Sure it is mid January now . We’ve had some nasty climate right here in New York however no actual snow but. Critical rain and wind have been on the menu weekly but it surely’s been on the hotter aspect. I managed to get the aspect yard in entrance of my storage all cleaned out final week. I moved the wooden range I purchased again in September or October into the storage . This was no simple job doing it alone at age 74 however I managed. As soon as within the storage the place I had cleared an area for it I utterly cleaned it in and out then oiled the entire thing to guard it from rusting whereas not in use. It is going as much as the Adirondacks sooner or later this summer season as soon as I get somebody up there to assist me get it off the truck and up the hill to my constructing. Anyway , after getting this challenge completed I labored some within the basement on my motorbike components stock. With some good luck I’ll get that mess all sorted out and discover a purchaser for it. I posted a discover about it on my motorbike group and a pair guys confirmed some curiosity so we’ll see what occurs after it is all organized , repackaged , and inventoried . Right this moment is a phenomenal day right here in New York with considerable sunshine and temps within the excessive 40’s F . Yesterday was the identical just a bit cooler and I acquired out for a experience on the Moto Guzzi 850-T . Certain felt good to experience. This was my first experience of the brand new yr. The Covid prevented me from driving again in late December and early January. I wanted to let myself totally recuperate from that crap earlier than I may head out into the chilly and experience. So at present I experience the 1988 BMW K100RS for an hour or so . Life is fairly good as of late despite the fact that it is winter. Snow is forecast for subsequent Tuesday and chilly climate begins transferring in tomorrow so it seems like that is my final experience for per week or so. That is the way it goes when one retires . Should you do not preserve busy you find yourself with dementia or another shit . So I preserve busy with my bikes engaged on them , driving them , sorting by means of components for them , and restoring them. If all goes properly with the stock factor I might be able to get to the cool little 1975 Yamaha RD350 that my buddy Pete gave me.
This can be a enjoyable challenge. I constructed this bike about 25 years in the past for him out of a complete basket case. I do not assume he put 4000 miles on it since I constructed it so it must be a straightforward repair up slightly than a restoration. The following proprietor can do this if she or he needs to. The bike simply sat within the nook of his little storage losing away. He was afraid to experience. Properly some guys dream about it and a few guys really do it. Anyway , with some luck I will have my different initiatives out of the best way , there will not be any extra disasters like final summer season to cope with , and I will even have the time to do that so I can put up for sale and get it out of right here. It is 10:45 AM right here in NY and beginning to heat up properly.Needs to be heat sufficient to experience by midday so it is time for me to feed my tortoises , have some lunch , get suited up in my leathers , and head out on this beast !
