Winter is over in New England

damark115 · 03-30-2009, 09:42 PM

After a long winter and much needed maintenance on the bike, I put my insurance back on today and rode my Nomad home from my shop. (Woodworking shop, Dust everywhere). I only rode 10 miles but I felt alive again! New tires, new grease, new u-joint, new cobra exhaust, Drifter brake pedal,replaced burnt dash bulbs, oil change, rear gear oil change. new battery, brake shoes. Felt like a brand new machine. Driving it to work Tuesday and maybe Wednesday if the rain holds off.
Summer is here!!

Congrats on surviving the winter! Nothing better than the feel of spring's first ride. It shouldn't be too long before mine roars to life again as well.
