Yesterday, New Years Day, I was able to get a couple of short rides in.
The first ride was with Yagi, my Yamaha TW200 Dual Sport. Her new front tire feels good along with the new front brake pads I just installed.
Some patches of ice/snow remain in the neighborhood and in the RV Storage lot within Buckley Space Force Base where I took this picture:
The second ride was to Buckley SFB to get a shot of Brigitta, my '87 BMW R80. However, as I'd switched jackets due to the weather having turned colder; I managed to forget my VA ID card and was unable to get into the base.
I rode home in the usual heavy traffic of the mid-afternoon here in the cesspool that is the Metro Denver area. I am looking forward to getting away from here soon, perhaps as soon this coming Sunday. It all depends on the weather of course.
Still, it was almost a 20 mile ride for Brigitta, so its all good. Exercise is exercise, right?
Tuesday, January 2
Clear skies today, the sun warming things nicely into the 40s in terms of temperature.
After a visit to the VA Clinic, I rode Brigitta again back to Buckley Space Force Base and this time I managed to get in.
Here she is by the F-86F Sabre Jet that used to be part of the Colorado Air National Guard:

The bird on the mirror is great. Looks like he posed for you. Good luck with getting out of the Denver metromess.
Thanks Oz, the bird was just a fortunate happenstance. Perhaps a good omen for my upcoming departure.
Dom, I bet you can't wait to get away from the cesspool, eh? I hope for you that weather will cooperate and we see you venture out to where it's less crowded. Cheers, SonjaM
SonjaM, from your lips to the weather gods ears!
