Well eyespy while everyone talks about how gay they look, I see a heckuva lot of riders wearing them. They definitely help keep the wind off your legs and keep them warmer but the areas not covered by chaps still can get a little chilly.Those leather bib overalls look pretty good to me. I really think they'd be the ticket. My wife doesn't like me wearing overalls cause she says they make me look even fatter. I'd rather slide down the road on my butt wearing them instead of chaps tho. I've got chaps but not the leather overalls. I usually put on an extra pair of pants a good jacket and then put my rain gear on. That works surprisingly well

It's been cold and miserable here in SLC since the last week of Nov. I'm hoping for a Jan thaw so I can get a ride in.

Suited up this mourn...... Had morning coffee and smoke, and headed for the bike shed !
On the walk to the shed, Im starting to rethink the liner in my Leather coat and have lost the thought of putting on my chaps.
Wipe some minor condensation from my tank with a Micro-Fiber... back the bike out on to the ramp.... Choke, key, Button... she fires...
AND thats when I heard it ![:@]

A slight rapping coming from the Primary every now and again.
Damn It !!!
Just did a 10k service last week... aint started her since.... and now it appears I did Not tighten the Chain snug enough... in fact I LOOSENED it ![]

Shucking cloths I put the bike back in the shed, and thirty minutes later I have her back out on the Ramp.
No knocking noise this time.

Missed the early mourn ride, but managed a couple hours in the afternoon... and then took Mrs Budds to Dinner and a Short ride in the eve.
Cloudy, Fair Temps, and spotty light showers...... But could been worse !

Anyways....

Budds................
