Dang it looks like its been pretty quiet around here lately. You would think summer is here or something!

All this warm weather this week in the forcast and I'm sitting here at work doing not a whole lot, so my boat sits there calling my name. Dang it!!! Work getting in the way of fun. Maybe in 10 years I can retire..... at least for the summer and winter. That way I can enjoy summer and head south for the winter. I wouldn't mind working for spring and fall, or at least thats what I have convinced myself of.....

Evening Tammie, hope you have some fine weather.
I too love Canada, it`s the best place to live...Other than some of our winters......
I don`t have a boat but I think that my motorcycle is calling my name....

I won't live anywhere else but Canada either. I've seen many countries in this world and none are better than our Canada.

I'm not really into -40 in winter but hey, it's usually only a few days right?????

What have you got for a motorcycle Morris? Fall is coming up quick so you better get some use out of it quick.

Thats the way to do it. Get a little one until you get used to it and then go get a big bad boy Harley! Not that I'm a big Harley fan but you get my point I'm sure.

I`m going the other way......Getting smaller now.
Years ago I had a dressed Kawasaki 900. My last one was a 500Xl, I should have never sold that one!

Or maybe just getting slower.....
I just don`t trust city drivers any more, when I quit riding motorcycles there were just too many close calls form drivers not paying attention!
With this one I can do some trails around my farm and the occasional pavement ride during the ''quiet hours''.

It`s running great. I bought new tries and I`ll replace the chain, then I should be good to go.

The sprockets look ok and the chain isn`t real bad. I`ll see better when I get the new chain on. It does make sense to replace everything at once though.......

Hey Jack, hope your stepson comes home safe and sound.
I can`t find a #530 chain that isn`t the O ring type, the O ring chain is over $100 and regular chain would be in the $30 plus range.
If I could get new 520 sprockets and new chain but there doesn`t seem to be a listing for my old 350......
