Someone real special spent some of last week with me. Because of this, I decided to mass check all my vehicles!
Everything runs and rides in this trio.
The CBR seems like it has a vac leak. The vac system on this thing is legit frightening so I will take it to a dealer for that.
TDI still boost leaks, nothing wrong with the garage queen 453. I’ve narrowed the boost leak culprit likely being the intercooler pipe and an elbow pipe. I feel the boost will be fixed soon!
The garage queen 450 runs and drives, but needs a new battery. The one it has (from 2009!) is finally shot.
Ordered an alternator for the Gambler smart. It can’t be driven very far until it can charge its own battery.
Almost took the TDI offroading on Valentine’s Day weekend.
Glad I didn’t. We exploded a Suzuki’s front diff on foot thick ice out there!
The Spree is enjoying its warm accommodations.
The other bikes are sitting cozy in a neighbour’s garage.
My plan to pick up a beater Bug to teach Miss Beetle how to drive in and Gamble with is still a thing, but delayed into Smarch.
Speaking of Miss Beetle..
Thank you for consistently being the wonderful delight that puts a smile on my face every day. Co-Pilots in adventure until the end of time, love ya babe! <3

I must have missed that one. How long have you had the Honda?
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

I’ve had it since January 2019! It was restored by the PO after the owner before him laid it down. It’s l owered an inch to accommodate a smaller woma n rider . Didn’t get to ride it too much last year as I spent most of my time doing Gambler 500 stuff.

And very minty! The PO basically had a Honda dealer restore it so the bike’s both spotless and almost looks like it rolled off a dealership floor.

It’s perfectly clean. That might be the prime Radwood chariot.

Oh snap, the TDI has dethroned it from daily duty.

It has! I’ve put 7k miles on the TDI since picking it up at the end of November. I’ve been wanting to give my smartie a break from all the things I put it through, never thought that car would end up being a VW!

I feel like a Chicago area one could attract some very choice machinery.
