Last ride of April (April 30, 2025)

Beautiful day to get out on this last day of April. A bit cool with temperatures in the lower 50's, but I was dressed for the ride. Got out once again in the country (which is very nearby frankly). Rode through George Rogers Clark Park, visited some cows on farms and even saw an aircraft at the local airport. Backroads rides even took me to the edge of Springfield once again. 

It was a wonderful day to get out, covered some 30 miles and enjoyed every one of them. 

 

Sunday Ride (April 27, 2025)

After a couple of test rides over the last few days, took a 40 mile ride on a beautiful Sunday. Rode out through some beautiful backroads, and took a ride through Snyder Park in Springfield, Ohio. Stopped for a photo there, seen at left. 

Later went by George Rogers Clark Park, the house in the photo at bottom dates to the mid-1800's. Did not ride through the park, but have often and certainly will again.

Was a wonderful ride and had a great time. As always thanks for visiting my pages  

 

Test Ride 2 (April 24, 2025)

Saw this art work in Fairborn, Ohio this morning during my second ride. Once again watched distance from home as I checked out the motorcycle. All good on this second test ride. 

Did a bit over 20 miles this morning, and temperature was just under 50 degrees. Beautiful day here but expecting some rain later tonight and tomorrow, so thought getting this ride in was a good idea. It was, enjoyed being out early on a Thursday. 

Thank you for visiting my pages.  

 

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!
