Nice shuttlecraft, Cap'n!
Scotty did well with the camera, Captain. The Klingon in the second picture does not look well. The bike, though, is magnificent.

Running like a top
We had a high of 40 degrees, but there's salt, etc all over the roads and I didn't want to ride the Honda in that mess....
Soooo I went out on the green machine.

hey kballowe..I had a good buddy that just one decked out just about like that, low miles, not much money. If I were taller I might have bought it. Cool bikes.
Congrats on getting in some miles this time of the year

The ferret_imp said:well first official ride of 2017 was a short one. Weather forecast was good. 33 degrees to start going to 48. My wife asked if she could go this afternoon, so I figured my first ride would be a solo on the CB...starting 2017 as I ended 2016
However once I got up on the hill at the top of my drive it started getting foggy

by the time I got out to the main road I could barely see..fog drops had covered my faceshield, so I raised, it, then they covered my glasses so I lowered them. Could barely see cars coming

I decided this was nuts lol, and turned around and went back home. First official ride covered a whole 5 miles.
Going to wait for it to burn off and head back out later.
My first official ride of 2017 was also a short one, it was Monday, the 2nd, about 4:00pm, rode over to the cable store to exchange a bad remote control for a new one. An 11 mile ride round trip. Since then, much snow and temps are 9 degrees. Bike looks good in the garage though. Good looking green machine!kballowe_imp said:We had a high of 40 degrees, but there's salt, etc all over the roads and I didn't want to ride the Honda in that mess....

This morning I had my first ride for the year 2017. Last ride was last Christmas.
It was -3°C in the morning, when I was commuting to the office, but blue sky and sunny. In the afternoon it should be 11°C, I'm looking forward to a gentle ride home. That would be 56 km for today.
Yesterday I washed off the dust from my CBF1000F and started her for the first time since Christmas. It just fired up at the first press of the button.

Django congrats. Wow that is a long time to go without riding. Bet it felt great. Is using a gas stabilizer a common custom in Germany too?

Yeah, 2 month no riding, that's long to me. However, most of us here in Germany do a longer winter break, from November to March, April or May.The ferret_imp said:
Last year I did ride every month, this year we had an unusual cold January with perma frost and much snow. Now the snow has gone and temps are rising daily and recently some rain washed the plenty of salt off the roads.
Gas stabilizer is not common at all in Germany. No problem with half year old gas or older. Good quality.
I bought a Kawa ER-5 for my daughter a few years ago. That bike had not been ridden for more than 2 years. I emptied the tank and used up the fuel in my Beemer, mixing it in liter wise.

Hm, somehow this afternoon the way home was a little bit longer. All together it was 136 km today. 
Riding a motorcycle in the sun is just wonderful.
