I don’t like the current ones on the market. They’re either too expensive or too ugly. I don’t need something with fancy LED lights since I rarely ride at night anyway.

I’ll be taking my bike out today.

However this is my dilemma. The driveway to the garage looks like this as of yesterday morning.

Great day!

Did some maintenance and then went for a ride:  
Connected the battery  
Changed my oil and filter w/ Mobil1 (love the shift feel with fresh oil!)  
Cleaned and lubed my chain  
Made a temporary license plate holder

From Thatcher:

My ghetto plate holder is just a thick piece of plastic (that fell off the bottom of my car lol) that I cut to a T-shape and then bent. The muffler clamp is holding it up. Zip-ties ftw!

Took the bike out, good day for a ride, I’m a bit rusty my lines were shit & even downed shifted into neutral by mistake while going into a turn. SO embarrassing.
