Wife asked me to get something out of the freezer in the Shed. This is where I keep the bike. I sat out there and drank a beer just looking at it. Came back in and asked what took so long. "I was just looking at the bike" then I got the look.
There have been times when I went into the garage for something, started staring at my bike and forgot was I was supposed to get.
Thank you all for letting me know I am not alone. I find myself opening up pix of her on the 'puter. Went out to the bike today and started the girl up.... it's 20 degrees and she didn't like it. Maybe time for a new battery. Felt good to sit on her. Twisted the wick a few times as she warmed up a little.... She settled in at 1050 RPM's.
Guess another month and I'll be giving her a good bath for her first ride of the year.
Is it spring yet?

Went for a nice ride today. Not sure how you guys make it months at a time without riding. We seldom go a week or two......
The plan is to have this trailer built. I've ordered it. Trailer builders are swamped and parts scarce. Try buying a boat this year. My trailer will be a mobile garage. A garage for the most part. This isn't the exact 5 X 8 - 24" V nose. I have a hatch door going in it on the drivers side. The tongue facing the house. This trailer will be parked in my backyard with the ramp facing the road. It will be backed up to the fence line. I swing open the fence and drop the ramp. My fence was already worked to swing open when I had my Lund. I will also install a camera in the trailer. I have surveillance here anyways. I keep one on my plants too. We can grow up to four. But the hatch is so I can look at her. It'll work as an awning too. May need to open it to use a jack w/handle.
What's the problem boys? You can't count up to four? Maybe you two should take your shoes off to count them.
Now **** off, I have to make room for my Harley. I like big bushy plants that yield much flower.
The bikes are machines . they come and go . Some stay much longer than others. Go from first out to a spot farther back in line . But in the end still just a machine . However they still manage to become part of the family. They get nicknames assigned by someone.
They come up and are included in many family conversation. The family photos seem to have a lot of Harley's them. Go on a long vacation ride. get checked in at lodging and take off to local car wash to get the bugs off before doing much else.
Just a Machine.

At the end of the day, toys or machines. My blessed collection of Big Red Machines, Caroline, Shiloh and Suzanne or Cherry ( I need more seat time, but she got the way to move me).
I love them and have sat and admired them for a couple hours with a beer or two. I'm Goofy, weird and need a life, but tell someone that cares. :-)
