Finally ...

Finally (I'm certain) the long winter has ended. Finally the roads are dry. Finally the temperature has risen. Finally the Star is back in the paddock. Finally the old sagging Gears bags have been removed and replaced by new Tourmaster and Iron Rider luggage ... ready for the her fifth summer tour.

Before

During (Naked as the day she was born.)

 After ... All (re) dressed.

 



Yahoo, Another Puddle!

The ice on the lake is slowly darkening as winter loses its grip in a failing battle against the long awaited spring. The bravest, first frogs have emerged from their deep hiding spots to bask in the warmth of the sun and serenade the changing seasons.
Has the VStar been brought out to do the same? No, not yet.
Why not? Because the harsh winter necessitated  an over abundant use of salt and sand on the roads and I’m still waiting for Mother Nature to bring on a cosmic, heavy down pouring, street cleaning, torrential rain since there are no street sweepers in the country…

BUT SHE IS TRYING ...

Okay, I could have taken another route ... what was his excuse?
