Hey fellow GPZ'ers - not on a GPZ but a nice first ride this year after
having the service done (on my Honda 2016 Africa Twin). You get a good
impression of the area in Switzerland where I live now.

Thanks.  I needed that.  The river in front of my house is still 
frozen solid the 3 km (2 miles) across except for the few places with 
rapids or other fast water plus the forests have 1/2 a meter or more 
of snow.
  The weather for the next couple of weeks looks good for producing 
maple syrup (just above freezing during the day to below freezing at 
night) but not for bringing on the spring melt.

Thanks Alex,

That gives me a nice taste of spring.  It was nice enough in Denver, CO to
ride this last weekend, but my Ducati is still in the shop after two
months, waiting for a new Arrow exhaust from Italy. I finally moved the
Vulcan from storage to the place I'm staying and the GPZ is sleeping in
Greensboro, NC at my GF's house where I rode it last May.  No riding right
now because I'm packing and moving to Greensboro, NC at the end of April,
time for a fresh start at life.  I will miss the Colorado mountains, but
not the cold and the traffic and there are lots of new roads to travel.

Thanks Alex. Green grass, wow.
The Voyager came out yesterday for short S. Alberta neighborhood ride and fuel-up. 6-7 weeks before garden seeding.

What a wonderful ride, Alex :) Thanks for the video :)

For me the riding season hasn't started yet, for a couple of reasons. 
One is the usual: Salt on the roads. Although the riding season 
officially begins on the 1st of March, it's often mid April or even 
later before the roads are free of salt. This week sees several snow 
showers, and during the night the temperature drops to -5 deg. C. So the 
roads are salted almost every evening/night. The second reason is that I 
just had my eyes fixed. Over the last 6-9 months I apparently developed 
cataracts, and it became increasingly difficult to drive at night. 
Oncoming headlights resulted in bright starlight-like glare in all 
directions. Even on a bright day the world appeared hazy and colorless, 
almost yellowish, and text on a computer screen appeared as blurry, 
light gray letters on a white background. By the time I got to the eye 
clinic I had 30% vision left on one eye and 50% on the other. I had one 
eye fixed a couple of weeks ago and the other a week later. I had almost 
forgotten how bright and colorfull the world can appear, even on a gray 
winter day. But for the next couple of weeks I'm not allowed too much 
wind in my face and certainly no dirt, so no motorcycle riding just yet. 
Actually the winterly weather just now suits me well ;)

Other than that the GPZ is ready for the season, now with 235.000 km 
(146.000 miles) on the tacho :)

Ped, Congratulations on the successful cataract surgery.  I had this a few
years ago and it's a life changer.

Best regards,

Charles S.

Ped, heal up and feel. Better. I know what you mean about the cold weather suiting you right now. I had my right hip replaced to match my left one last week and I'm limping around at this point. It'll be another 5-7 weeks before I can ride again, but like you, I Can't wait to get back out in two wheels. Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Ralph L Angelo JrAuthor of Cool Stuff Http://tinyurl.com/ralphsamazon2
