April already.  Evenings like this, when it is warm on the hilltops and chilly in the valleys, I really get in touch with the reality of motorcycle riding. We are much more connected with our environment, and hence I believe, more concerned with protecting and cherishing it.  

I was ill much of the winter and had to give up some things.  Sadly writing here was one of them.  I am back and hope to keep frequent posts of the thoughts and actions which keep this old man going.  I took my Moto Guzzi V65 into town tonight and found a special on ice cream at a local grocery store.  Now, full and getting sleepy, it is bedtime.  Tomorrow I work on another old Yamaha XS650.  Photo to be posted soon.  I've also decided to sell one of my 1972 XS2.  I have one that is redone and one original.  I'm selling the redone unit.  It's beautiful and correct.  If anyone out there is interested send me a message.
