So far....Several early January riding days that went over 54 degrees and so I went for daily rides. In all of the years I've lived here, it's never seemed this warm, and it's really no warmer than normal (no, there's no such thing as "Global Warming"), but with my new focus on bikes, it sure seems warmer. Things could be worse.

I also found a picture online of a 2000 929 in a similar paint scheme to mine. 2000 was definitely a "Yellow" year for Honda. VFR, VTR1000 Superhawk and the 929 so far. They must have been getting a deal on yellow paint. In defense, my color is "Orange"

We wish all a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!!!

I debugged the tach (I failed to secure two connections when I repaired the instrument cluster mounting bosses three weeks ago) and brake lights today(the original 1994 "Stanley"(manufacturer of factory taillight units) bulbs were faulty, replaced same)..no problem, back to 100%

Riding on New Years Day in Colorado. Who would have imagined. 54 degrees and sunny today, nice ride, but too short. It's supposed to go to 60 and sunny tomorrow. I plan to head up US-34 toward Estes Park.

Saturday the temps are forecast to dip below my tolerance. 24 degrees and possible flurries. It's supposed to get to the upper 40's late next week, so, maybe another ride or two. Some of the great things about Colorado are the sunshine (about 300-325 days a year) low humidity and resulting dry roads during winter. Wear the right gear and you can ride virtually all year long.

During winter, you take rides when you can get them no matter where you live.
