Really brief update.
Bangor Motor Sports now officially deals in British Steel. Triumph motorcycles could be in the showroom as soon as three weeks from now, but late April to early May is more realistic.
Can't wait to get my Bonne!!!

March Madness
Well it's time to come out of motorcycle hibernation. I have been able to extend my streak of consecutive months of motorcycling in Maine to 38 months. April is in jeopardy, but that's another story.
Though central Maine has had little snow cover this year, we got a storm worth 10 inches about a week ago. My supervisor (aka wife) and I were in Arizona experiencing cactus and 82° when this happened. I was sure my driveway would be a mess when we returned and that motorcycling would be postponed by another couple of weeks. Never fear. My neighbor ran their snow blower up and down my driveway a few times so when I returned it was totally free of snow. Then on Thursday we had a warm day. Not warm by Arizona standards, but the high temperature reached 59°, 22° higher than our average for the day. That plus wind and sun combined to eliminate all snow that hadn't artificially been piled up. By late morning the temperature was sufficiently high that a ride was in order. So I zipped around Bangor and Brewer for a few hours visiting friends. The only problem was that water was everywhere. The roads were covered with little streams produced by the melting snow. The NT with all of it's tupperware came through and I didn't get wet at all.
Unfortunately she's a mess. Perhaps we'll get another warm day when I can clean her up. Who am I kidding, I'll ride instead!!!
