Winter seems to last forever in Ottawa but it was warm enough today to get the Concours our on the road.

Acceleration and cornering is a thrill all over again, after taking the bus all winter.

This was supposed to happen about a week ago, but as I was giving the old battery its final charge before going back into the bike, it died on the workbench. Started reading 10.65 volts. Seven years so can't complain, and the new replacement is working fine. One purpose of the SV650S is to fetch a new battery for the Concours.
