My buddy had the idea today to visit a classic car, tractor and western market. So go there 
There was good live music from bluesrock to CCR,... a great afternoon with good motorcycling about 170 Km´s...!(And my buddy's machine, which i had serviced for him, also ran without any problems: no more squeaking brakes, electric starter and electrics again without any problems,...he had a lot of fun with the now worry-free bike..
..to be continued...

And the story goes on:
Next Sunday, my personal bike season starts, so, today, after the last 2 month of subzero´s and a LOT of snow, the temperatures rises up the last 3 days to about 14°C...and today i´ve pulled the bikes out, refreshing them with new oil, and than: Sound check !
Both bikes run like they shoud, happy again to start in a new season, always a verrry good feeling, to turn the throttles..!

Not time yet in central Massachusetts.
We got a 21" storm 3 weeks ago followed by another 18" a week later. This is what's left after the last week of 45 degrees and melting.

Yes, Scotty, it looked pretty much the same here 12 days ago... maybe not as much snow, only about 25-30 cm deep, but it snowed three times a day and I was kept busy clearing it all away... But now nature is bursting into life... it's still bare, but that will change very suddenly!
Another day, another dollar... and so I went for another drive today under sunny skies... it's always so much fun!

...and just back from another short trip...today with the A1.
(I have to make the most of every day, 1. because of the actually beautiful weather, and 2. because I'm going "under the nife" soon, and then I won't be allowed to drive for a good 14 days)
