It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it's 2025 but we are over a week into it now and I'm working. Yup,I'm painting some rooms. Usually when I am working over the holidays I have a good year so I'm hoping this holds true for this year. I need a break. The last couple years have been tough with this never ending leg problem but even that seems to be letting up some so fingers crossed. Smiley suddenly dying back in mid December was really hard on both my wife and myself. She was part of our family for 30 years. Well, we all meet this fate. There is nothing that escapes the end, not even a tortoise. So, now it's time to look forward to spring. I'm thinking about starting to get the Moto Guzzi all fixed up to travel on this coming summer. The new seat is here and the other day a guy saw my ad in the Moto Guzzi club's classifieds looking for a headlight bucket. He gave me a good deal so it's now here waiting for me to get it ready for paint. Yesterday I worked hard all day and my leg didn't hurt so perhaps there is light at the end of this dark tunnel. I turn 76 in April and all I want to do is RIDE !
Sometimes I think I may do it this way instead of riding the motorcycle there and back across the country. There is nothing really special about riding from NY to the Rockies. It's a pretty boring ride until you hit the Rockies and beyond to the Pacific. So many decisions to make and I need to make them soon.If I go in my little Chevy S10 what bike do I take.I'm thinking smaller may be better.Well, I have a month or so to make up my mind.
If I do go this way I want to get a receiver hitch and one of those bike racks that goes behind the tailgate so I have room for my gear in the bed and I can unload and load the bike easily by myself.
Something like this only better. The wheels are turning !
