Picked up Dave Wongs this afternoon.
Last ride of 2024.
Another year has come and gone. I must have set a personal riding record for consecutive days ridden.
I heard a report on the radio stating 2024 was the hottest year ever recorded for our area. I do remember stretches of 100 plus degrees temperatures.

I can say after riding the sled for about 3000 miles, almost every day of the week.i have a good idea on the positives and negatives.

It definitely got interesting the last few months of year. was in a bad wreck and I spent weeks visiting the doctor’s office for wound repair. In a nutshell I had to counter steer off the side of the road to avoid a head on collision.
Good morning
On my way to work this morning I caught this gorgeous sunrise. I see quite a few cool sunrises during my commute but this one was so vibrant with the orange hue.

If you’re a rider these are the moments that will stop you on your journey to anywhere.
Maybe snow?
The weather forecast is showing rain and possible snow tonight and the morning hours when I leave for work.
This should make an interesting ride if it all comes about. I’ll take photos and a video.
Got new shoes
I ordered a set of Dunlop Elite 4’s. These are the set I’m currently riding on. I’m having good wear life on so far I figured I’d keep it the same.
The wear bars in the case of the Dunlops are “wear holes”. These don’t have the traditional rubber bar in the threads. I have a few miles left on mine, I’ll take the tires down a bit more before having it replaced with the new set.

Oil change log
Changed the oil and filter at 40,088 miles. I used Honda 10-30W Synthetic.
