Had a previous photo of the Honda Fury at RideNow in Concord, NC; they apparently sold that one, and have this new color in. Still think its a neat looking motorcycle, and the new Honda Sabre, and Interstate which comes out in February will be along much the same lines. Took this photo while at RideNow checking on a battery for the Kawasaki Vulcan (which of course will have to be ordered). The five year old battery on the bike is giving up the ghost apparently. On a Friday ride it did not start. A borrowed battery charger from a friend got me back on the road, but a new battery is upcoming. Need to be able to depend on the battery.
Santa though in front of my house does not have that problem. Had a great visit at home this holiday. Put some lights in the bushes, items in the windows (different light displays which stick on with suction cups) and got the tree up. It was an all day project (and part of the night) but at least in the house in Concord it looks a lot like Christmas! Love this time of year though not the best riding time of the year; but I do manage to get a few in. In fact while Friday was a bit cool, it got into the 60's on Sunday. Of course, being a "resident" of two cities as I am now, don't get quite as much riding in as I usually do; but I do the best I can.
Despite the battery problem once it was charged did get in a Friday ride. Rode out to Extreme Motorcycles in Salisbury, NC, and as I thought, it is out of business. Was a neat dealership which carried a lot of different bikes (Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Big Dog Motorcycles). Bike did start on Sunday and I went out around Concord. Went to Cannon Village in Kannapolis, NC to see if the lights were in the trees. They were...and Patty and I drove out later Sunday night to see the trees all lit up...a nice Christmas time display! All in all got in close to 100 miles of motorcycle riding over the two days I rode; not too bad for late November. Good thing about North Carolina riding though is that with the proper gear for the weather, its possible to ride all year. That was a whole lot harder to pull off in the Ohio Valley during my Louisville days. Best wishes to all of you for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
