Winter refreshment
Well its that time of year when riding doesn't exist up in the great white north. But refreshing the bike does.
Did a trip to the city yesterday and dropped some hard earn coin. New battery, shocks, tires, fancy nuts and bolts and of course some new metal for a Nomad project that will be posted when completed. Oh yeah, new helmet, rain gear and leather jacket. It seem to me that over a period of 25yrs., leather seems to shrink because my nice old Bristol doesn't seem to fit anymore! I had to move up 2 sizes. What have you done or are going to do this winter for this seasons riding??

Sorry to hear about the shrinkage
![]() But we all deserve some new stuff once in a while I plan on just making sure it's running well and do some regular maintenance, John. I think I've done all I want to do. ..... I think I'll have to replace my frt. tire before I go anywhere though. On a sad/mad note , ![]()

All I'm doing other than the over maintenance I usually do is adding some risers and changing to a different tach. If the weather ever warms up.
My garage is not heated ![]()

I'll be replacing the front tire, and a rear crashbar, painting the fairing, repairing the cruise control. and giving the bike a once over. That should cover it for me.
