Well then, I guess it's come to this for you then ferret: randomly applying RLETs wherever they can be fitted: levers on the ATV or perhaps the snowblower? Maybe you could stretch one out to fit the toilet flush lever? Whatever it takes really to get you through this lull.

You're a better man than I MT! At 15F I'd have to have a real good reason to leave the house at all (much less on a bike).
I took the CB750 out to run errands in the morning, then took the CB1100 out to the airport to do some plane maintenance. It's days like today that make our hellish summer worth it.

Now THAT'S funny! I can picture it!
Just returned from a week vacation in Jamaica. Mid-80's every day, gentle Caribbean breeze, soft sand beaches, refreshingly warm sea. Hate to admit it, but motorcycling was nowhere on my mind except for the time spent responding to threads on this forum.
Ride more. Worry less.

Took the CB out in the AM. Rode to my friends coffee shop and then to the Harley Dealer to drop off the front fender of the XR1200 to be painted.
In the afternoon I took the Guzzi out. Looking at north Ogden and Ben Lomond Peak. Snowline looks to be around 7,500-8000 feet ..bike is sitting at 4500. Winter bypassed Utah this year and went straight for the south east coast. First time the Racer has been on the road in months (had to have the rear drive leak fixed and finally found a shop in the SLC, Utah area that would do it).

Did not note the temperature today, but it was very comfortable.
Just over 100 miles to Red Spring, lunch at Fuddruckers then north out of the valley to Corn Creek.
Walked the boardwalk at Red Spring (serious deterioration) and hiked to the north of Corn Creek.
Trip computer indicated 2.0 gallons used and that is what the tank took (barely).
3121 miles since 7 Nov 2017.
Did some yard work when I got back. Patio thermostat was at 61 F at ~4 PM. 74 F in the garage (faces south).
