Went for a ride yesterday morning .
Sarted the bike, go to pull the clutch...nothing: FROZEN SOLID.
About 15 minutes later it warmed up enough to operate.
About 20 min later I started to freeze, instead.
Good times...

Happy New Year to all of you and yours!

Pretty sure I got my last 2018 ride in back in October.
Looking forward to April or May to start riding again.
Don't have a picture for this year. Here's a picture of my last ride of 1964, though:

My last ride was only around the block, from the back of my house to the front. Not much of a ride, but I considered it a win. The bike had a terrible rattle; the finding and fixing of which required removal of the tachometer and disassembly of the headlight assembly. But the ride around the block was rattle-free! No pics though.
Rode today in pure sun at about 60 degrees...This pic was from today's ride.

Does that sign say "Ogden 768 Miles"? Since when is Ogden 768 miles from Littleton?

So, if anyone gets out and rides today it will definitely be their final ride of 2018.
My last one of the year was Christmas Eve. Too much going on yesterday to ride.

If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.
