Yes I would say you are very close if not spot on. 67-68 ? It has the headlight covers that matched the grill. Maybe 68. I will ask the owner next time I pass that way.

I’ve only ever seen a handful of Cougars and that’s certainly the first vert.

Of the 100,069 Cougars built for 1969, roughly 9,800 were convertibles, and just 4,024 of those were high-zoot XR-7 soft-tops.

This is weird right? I now have an unplugged alternative to my Vado. Still love the Vado but wanted something more ”grab and go”
I now have developed a special interest for tailwind.

Another 95 km in the scorching heat. I discovered a sunburn the size of a golf ball on the top of my head where the grass don't grow no more. Solution = add duct tape over the centre hole of both helmets. The way things are progressing by this time next year I will likely have to tape all the holes (-:

NIce bike PaD. Where have you been for so long?

 

[Saratoga Dave]

Nice bike, PaD! Do I see SRAM Apex shifting there? I really like that set.

I have taken to using zip ties to attach a terry cloth flap to the back of the rear band on helmets to cover my neck. Otherwise it gets a direct hit from the sun.

Thank you, yes it’s Apex. This is all new to me but shifting seems to work just fine. I would have liked adjustable reach for the levers but it’s ok.

Thank you Steve. I think I’ve been on the couch all the time but that’s not true as I have been trying to stay in shape by regulars walks. I have been riding my Vado this spring but not out in the countryside as I want to and I haven’t felt I’ve had anything for the forum.
The whole pandemic situation has held me back but things gonna change
I hope to do more electric rides this summer with a friend who has got an ebike and report to you guys.
The new unplugged bike will be for excercise and rides with another friend who rides only non electric.
Edit
I want to emphasize that I still think ebikes are great for a lot of people, just about anybody, to get out and and have fun and get some exercise. Something that might not have happened without en ebike.

It will be 43 / 109.4 degrees here today so I will pass on the Ebiking. This is abnormal weather for the pacific northwet. My garden is hanging tough so far but it is full of shade loving plants.

Had a Facetime “Happy Hour“ with some friends in Bellingham and they were talking about their sprinklers. I thought they meant their yard but they meant hand watering system for their patio plants. When I lived in the Tri-Cities we lived with a daily automatic sprinkler system all through the lawn growing season.

Where did you live Dallant ?

 

[Dallant]

Richland and then Kennewick.

 

[Art Deco]

In an Atlanta suburb where I lived, people either had grass and sprinklers, or bare red baked clay.

Good for you Foofer...I will set off at daybreak tomorrow and be home by noon.

 

[Sierratim]

Back to Northern California for the Summer. On my first ebike ride around town I saw another what is it;;

What's going on with this motorcycle? Wings, a prop cover? What the heck?

TriCities is expecting to hit 117F tomorrow.
