Happy New Year to everyone. Here in NJ it’s supposed to be 60 deg and sunny tomorrow. Going on a group ride with the Retreads and a local BMW MOA group that invited us to join in. Can’t wait to start the year off correctly. Wishing everyone else the same.

By daybreak,it is to drop to an overcast 38 here in NE Ohio,and continue dropping.
I will see if I can start the year of right,or if I will have to wait until a sunny 45 on Friday,but I have to work then

I did get to start the New Year right.
I was able to get 29 miles on the VXII,and 7 on the Cushman,too cold to get much more!
We were out today and our group passed a vintage Moto Guzzi Ambassador and a couple older BMWs. Would have loved to see that Cushman on the street. I’ve never actually seen one of those in motion. Good times, my wife Claudine took this photo over my shoulder today.

The Cushman is a fun low speed ride .Although it will top out at 60MPH,40-50 is a much more comfortable speed.
I have put 1890 miles on it since I got it operational almost 6 years ago.
Dennis Carpenter has almost every thing needed for restoration.
Nothing wrong with a good back roads fun ride and never cresting 60 mph. I’m getting my BMW /2 reconditioned right now. Ran it a few years ago up at my camper, 100 miles a day for 6 days in a row and never got it above 60. I call it my Big Wiite Moped. Good memories.
A late happy new year to all. Here in North Carolina it was a great motorcycling day. Trisha and I went on a long ride 240 miles exploring new back roads. We found some nice ones but also found some that got us home but that was it. We left home at 9am temp was already 70, made our way north up to New Bern and met Trisha's cousin for lunch. New Bern was hit hard by hurricane Florence, Trisha's cousin and her husband were lucky, just the garage was flooded, which included one of the cars in the garage.
On our ride north we saw lots of Fema trailers in front or along side of empty homes. Even saw one 8 man tent along side a trailer being used as a home. It's hard to see this, but thanks to the US government these people are being helped. All of this rebuilding is going to take years, it took two months for the debris to be picked up in Wilmington. They worked 7 days a week from before sunup to after sunset.
