RE: Winter projects
My biggest project is learning how many layers of clothes are needed for the different temps. I've about got it down. Some days I'm over dressed, some I'm under dressed...but I'm getting it zeroed in.

RE: Winter projects
My bike was crying for some maintenance and a good cleaning. I pulled a lot of grease and grime off this winter. I had a cracked outer sprocket cover, old oil hoses, old battery cables, dirty leaking carburator, both tires were old as dirt, rust had formed on the engine in areas where water wouldn't drain after it rained (I ride in rain...but I don't really know why), and a lot of paint had worn off or flaked of and needed painted again.
I started off by just trying to make the bike safer to ride, but you know how it goes. Once you take this apart, that get easier to get to to fix, so why not fix that too. And while you're at it.....I'm almost done now. If fact, I took a slow ride around the block today to see if anything was going to fall off or fall apart. I made it back as always....it's a good running bike.
