Title: Is it to early to have Spring Fever???
Post by: Kevin on January 29, 2023, 06:26:18 PM
Servicing, forks, shocks, linkages, engines, air filters...  I want to ride and I am over winter.  I guess it is almost February!!!

Kevin,  I've had spring fever since Thanksgiving.  So ready for some riding.  Honey- do projects until then.

Yes. Got the bikes in riding condition way too early this winter.  My big project yesterday was to install a phone charger and a ram ball. That lasted... 10 minutes.

Looks like a warming trend is coming in a few days.

I'm definitely ready for spring!  although the 300 still needs a little freshening up, but I'll have that ready in a week or two.

I titled AND plated the 300RR today. A first for me. Plenty four strokes streeted. Never a two stroke.

Did not help with the spring fever but still cool.

Yeah, super cool.  North Dakota is the same, I even have a tag on my trials bike... Just wish the state of ND was a bit more open minded about public land use...

It will be here soon. I'm wrapping up a new clutch on the old R1100S. That's a project - requires splitting the bike in half and removing the frame.
The DRZ is ready and the T7 has a farkling problem.

The Super Tenere will be going on the lift this week in prep for a March 1st Mexico trip departure.  Hopefully running down the main land to Mazatlan, ferry to La Paz and riding back up Baja.  We may have to modify our route to down and back in Baja California instead of the main land if the cartels continue to act up.  I am getting awefully antsy for a ride and the PMS is hitting serious.

Glad to hear it. Downside to living where I do, I guess. I looked at my steep driveway on Saturday, it was definitely the day but, I'd have gotten to the bottom a lot faster and more pear shaped than I would have liked. It's open now though with only a couple ice patches between me and freedom.

The ride over to the badlands in January helped quite a bit.

I certainly have it. Was discussing this with Fletch during a ski day on Tuesday. As a result, check out the "Who's Riding" section for my post.
