Havent been riding for a while, In fact the last ride was December when I moved the motorcycle from the apartment to the house. Since then it has been sitting in the little house. Reasons? Salt/sand from the snow(s) of late, rain and cold.A far cry from last December..but signs of Spring abound.
Sadly this is Velocity. Great motorcycle shop in Richmond and was open for 15 years. I dropped in there on February 13 just about cleaned out.Told the owner "did not want to put any more money in it. Great work and fair prices, it will be greatly missed.
I also went by Scoot Richmond. Started out as a Scooter shop, added Moto Guzzi, Zero motorcycles (electric) and Triumph. What you see here in a new 2016 Triumph Street Twin. Its the only one in (yet) of the new Bonneville line. That line will have three engines...a 900cc high torque engine (which is what is in the Street Twin, a 1200 High Torque (which will be in the T120 models) and a 1200cc High Power which will be in the Thruxton models. And yes, that is a radiator-all the engines are water cooled (though read the air fins on this motor are also functional). From my impression a sharp and well made motorcycle and a very interesting addition to the Triumph line. It is a bike that looks both to the past and to the future. While not in the market right now it is a motorcycle I could look at in the future.
We got some snow this morning, but the temperature is going UP tonight from the deep freeze of the past few days. Plus getting some rain which will wash a lot of the crap off the streets and it is possible that for the first time in a long time I may get to ride this weekend when the temperature is due to hit....61. Hopefully anyhow. Have been starting it and moving it and so far so good. A ride would sure be wonderful :)
