It's been a wile since the Yamaha has stretched its legs, maybe five months. It eagerly fired up this morning, ready for a foggy ride into work. It was a damp 38 degrees and the mist was dancing off Pickerel Lake in little wisps of fog. I stopped at the canoe launch to get a better look and take in this quiet little St Paul spot. There were geese honking from the far edge, wood ducks and mallards overhead, and a little muskrat hopped in after I got too close.
An all together excellent start to the day, made better by a hot cup of coffee as I sat down to work.
Riding season is back!

Time to take down the thin ice sign.
I was greeted to a little extra smoke while the bike warmed up.
A couple turns of the wrench on the crossover's clamp had it mostly taken care of. I can still get the muffler gaskets but the mufflers have been screwed onto the headers for almost 40 years and I'd rather not break that streak.
Nice looking Yamaha.
ReplyDeleteA chilly ride, but it looks like a beautiful morning.
Thanks! I love these cold mornings but it helps that I don't have far to go.
