Moved the Honda inside to wait on a starter, moved the Sportster outside as now starting good and runs. Was hoping for a roadtest to see how she runs under load but rain moved in. Delaying the test as I’d prefer dry road to test on.

Left it inside the shop all day, because it has been raining all day long. I don't mind riding in the rain, but not when it is 50 degrees. Where is the large bright light that is usually in the sky during the day?

Yeah, that is the one. It is usually up there during the day time. Didn't see it at all today.

And on another subject....I have been very good all year. Too old and tired out to be bad.

Just been hanging out in the shop and working on broke stuff or building stuff from junk. Since I been good this year, Sandy Claws is bringing me a brand new, plug and play, trailer hitch for my Can Am F3-S Spyder. Already got a little trailer that I used to pull with the Sporty Trike. Gonna be much easier hauling stuff with the scooter again. No sense driving a 17 MPG truck 30 or 40 miles for something small and light that will fit in the little trailer.
