Trips back and forth to Alexandria account for the majority of the 1200 miles logged since mid-October. Alternate routes are limited and I am already bored with the trip, though one evening was so beautiful all my grumpiness disappeared just for the joy of riding! It's BAD when lack of variety robs much of the pleasure if being on a motorcycle! I'm a mountain girl, 40 miles each way of straight, flat road several times make me wish I could teleport! To be fair, it's better than snow, freezing temperatures and not being able to ride at all.
Rosie was stripped of her bags yesterday for the beginning of a good detailing. The new petcock for my daughter's Savage arrived Friday so we can get that up and running again. Even more exciting, we finally found her a "new" 1986 Honda Rebel 450 with only 10,ooo miles on it! It currently sits up in New York in my brother's garage, waiting until she can go up and ride it home.
