone conclusion I need a new one. I could do without alignment issues. Lol.

Sold my 2005 Bonneville yesterday. A little sad to see it go (that is, until I ride it 50 miles or more at one time) :roll:
It was my first real motorcycle, and I had had it since new. Mrs. Stark and I are getting into off-pavement riding, and I needed to sell bikes to make room for other bikes.

Brand new in July 2005:

Last month, nine years and 31,000 miles later:

I sold it to a fellow at work who had just passed his MSF and was looking for his first bike. He might be riding it to work, so perhaps I'll see it around now and again.

Remarkable where we get our motivation.

I have been trying...without any success...to buy a new skirt or two. Most of the clothes around are for tiny people...I think I was born bigger than some of the population that lives here now. :laughing: Size 2, size 4...or the styles are for the young and trendy or the "petite" (I am 5'9" tall)

Summer time is upon us and instead of shorts, I like to wear skirts.

So.....I went to the fabric store and bought a pattern and fabric and the assorted notions needed to construct the skirts.

Job one...clean the back room...My sewing machine has been sitting buried beneath my accumulation of things I don't know what to do with. :roll:

My back room has been needing attention since I moved in....It gets neglected because of various reasons....so today was dedicated to the project.

Doors are open, windows are open, music is playing....the room is coming along, but I needed a break to sit down and give my back a rest.

I have come across things I could toss out and more paper crap that went to recycle.

I also have some assorted patches to sew on to a jacket...The sewing machine is on the table in plan sight now.... :mrgreen:

I would have gone riding, but me left shoulder is bothering me....the therapist worked deep into the shoulder last night...so it's tender today. Better to be safe than sorry. Therefore....back to the beginning...motivation to clean the back room....
