I plan to ride at least into the upper 20's as last week a 34 degree day wasn't too bad. I night need to add coveralls. Might even add a windshield for the winter.

I think you got shafted on the trailer, but being the kind of guy that I am, I will take it off your hands and you will only lose three or four hundred dollars.

Hello Taco,
Wasn't those little Honda CT bikes great? I have a 1969 CT90 I hope to restore one day. Will probably put a Lifan engine in it.

Maybe it's the blue color but I kind of like its looks. Not a dual-sport but not a crotch-rocket. More of a dolled up standard.

I also smell gas fumes when it is over 90 degrees. I thought it was the "pitcock" but realized it was the gas cap "venting". Sitting on the bike I would lean over to turn the pitcock and my nose...

Remember the speedometer reads in miles but the odometer reads in km's.

Short road trip

I took a 166 mile road trip on the back roads of Arkansas today on my GY-5 and had a blast. Small state highways are great weekdays as there is little to no traffic.

I use WD-40 to "clean" my chain before I put "chain lube" on it. Cleaning and lubing your chain is kind of a "black art", ask 100 people and you will get at least 90 different answers.
