Hi, CB'ers!
As you know, I traded my '14 Black CB1100 on a '16 T120. So far, due to weather, the Triumph has had no more than 10-15 miles put on the odometer. Lotta chrome and alloy on the wheels and engine cases that wouldn't hold up well what with all our road salt. We had some rain that got rid of most of it, so ...........
I 'wished' away the snow and cold. Must have worked for one day (only.) About a week ago, we had a lovely 55-60 degree day with lots of sun, our monthly allotment for NE Ohio in February. My 29 year old Beemer R100GS had been on Battery Tender for a few days, and was ready for a ride. I live within 10 minutes of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, so I jumped into some thermals and went out for 60-70 mile ride, often riding the same roads more than once. So nice, and the old Beemer was running beautifully.
Hope everything is going well for all of you, with the knowledge that even here in the Midwest, we can anticipate the upcoming riding season.
My best to all,
Bob
