It cant really be over a month since the last entry?!

That just goes to show how much I have be in the saddle lately. Any free time is good enough for either the one hour Reg Rd 69 run, the two hour Lakeshore ride, three hour cruise out to Chippewa and then south on the Niagara Parkway to Fort Erie or even the 5 hour loop through Rd 69, Thorold Tunnel, up to Niagara-on-the-Lake and then south through Niagara Falls to Fort Erie and back home again.

I had a few problems with the baby lately. They started with a bunch of tacks in my rear tire, removal and new tube ran me 90 clams. Then a starting problem was traced back to the battery having a loose connection in the negative terminal. Although the screw was tight in the nut, the nut was loose inside the terminal so that it would vibrate out of place and presto...no go!!

I have since changed the oil, which didn't come without strife, the darn drain plug was on SO tight I had to wrench my back wrenching the bolt. The spark plug change went quite easily and the air breather was clean. The bike is running like a charm now.
