Looks like a great day for a ride !!

Not such a good day for riding here in the northern Sonoran desert of Arizona, 59 F. (15C), cloudy, heavy rain, cloud ceiling 500 ft (155m), and 1.5 mile (2.4km) visibility at the moment 1125 local .

After riding all year long for the last 17 years, I have forgotten what it was like to get that first ride in, after a winter's hibernation !!!!

Just took the Ol '82 out of the shed for the first time in about 5 weeks.  it was stranded there under way too much snow and rain and heavily salted roads.  (I have enough corrosion to deal with as it is!)  But dry conditions and high temps in the 50's are here so we're back on the road.  [smiley=clap.gif]

Still running on basic carb settings after the rebuild, so it's still a little rough, but what a rush opening up that throttle and winding it out!  It's been way, way too long.  

Happy spring !!! [smiley=beerchug.gif]

Firefox works well Lou.

I dont like Internet Explorer 8 having recently installed it at school and even if it didn't cause problems which it does, the layout is rubbish.
