Can't do the cold . . .

 

Little ride around the lake about sundown.

 

Perfect time to set out with a cold one and a rod and reel hoping the fish don't bother you.

 

Pillion looks great with the saddlebags @brown mouse , looking to have the new mount finished soon to mount my original seat as pillion.
Great photos

Beautiful part of the world Mercury Bay

 

Stars shine cold and bright
The indolent morning lingers slight
Stone cold wall of darkness wanes.
Hidden pockets of night remains.

Driving in, black road, taciturn.
Feel the wind, now does it burn.
Blinded by trucks that do not dim.
Grinding forward, the cold seeps in.

Triple firing jumps ahead.
A black collision I truly dread.
Feeble tunnel of narrow path
The other drivers must think I’m daft.

The sky a mixture of deep blue and gray
Darkness stubbornly holding back the day.
Factory rises, place of pain.
Work I must, to collect my gain.

Days are numbered before the snow
Into the car then I must go.
Bikes will rest their feet up high
Covered in canvas until spring is nigh

 

I agree with Dartplayer, brown mouse. The bike's looking good and I enjoyed the photos. And I just noticed the brown mouse on the seat in your first photo.

 

Nice, Hobnail! I enjoy reading your poetry. Thanks for sharing it with us.

But I do have to say that the last part of your poem (what is that called in poetry language?) about numbered days is a huge part of why I'm glad I live in Arizona as a motorcyclist and not my home state of Minnesota. No winterizing the bikes!

 

Northern end of Mercury Bay, Ohuka beach

 

Beautiful, @Dartplayer! And only 113 miles from your house, right? You are lucky to have such a beautiful body of WATER so nearby! Our nearest body of water is the currently stagnant fountain (broken pump) in our backyard.

 

Just ran the Memsahib into work in Durham this morning... only about 25 mile round trip... sheeesh it's cold out there even with the heated grips on....

frost on the road too.....had a white Audi hassling me round the twisties up from Brancepeth.... was just taking them gently because of the frost (and a brand new front tyre) .... wherever you go there's an arsehole in a car

 

Feckin freezing here this morning
So because I haven’t been using my TWAT since I got it home I thought I’d better put the battery tender on for a couple of days

 

always a good plan when the weather turns cold... really knocks the ooomph out of the battery
