I’ve only used the kick start once on the Honda. Maybe I should try and do what you do and see if I can get the buzz too!

Same with the W650. Kicked it once. Maybe I’m lazy. I’ll try and use them both more often and see how it makes me a better man!

Wind therapy. Good medicine. I had some thing morning.

For me it seems to be the ideal collection. Something for almost any ride I want to make. Sitting here now with Google Maps plotting a trip along part of the Mid-Atlantic BDR for Paul and I on our Honda Trail 125 motorcycles. I think we’ll do two of the expert sections. That should be fun. And nice to have a bike with a kick start in case the battery goes bad!

Thank you Don. It’s good to know you see the picture I try and paint.

Warm here too though it appears we’ll have some rain and thunder every afternoon for the next few days. I’m typing fast before the power goes out!

Glad to provide the ride.

I hope you can find your way back to the road. Can’t imagine how unsettling it would be for me to not have the opportunity to ride.

And thank you for the kind words about the post. I appreciate them.

I certainly am stimulated by a ride. It gets my mind and body moving. And it always makes me smile.

I’ve noticed the Himalayan seems to be loosening up. Feels more powerful and smoother as I put more miles on it. I’m only at 3K though so I have a way to go perhaps.
