Roads were delightfully dry and salt free, probably won't be that way again until April, but still loads of fun 

Cheers,
Adam

Do you get to talk to the constabulary every time you ride?

Say what?! I didn't speak to anyone

nice  [moto]

Went for a spin around the block yesterday on the /5.  Started up on the 5th or 6th kick, did its side-to-side shake on the centerstand for a few minutes until it warmed up and then ran like a top.  The roads were in pretty good shape, and since things take a while to approach on a 40-year-old bike there was no drama even when there was some mid-corner gravel or sand.

Last fall.  1970 R50/5, 23k miles, runs great, looks pretty good.  It was my Dad's bike but health issues prevent him from riding anymore so he gave it to me.

Yup, just started here.  Not much accumulation yet.

Nope, we ended up with maybe 1/4" accumulation. Sun is out now, back up to 40 degrees and snow is melting...

the roads are very icy here in NW CT

and about 4" of the white shit...

We're getting some more of that white shit now, but I don't expect it to last...
