Wow, sounds exciting!
As for what you win - how about I take you out for Taco Bell next weekend?

Yummmm.. TACO BELL.

I always spend new year's eve at home where it is safer. New year's day I'm out for the first ride of the year.

I always try to ride New Year Eve/Day if it's possible. This year, I was "lazy". I took my motorcycle battery out in mid-December as I thought the snow would come and the weather would go below zero... with my 01 Z750F, it's a 20 min job to do (really bad placement!) to put in/take out...
Not many think of battery access when they buy a motorcycle, but it is worth a look. I always check oil filter access and will shy away from a bike that has a hard to get at one.

You guys back in the land of Chinook winds, or are you still "across the pond"?
My bike is still out of commission...so no riding...but if this mild winter stays, we could be riding in March...
I'll be ordering the parts at the end of the month...then anytime the weather warms up, I'll get out there...
Later.

I went out the 1st and 2nd for about an hour each time. It was just too unusually
warm and sunny to pass up this year. Roads in the area were almost empty but I
did see 3-4 other motorcyclists Monday, the 2nd...

New Years Day was Sunday, and I rode a motorcycle to church. So, a that's a modest ride - about 27-28 miles round trip.
