Been cleaning up the yard , repairing fences , cleaning the pool. We have had a peak at spring here the past week , but rain Monday. Lots to do cause I did almost nothing during the winter. The back yard is a hang out when weather warms and has to look good. After the rain passes it’s time to ride the tracker , give it some fresh fuel , check the tires & oil. Directly out of town seeking open spaces , find a quiet farm road and let her rip. Gonna have to head into the hills above the farmlands , find some new twisties. Hopefully this time next year I will be on the 250 , on Sundays !

I did

I needed some "Wire-Nuts" to complete the first "Lighting-Circuit" at my son's house we're building. So , I got a ride (w/long way home) and a project done today too ! Wink

........

I needed to refill the fuel tank while I was out .
So
With 187.3 miles on the trip set it needed 3.02 gallons to refill. The motor only has less than 750 miles on it ... so ... it's still getting loosened up.
I think it needs a nice long ride to Texas or something similar. !

Long , LOng , LONg , LONG ... Way . !

I ran out of the first box of them ! Wink

I figure they will be camping in the lower level about time warm weather sets in
and
be ready for cool weather by next fall ?

Those "Turn-Key" houses are REALLY EXPENSIVE !!!

Especially in the 3000 foot , three level sizes .

................

I'm switching to the down-stairs bathroom next.
Then they could campout , if they want .

A few more storm systems to blow thru then it on. Everything is ready to bust out into bloom , birds nesting in the yard. I would have to say the ground hog was correct this year , an early spring !

Donner Pass is expecting up to 10' of snow. Spring fever, eh?

-----------------

I have an e-MTB and an e-road bike. Pretty high-performance, relatively low-powered and pedal assist only. They are very quiet and maintain a more natural cycling feel. I love them.

I've also ridden a few other lower-performance eBikes and they are cool too. They were mostly heavy city bikes. I can't say I enjoyed those bikes but I enjoyed where they took me.

Yeah I currently have a 35/40 year old mountain bike , a higher quality but old m/b , seems I only ride it very local or only when I need it for transportation. I like that it’s still a bicycle. You can take it almost any where. They make trailer hitch carriers for them. 60-80 range. Sounds like some very cheap exploring , no spark arrester/silencer needed !

This is the earliest I have ever taken them off - it is not unusual for us to get snow or ice storms in March. Only time will tell if I was too anxious!
