January Short Ride

[Smithers]

Musical Motorcycles? Everyone getting ready to roll. Just enough sun left to ride on a cold somewhat windy day.

A short ride 41 East to Shandon and back on the 46. The windy 41 took a toll on this sad looking tire:

Time to kick off the new year with a burnout and a new set of tires!

It sounded like a good idea but the aftermath was a kick in the balls:

I was thinking of burning off some of my bald Dunlop rear but Art said that my tire was good enough to sell on Ebay. So I'll save it for a last hoo-rah on tomorrow's ride.

V Twin themed Saturday. There was thunder in them therr mountains east of Paso. We should have all lined up for a 3rd gear roll on but it was getting kinda cold.

The 996 Playstation Ducati was also out to play. Now if we only had a TLR1000 out with us we would have had the full range of Twins on display.

I needed a shot of the other side but at least we get to see the front end here. Awesome bike to have an a garage that's for sure.

Most insane restoration undertaking/commitment goes to Mr. Joe. He swears on a complete and true restoration of his Ducati 250cc by the end of the year.

He promises a perfect show winning example of the classic Duc or he will make a few modifications to make it more road-worthy ie: better looking fuel tank & some new handlebars... something like this:
