Rode my CB1100 to Mom's yesterday. My Bonneville has been camping in her side garage since mid-January, as I made room for Superbird in my garage, and then the whole new job with the Blood Bike thing happened, and she wasn't exactly forgotten, just put on the back burner. Well, I don't like ignoring any of my two-wheeled children for that long and it was bugging me.
Mom had a new patio table delivered and needed me to look at the ice maker on her fridge and handle a few other chores, so I rode the CB down, did my chores, left the CB under a cover and on an Optimate tender, and rode the Triumph home. Mom will be going in for a hip surgery toward the end of April, so at the latest, I'll take either the Enfield (which is in a friend's garage), or the Triumph back down to Mom's to oversee her recovery, then bring the CB back home. Need to rotate bikes!

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
