Getting it ready for spring, John.

Btw. It’s sat for 6 months with a half tank of non-treated cheap gas. I
dropped a fresh battery in it and it fired right off. No complaints
there. I don’t know about the nasty old gold wing being that easy...yet


Gosh, I ordered a basket yesterday for my instant pot cooker. From amazon.


How does it handle in the rain? Is it better than your Ducati?

You could well have deleted the prepositional phrase at
the end and still been truthful.

I don’t drive motorcycles in the rain.


I don't "drive" motorcycles period. I "ride" them.



Thought you sold yours...



I did. But I still occasionally ride my brother's bike.

I've had motorcycles going back to the early 70's. Lost count of
exactly how many but I can think of at least seven of them I've owned
over the years.

In all those years I have never heard anyone who rides a bike refer to
it as "driving" them. Makes me very suspicious that your claim to
owning one is nothing but a figment of your imagination.


That took a while!

Both terms are used, though ride is more common. When I started riding
on my used Honda in the early 1960s, out in Kansas, I participated in
some "rides" to Topeka, Wichita, Columbia, et cetera, but the guys would
says "we are going to drive our bikes this weekend to Topeka...you wanna
go with?" I wouldn't sweat it.


Bull****. Like Luddite, with over 200K on motorcycles, I've never heard bikers refer to a ride as a
'drive'.

Sorry. I just can't begin to imagine guys with bikes saying, "we are
going to drive our bikes this weekend to Topeka ..."

"ride" our bikes ? Yup. "drive" our bikes ? Never. Kansas must have
attracted some strange people.


Only one.
