The bikes are staged to get out for celebratory rides to establish hopes for good riding in 2025. Having only gotten my little Honda back together a couple days ago from three months of remediatory repairs, I am most excited to have her out for a romp today. Low 40ºs F today, while this was taken day before yesterday on the checkride in the low 60s . . . edit: This New Year's Day, rode the GB500 a thirty mile loop over the river and back. At 43ºF/6ºC, my fingers said, "Enough !" edit/2: Got mySport out 36 miles through the hills. My, but these V11 motors do love to ring in this cool air!

There are some January first traditions. For example in France there is the January 1st, sea swim. it is not as difficult as you imagine. Perhaps we should have one V11 outing on each January 1st? Today is an incredible lovely day in H'town, blue skies and cool temperatures, but not cool enough to make it unpleasant. Time for a ride, on my Quota...

Good luck and may the planets align for you mate. Cheers

I couldn't get out on the 1st., unfortunately. Looking at the weather, and my work schedule, I probably wont get out the next couple of days either. Work, and snow predicted over the next couple of days. But Monday the 6th. is predicted to get up to around 13°C, with a bit of rain beforehand to wash away the salt on the roads. And I have the day off. Fingers are crossed.

@PJPR01 If you have not yet registered, check your email first. Those who completed tour 2023 received a discount code to apply to their 2025 registration. Unfortunately, I did not check my email before I registered, and I was not the only one. Funny that people expects you to read email immediately after they send it.

I didn't post that, but here's how I see it: Loius Pasteur - the inventor of the process (aka science) of pasteurizing milk to prevent disease... but there is now some interest in raw milk products, thus denying the scientific evidence. So Louis is good example of a person who would be wondering about some widescale rejection of evidence. As a scientist, Louis would probably be just as surprised to learn that his consciousness continued to exist beyond the death of his body. Happy New Year What was this thread about?

Saw this band in a Boston bar first time '72. Great bar band. Saw them many times back in the day...maybe because we were always in bars...

One of my favorite ballad, bluesy style, played by my favorite guitarist;

Science says red is fastest. Just look at the arrest records.

It is not about safety or compliance , it is a revenue producing feature.

The A1 Teepee Rest Stop on FM170 is really isolated. That's a shame because FM170 seems like a real scenic route. Yes indeed, the planning! this year I am going to spend more time at each outing.

I don't think David thought this one through, because you are the third person that I know of who missed it. I registered 8' into the new year and I took Option B too. It is an incentive. I am probably going to do the Pediatric Brain Tumor run too. Option B is within the realm, at least four stops are; the fifth one is a bit of a loner, but who knows, maybe the Quota will feel like going that far...
