I had a great ride on the XS650SH. Then I did a loop on the XS650SK. All grins. I still have a headache.

Migraines suck...bad. Suffer from them quite often myself (too many years in jet fuel me thinks). Imatrex works wonders...I had a great ride on the XS650SH. Then I did a loop on the XS650SK. All grins. I still have a headache.
Jet fuel. I’ve had more than a little exposure to that. Thanks for the tip.
I've had them since about the age of eight. I rarely have them anymore, thank The Lord, but they are debilitating when they happen.
I get scrambled vision when they come, usually a dull headache follows. I’ve had this one for over a week.
I used to get migraines but I haven't had one in a very long time. I used to have to go to a dark and quiet room with a cold towel over my face. They seemed to stop right after I got a divorce. Hmm cause and effect maybe.
Yeah, I get the scrambled vision too. Happened once 100 miles from home on a group ride.
I had a whole bunch of ailments go away with that. 2nd time around, no stress issues. The headaches have become more frequent since I cleaned up my diet and started regular exercise. I’ve even cut out alcohol to no avail. The issue is probably more from going off the rails than staying straight.
Two great days to ride in a row. Made the mistake yesterday of taking a dirt road I hadn't been on in a couple of years. Wasn't to far on it before it turned to mud and I had to turn around. First stop today was a car wash to rinse off all the crud. Turning cold again here for the next week so it's warm enough in the garage to get some work done.
Wales has had a few days of nice unusually warm weather. Time to start tending the garden unfortunately (I hate gardening!).
Weekend is turning colder again, no doubt with some rain to come; Its Blighty afterall!

I like flower gardening and tolerate veggie gardening. I have some stuff on order to reset one large flowerbed with (theoretically) deer-resistant perennials and I notice Deep Homo has mulch on sale. Rain all day today, but tomorrow looks pretty decent, I'll likely run to town and get a few things in preparation for The Season.
Taking a short break from mowing the lawns for a few minutes. Rain tomorrow again so needs must!
Sunny and 70's today!
So warm even the NORTON started!
Tried to ride the TX650 but left cylinder wasn't feeling it.

forecast is rain tomorrow, snow by Sunday evening.

My forecast is damaging hail, possibly tornadoes. It’s another giant weather system.

But first;
I did get the TX going but a 1/4 mile later it was all "Just Kidding".
One Easter Egg isn't like the others.
It's Madness!

Got my first good ride with this bike that wasn’t a commute. Very fun 50 mile ride on mixed surface roads in the backroad areas where I live. Bike did great. Seems the right cylinder still has the tiniest air leak I can hear but it doesn’t seem to be affecting anything majorly so I think I’ll leave it be and deal with that over the winter. 69-72 degrees. Speed average 45 max I got recorded was 85 not bad
