Anyone Go For Any Rides Lately Or Been Working On Their Bike?

Well, I took my VT500FT Ascot out to run an errand to Home Depot this morning. Of course I just "had" to take the long way home. ;) That bike is sure cold blooded, but once it warms up it rides real nice. It feels like an old friend due to my owning one in the late 80's.
When I was leaving the Home Depot parking lot this morning... An older man was walking two Cockapoo (sp?) type of rat dogs across the parking lot. As I started to pull out, one of the little rat dogs started yapping at me & tried to attack me. The man started trying to reel him back in & was yelling at him to stop. Funny thing (to me anyway) was that the dog's name was Harley. My Honda was being chased down by a Harley. LOL!
Sometimes real life is funnier than fiction!

Anyone else out there riding, or wrenching?
It's still raining here. Just enough to keep the streets slippery. >:( Other than everything being very wet, it would be great riding weather. Not too hot & not too cold, just right.
Let's hear what you all have been up to, so I can live vicariously by listening to your stories. LOL!

Nothing too crazy
Cleaned out the garage the other day then went to pick up a 1982 CB650SC Nighhawk

WOW!!! :o You can see the floor in your garage.
Nice skateboard collection. Looks like some downhill & cruiser boards. I still have 2 of my old boards. One is an old G&S FiberFlex park & pool board before boards went to 8 to 10" wide. My other board I made when I was a teenager. It is a take off of the original Alva board, but is a tad bit wider & more full in the kick-tail. It is made from some marine grade plywood covered with 8 oz. fiberglass.
Both boards use Tracker Trucks & Powerflex 5 wheels. I'm guessing that none of these companies still exist these days.

I know, I didn't even know we had all of that floor. I'll get around to pressure washing it come fall or winter. It's 97.5 here right now with a heat index of 109 so i'm not in a rush to get it done.
Yeah I raced downhill for the last few years and recently retired. Still have most of my boards through the years. I still have a bunch in boxes elsewhere, those are just the ones that are set up or were loose. That G&S Fiberflex is probably worth some money if it's still in good condition.
Tracker is still around, the longest cruiser board you see in the picture has Tracker B-52 trucks and I've run Tracker Racetracs and RTX/RTS trucks on a few of my slalom setups too. I'm not sure about Powerflex though.
