First Ride of 2025 (April 22, 2025)

Later than usual, but with the massive rain storms and wild temperature swings of this Spring, have not gotten the Triumph ready for the road. 

However finally getting some great weather and got the motorcycle out for its first ride of the year. Did a good preflight on it, checked tire pressures, chain (which I also oiled) and put in the battery.

Took it out for a test ride, thankfully did not go far as I had a loose positive cable and lost all power. Walked a few blocks to the house for tools, then back to the bike. Got back at the battery and tightened it up. 

Photo at left is from the second test ride, which was fine. Will do another one of those in the next day or so. Good to get my knees in the breeze again!
