Changed the oil on the Speed Triple.

Started the Trophy, took em both for a ride.

Made sure the GL-1200 was snug under it's cover.

Looking forward to some riding this weekend.

Started all the bikes I have at my house (five) just outside of the garage because I like the sound.

I live in a condo/town house  Bigsmile

Then I moved all the bikes and changed the chain and sprockets on a friends R6 (85k miles on the R6  Thumbsup) yep he rides to work year round

Took out the S3, and ran the "Double carousel" on the Ortega a bunch of times.

Damn this bike continues to impress me.

Started the Trophy and warmed it up.  It goes out for breakfast somewhere distant tomorrow.

Thought about the Goldwing.  Monday's a work day, so it'll be called for commute duty.  I need to uncover it...... tomorrow maybe.

I put the registration sticker on the plate, new registration card in the tank bag and put the GPS back on it.

Ya know... now that there's snow on the ground again, it's good to have legal tags.  Crazy Lol

In 39deg temperatures, my wife and I grabbed the Trophy and did a 100-mile breakfast run.

We dressed warm, layered and all - but it was still chilly at 7am.   EEK!

This area's not much good for holigan bikes like that, huh?  Something fast in a straight line is whatcha need.

Fortunately, the snow will melt soon!

His bike - 2000 Hayabusa (because it's important to have the speedo that reads 220 MPH...)
 
Her bike - 2005 CBR600F4i (I'm not even allowed on it, but I'm supposed to change it's oil)  1996 CBR 600F3 Pink/Purple Hello Kitty Edition - Will be reworked into a black and red evil bike for the up and coming rider/daughter.

Just finished redoing the seat on the DR Bigok.  Now I actually have a seating surface bigger than my wallet and with some decent foam for longer rides...

Well, it was someteen degrees, and there's enough salt on the streets that they're white even with no snow, so riding was kind of out of the question.  Daughter really pissed me off... caught her lying to me... so had to get out of the house.  Fixed a loose wire on the bike... froze my huevos off...
