What did you do on or to your other bike part 2
well yes its a 350.......
If you're satisfied with the driving performance, then it's great. 

This tuck tuck tuck sound from this little long-stroke engine is a massage for the soul... and Honda did a great job with the sound.

Right, not 400, 350 it is!  I bought an XR190 last year at this time while in Costa Rica, but semi-considered buying a H'ness.  At $5,000 U.S. it is actually better priced than my 190 at $4,000; in the end, while sacrificing some umph the xr190 is much better suited to the off-road options there.  If I play my cards right, I'll be able to ride it for several days while there this March.

... well, after missing 16 days to Arctic cold and snowmageddon amounts of snow and ice, we got two above freezing days in a row, the snow and ice melted off my road enough that I was able to get out for 30 miles @ 58 degrees and sunny. The only issue was melting snow was causing rivers of water to run across the roads, and water mist from following cars or cars coming in the opposite direction made it seem like riding in the rain lol. Angry Bird is a mess. I don't care lol. It was great to be out on 2 wheels again. Going down below freezing tonight so all that water on the road is going to freeze making riding tomorrow questionable so we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully this winter's back has been broken!

Same here, mickey mouse winter madness, roads are covered by 1/5" of salt, completely white.
Some mild temp are coming this week, but so far  >no Biker <
Both batteries are fully charged, checked today, to fire up any time.

Your driveway is completely clear, nice job with your 4-wheeler! I bet it felt good getting out.

Like there, the paved roads here are white with salt and brine residue and unfortunately my driveway is covered in ice with about 3" of slush on top. Glad for the controlled melting from the last 2 warm days with no rain though.

Day 28 ..rained all last night and up to mid-morning today. I waited until 4:15 for the roads to dry out some before heading out for 37 miles @ 48 degrees and overcast on mainly damp roads and turned over another mileage milestone on Angry Bird

Do you reckon it's reading over or under, PB?
