Three weeks ago we had a mild day and I was able to roll out the BSA and those "other two Brand X models." Time didn't allow getting the T100 out so it sat until today due to the cold and wet miserable weather.
That heatwave that has swept over the U.S. is now over us for the past couple of days and setting record high temps everywhere.
This morning I woke up to 21C (71F) inside my house. Usually it's 16C (60F) overnight kept there by the furnace.
It's now past noon and it's 76 inside the house. Yeah, I know, that's freezing to you southern boys
As warm and humid as it is , today was Bonnie day. I had been polishing her for the past couple of days and she looked a treat when I rolled her out into the sunshine.
I had replaced the 11 year-old Yuasa battery a few weeks ago and she started right up and is now residing in my garage with her other friends. Can you believe the age of that old battery! But I wasn't willing to test fate any longer and bought a new one - and it's not as if the old one owed me anything
On Saturday a few of us are riding to a flying club about 70-80 minutes away to see the Vimy flight. These are the Canadian replica WWI planes that flew in Vimy, France, for the anniversary a few weeks ago. The Air Force flew them back and they're making a tour so this is a chance to see them. The brother of one of our club members pilots one of the planes.
I'll be riding a "Brand X" and will save shiny Bonnie for a ride on Sunday.
If I get any decent pictures I'll post them later.
