Happy New Years to all of us here on the forum

Sadly no drive or startup for me today. I’m just not prepared to rush it as I’ve got a number of small things I want to do first. But 2020 is the year of the Wire-3 going back on the road after a long long time.

Guys,

It was a blustery 1'C here in Cherry Valley.

Wishing all a great New Year, in particular I can only hope that conditions improve for all the people of Australia with their current ordeal.

Peter

Happy New Year from Howe Island Ontario

Took work's Land Rover Wolf around the farm to check the corn and then took the Kawasaki KLR 250 for a ride from ferry to ferry on the island.

When I went to put the bike away it disgraced itself by pissing it's fuel out even though the fuel tap was put in the off position. A real fault on these machines, had to hand bomb the fuel out. That is the third fuel tap in 3 years.

My thanks to Phil Waterman for starting the challenge.

I did drive the blitz yesterday afternoon to pick up all the outdoor furniture and park it in the shed. Still putting in fire brakes and hoping for the best. A lot of friends have lost everything where I used to live. Have been told Mum's old house is gone but mine is still there so can be used for emergency accommodation.

Default Happy New Year from the Barn......

Weather was very mild this year hovering around 0 Celsius with a fresh coat of snow overnight with barely 8 inches on the ground. Being very wet sticky snow 2 wheel drive was useless with wheels spinning on ground. Best was 4x4 in low range. No challenge busting through deep snow this year.

All the Best for the New Year to All MLU members and their family.....and some rain for Australia.

Grant, Rob and myself.

Default Burnaby snow

Actually we usually get a token day of snow every year, last year and this have been a little different. The new Years day video however was too nice, but not that commen this time of year.
Last year 2 of my neighbours did not make that turn and spun all the way to the bottom taking out a telephone pole. The fire truck then lost it and crashed into the wall. Slicker than homeless crap as we say.
