exactly why* I don't push my belts....
« on: January 29, 2023, 07:25:15 PM »
*Pitch dark - miles into the boonies - everyone's asleep - 40°F with 14 mph winds and steady rain - "feels like 34°F"
Finger-aching damp w/o gloves! Muddy shoulders.

"New belts, installed per the manual, are cheap insurance against the most common break-downs" IMHO.
...this thought crossed my mind this morning as I rode out for coffee..




That is not the sunrise. Sunrise will be at my back here, in @ an hour & a half.




Heading home.....salute to the gang!







Today ~ the atmospheric mysteries kept my visor fog-free during the whole ride!

any day you get out & back & can still remember where you live - is a good ride! (yeah, I have a pinlok in the helmet)

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
