Happy Valentine’s Day!
What to get for the Valentines in RIDE-CT.com’s life? Some hard bags for the Suzuki V-Strom 650 would be nice. Getting the gas tank in the Honda CB750 Four sealed would be beneficial. Deducing the electrical problem in the vintage Triumph T100R and getting it back on the road would be a help, too.
A better gift for the bikes in the garage? Writing the checks and sending in the registration renewals.
