December in Richmond VA

December 5, 2009 to be exact. Went to Ultimate Cycle to see if their motorcycle batteries were cheaper than the one I priced at RideNow in Concord (and that would be a....nope!). Will be ordering that this week probably. Might get back and see if it starts when I get home to Carolina. Of course, be nice if it would quit raining. Another wet day in Richmond (and in Carolina too, though since I am not there, no big deal) but nice to visit the bike shop. When I am not riding, I am thinking about riding; so great to have Ultimate Cycle nearby.
Been also doing a lot of looking at new bikes (though not in the market, very happy with the Vulcan Classic) but some interesting bikes coming out in the next few weeks and months from the manufacturers. Though the economy blows, there will be some interesting bikes in 2010. A bit of manufacturer news; HD is NOT going to put a factory in Kentucky after working out contract problems with the Union at the York facility. Also speaking of Harley (sort of) have been enjoying greatly episodes of "Sons of Anarchy" which I watch on Hulu. Hulu is great, but being part of the upcoming Comcast purchase, will probably get ruined under their ownership.
Saw that Buell is still going to be making some bikes; based on the 1125R and its Rotax engine (no more Harley engined Buell's). That motor (unlike the HD engines) is a real modern beast with a lot of power. Think that Erik Buell is one of the most innovative designers out there, wish him the best of luck.
As for me, enjoying a rainy day in Richmond, waiting till the next ride.
