PAID IT OFF!

Our snow day(which was completely unnecessary BTW) allowed me to run some errands. Dropped by the bank and made my last 3 payments. $324 bucks later, they are gonna mail me the title. The loan amount was so small and interest was 0.9% that way t would have been silly to put my cash in all at once. Now it’s time to start using that payment for gas money and more adventure.

Loved it. Thanks for sharing. I have been photographing and making videos of all my riding adventures for as long as there were camcorders and cameras. I enjoy creating the memories and sharing them with the friends I ride with or just create something to remember later on. I wish there was a spot on the Forum where people could post their videos. A dedicated area. I am not talking about endless footage of the road, nobody wants to see that, but videos like yours where you can see others adventures. It might be boring for many but I enjoy it plus you get a chance to see what other areas look like. Thanks again.

Have watched it rain torrentially all day long in N. GA. Glad I'm on high ground, lot's of flooding going on. If it was cold here, we'd have a foot of snow. Reminds me of the saying, Fight like you're the third monkey in line to Noah's Ark, and brother, it's starting to rain!

Walked by her to get in the car, as I have done since a little after Thanksgiving. Promised her she'd be back together before the end of March. (And perhaps ridden around in the neighborhood soon thereafter.)

I still want to try a Russell, even though I love my Laam.

Goddamn it’s been rainy. I’ve ridden in a monsoon damn near every day this week. My front and back yards have standing water and they normally drain quite well.

Bike hasn’t been dry in a while. Have to hang gear up with a fan otherwise there’s no chance of it being dry the next morning.

As usual, with spring in sight, I’ve pondered pulling the Cee Bailey and putting one of the other shields on, and considered pulling the barkbuster storms. But it’s really not time yet. Might do it anyway....

Installed my new Hiflofiltro air filter. Very impressed with Hiflo, looks just as good as OEM, but quite a bit less expensive. I also bought the Hiflo oil filter and that looks good too.
