You've been having a rough time WW. You WILL get through it and it WILL improve. Ride and Tinker as often as you can and the passion WILL return, slowly but surely. Stay with it. We are with you on this.

Hang in there WW. The ebb and flow of one's psyche is normal. I have a passion for a lot of different things and my interest for one or the other peaks at different times. I would bet your excitement for riding will come back soon. How about a road trip?

No road trips except in the Ranger right now. Might do some overnighters if and when I get some bags on the bike. At the moment I am SOL with my body. Pulled something in my right shoulder and to top it off my back decided to revisit some old bruised discs that have not bother me since 2006. And yes, I'm doing therapy and what not.

Take care of yourself. I can relate to the aches and pains that the so-called "Golden Years" bring. I would like to turn in my back for a new one.
On another note, our riding has been limited recently due to the heat here. The coolest day we have seen for a week was 104 degrees. It was 114 and 115 two days prior to today. By the time I get home from work, I am medium rare. |

My wife uses the car as I am strictly a two wheeler. The years riding up north toughened me up to tolerate just about any weather conditions. My biggest concern in the heat is the wear and tear on the air cooled GZ. I automatically change to a 20/50 weight oil in early June because I know what's coming.

Just a quick update. Have not done any of my projects on the bike. Just some short rides and mid night coffee runs into Vancouver.
But the bike will be finished for spring. It now lives in my apt with me where there is heat, adequate light and a coffee pot. All my tools are handy too. Driving lights will be working, air horn will be installed, Nelson-Rigg textile saddle bags will be on and some floor boards to replace the foot pegs. Oh yeah. I got some black reflective tape to put on the bike. It is black like the bike but shines a brilliant white when light hits it. I have some on my helmet. |
