The weather is beautiful today here on the Northern CA coast. I think I'll take a ride out to watch the tsunami come in (high ground of course).

Yep, it was indeed nice. However, I was working on stupid forks that I still can't get apart to replace the seal on. However, I have a nice new (to me and the bike) set of forks coming. When they get here the test ride happens, even if it's raining at the time.

You guys in Ca live the life man. I'm going to the beach all this wknd coming up - but a foot & a half of ice on the lake - ice fishing.

Hey Greg: Y'know, your right. They are saying its gonna be 7 & 9 celcuis (don't realy know faranheit anymore) on sat & sun this wknd. All my work in bike is done - If I can get it the 30ft on the snow & ice from the shed (man cave workshop - best thing I ever built) to the then will be clear or snow ice gravel driveway, I may kiss off the ice fishin on Sunday & go for a ride - very, very wishfull thinkin. If it happens have to watch for all the sand on the roads from the winter - slippery till spring rains wash it away. I was just talkin to a buddy of mine @ lunch who has a hotrod & he's chopin at the bit too. - Spring is always exciting - Dan'81 XS1100 LH - Midnight Special - been lookin' a long time for this one.
