I had considered those, but the reviews on the Dunlops made me go there

I rode to Florence, AZ to help passing-out 'food-bank-food' to the people that need help. Left home at 0700 (freezing-bloody-cold) to ride there, helped for about three hours, then home in warmth...!

THIS has been the COLDEST winter since we started coming to AZ as 'snow-birds' back in '03...!

'snow-birds'

LOL, I haven't heard that since the 80's when I lived in Florida

It's no better in Green Valley. This is my 13th year here Jan-March. We've had more cold crappy and rain days than all the last 12 years combined. All next week is highs in the low 50's. It's nicer in Ga.
Rant over!

It was 57, overcast, and a light mist today here in NW Georgia. My wife and I rode up to Costco to cash our "annual refund" ... picked up a few things there, and had some good Mexican food at our favorite spot on the way home. That dampness and LA l of sunshine made it feel a little cooler than expected... but it was a nice ride anyway 👍🏻

Had a nice ride 75 miles down to a veggie stand to pick up some fresh tomatoes and fried peanuts. It was foggy, wetter and cooler than I thought it would be. Had to stop and put on a rain jacket for the wind and cold. Still a very good ride though. Also tried using an external battery pack to power my GoPro because the standard battery only lasts for about an hour. With the battery pack I recorded the entire 3 hour ride with both battery and storage left over. As long as it isn't really wet I think this method will work well for me.

Edit to include screen print from GoPro - I had stopped to put on rain jacket for warmth.

Some extra gas for the ride home?

Low 80's and sunny on my ride to Key Largo and back today.

It finally hit 75 here Saturday. I did 150 miles then put a new road smart 3 on the rear. Thats my fourth tire between all the bikes so far this year I hate tires!!!

Installed a second 12 volt Cigarette Lighter Accessory Outlet on the right side of the dash. I have a 2 socket USB adapter to plug in if I need additional USB ports for charging something. The left side other is permanently in use by my GPS.

New chain and sprockets; went back to a 46 rear sprocket. I forgot how much better the 46 feels! I'll deal with the higher revs.

My last rear was a 43. I also run a 150/70 Shinko 705. The larger diameter tire made the taller gearing feel a bit too tall. It was nice on the freeway but I had to work a bit to get the front wheel up.

I like this new 46 much better

Sometimes a little change is good 👍🏻

Normally I don't insure my bike here in the rainy season on the coast .For some reason I did last year and got a decent days riding today. Snow on the mountains but pleasant at sea level.

That's a sharp ride.

Today I adjusted/cleaned/lubed my chain. I usually keep the bike covered, and in the short time it wasn't, it was already covered in pollen. It's that time of the year here in the southern U.S. Yesterday I rode north to photograph an old coal
tower that I have been wanting to visit. Did about 130 miles up and back.

There are times when b&w film w/ a red filter are AWESOME!

Very nice picture!

And you're right about the pollen. Up here in the north (North Georgia that is - LOL) ... the Bradford Pear trees started blooming 2 weeks ago (MID FEBRUARY ???) ... usually start Mid-Late March, so a good month early. Pollen and sneezing everywhere !

Finally opened the season of riding.

New brake cylinder (from gen3), SS lines - and front brake has a noticeably better feel now. Not as 4 piston one with radial master cylinder, but way better than original.
Tried Scorpion Trail 2 - I like it. A little sacrifice on a high speed (100 mph+), but I rarely ride that fast. Grips better than Angel ST on gravel and muddy roads.
Heated grips - how did i ride without them? Big step in comfort.
Saddle reshaped - feels better. Maybe will test more on long rides, for now - good angle, nice and comfy compared to stock.

Glory to Ukraine.

One happy alive Ukrainian

Updated, cleaned and serviced bike.
