On the first day of meteorological Spring, got the motorcycle out. Did a lot of checking and of course put the battery back in. Was great to get out and got in one of the last rides as a revisit from last year. Rode out to Vandalia and the dam there, which is in the bottom two photos below. Made another stop at a very old cemetery in Dayton. They are just beautiful places which is nice considering why they are there. It was a very nice ride and good to be back on the motorcycle again. I plan to do some cleaning this morning, and possibly get in another ride on Thursday, but will see how that goes.
Was in a Harley shop a few days ago. To be honest a problem here is that there are no Triumph dealers within 100 miles (the nearest is in Cincinnati) unlike Richmond where a very good one is right in town. It is where I purchased the Speedmaster.
Test rode a Harley-Davidson Softail and it was interesting. I dont really fit the bike being 6'2" and the seat height being like 27 inches. Felt really cramped and while there are things you can do (higher seats and extended controls) ads cost to what is already a "pricey" motorcycle. I think I will pass on this bike, and take a look at what Kawasaki and Honda have to offer. Had some great rides from those guys.
