RE: April is in the books
For me I'd say 18/30 days for 2648 miles. All CB baby. The days are just an estimate, but I really did log almost over 4000km this month. So far May is 0/2 but I may ride tonight, definitely tomorrow. So much rain here lately.

Same here, I lived in San Diego 81-91. Now in S.E. Idaho and man what a change; snows 8-9 months a year.

RE: April is in the books
You guys that live in those horrid cold climes must really be chomping at the bit when the weather is good enough to ride.

I'm 12 days and 1200 miles ahead of 2016 which was a pretty good year (a little over 25,000 miles and 323 days riding)

We had rain last night and simply horrible winds today. Managed to get in 162 miles on my CB, plus some miles test riding a dealers bike.

Thursday I leave for an ST dealie in Indiana and it's supposed to be cool and rain every day uggg. Oh well, it's only water.

RE: April is in the books
I drove to my Honda dealer today .... in my Impala. It was cold, raining and windy.

When I came back there was a Redwing Blackbird pushed against the garage door trying to get out of the weather. It didn't move when I opened the garage, so I left the car out. As I went up to it, it moved a little farther into the garage where it was dry, and made no attempt to flee or fly. I left the garage door open and went in the house.

A few hours later when the weather had improved I went back to the garage. The blackbird was not on the floor. But just to be sure I checked the garage, as we have a large male Persian cat that likes to sleep on my workbench there. I found it between two storage bins on the top shelf of a bay of shelving. It made no effort to escape and did no cry when I picked it up. But since it had made it to the top of the shelf, I was pretty sure it could fly. Took it outside and gently tossed it in the air. It immediately took flight and disappeared around the front of the house. I guess even the birds are getting fed up with the cold and damp.

But every cloud has a silver lining. The Powersports Canada manager said my 2017 CB1100 EX is in a roadrailer heading east from Vancouver. They cannot ensure it will be here next Monday for my 71st birthday, but expect delivery no later than mid-May. I guess it's time to start some serious negotiating on the purchase price and trade-in, and get the paper work done.
