We had a lot of rain yesterday and washed all the road salt away. Today we are expecting a high in the 40s and low in the 30s. I think I am going to ride to and from work. I need it.

I am scared to use that line. The risk outweigh the benefits. I can’t go hungry. ☺️

We had 53°F today. I already know it is short lived. I just need to say hello to my Ventures tomorrow. Still no ride this week.

@circa1968 Glad you are back riding. Things will go back to normal and we should all be able to go anywhere and whenever. I also have the same color scheme. I have an '07 RSV. Hopefully next month will be better than this month in terms of weather. Ride Safe.

Still snowing here as we speak to add an additional inch on the ground. Temperatures will remain in the mid 20's all day, but by Wednesday we should get a little bit of warm up and reach 40's. I'll just take it day by day here. My prayers to those that are affected by this weather disaster in State of Texas.

Just a little light at the end of the tunnel. We reached low 40's today and snow melting occurred everywhere, but it is short lived. We will be down in the low 20's again and mother winter is still very much around. I know it is not as bad as Canada, but on any day that a ride is not possible is deemed a sad day for me.

Melting snow all around and tons of salt on the roads. Mixed bag of freezing rain and sleet this Saturday. No end in sight yet. I think my February 2021 will come in as a 'No Ride' month.

I am speechless.

Nice! If there is a will, there is a way. Still snowing here, so no ride for the next 7 days or so. Have fun in the snow.

I finally received my recall letter from Yamaha for dealerships to replace the problematic front brake switch. So far, I don't have any problems on the brake switch and it is perhaps just a matter of time until I experience any trouble with it. I initially need to make an appointment then ride the bike to the dealership of my choice. With snow on the ground and more snow coming my way, it will be awhile until I can get this done. No ride days for the next 7 days at least. XX

My Prayers to your and your family and to all those that are affected by the Pandemic.

Rest In Peace, Kevin. 🙏

Thanks for sharing. Your daughter was really having fun on the pic. Great memories in the making.

Hello @BigLenny Your CanAm sounds like a lot of fun. Glad to see you are back after a short hiatus.

Same here...only if shipping is free.

I’ve never been to your State. It looks like a nice ride up your way.

I found this on the web and I usually trust Yamalube products for use on my bikes.

I also read this in the news last week and from what I saw on the pic, the building is already engulfed in flames. Did the building have any sprinkler system and/or a fire alarm system? I just don't know...Having said that, people in that part of the world will never be able to see them in person and enjoy history.

@skydoc_17Glad to hear from you again and that you are doing better. Keep in touch.

I second this idea. At first I kept on calling for my wife or my son to take a look at the 'oil glass sight' to check on the oil level, but almost always they are not around. So, I listened and followed member's suggestions...a telescoping mirror has many uses and now I can check my RSV's oil level with ease. I simply have to shine a light on the mirror for a better view.

The last time I called Yamaha Customer Service, an automated machine answered until it kept ringing and ringing...I'll try again this coming week and hope to get some clarification. It is not time for me to replace the belt, but any knowledge gained is beneficial.

I was reading through the service manual preparing myself to bleed my brakes and came across this on page 3-18. What is the difference here... 4.0 to 6.0 mm on maintenance stand.... 5.0 to 7.0 mm on what? Kick stand perhaps?

This is comforting to know, Yamaha assured you that the shop would take care of any battery issues. IMO, if it has not been started since Nov 22... I personally would like to plug in the battery on a tender even for just a few hours or so.

I agree...a May feel more confident on a trike while on snow. No leaning on a turn makes it safer. 😀👍🏻

@Jesusjunkie Welcome to the forum. I've thought about installing ham radio equipment on my bikes, but I realized that I need 100% of my attention on the road and enjoy the ride itself. That is what the HT is for...I take it with me all the time. The only time I use the radio when mobile is when I am on my cager. It takes a lot of planning and selecting the right equipment for your bike is the key. VOX operation may be your best bet when it comes to tx/rx. I am not trying to discourage you, but if you do install ham equipment on your bike...be safe out there. 73
