For a few weeks now, I have been posting regular updates about my efforts to lose significant weight. Apart from the obvious health benefits, I am hoping to make riding my motorcycle easier. At the moment, I find it uncomfortable to ride for more than a couple of hours, and I need frequent stops when riding for any longer than about an hour. If you are interested in following along with my progress, I am posting weekly every Tuesday, and all the videos can be found in the Too Fat Tuesday Redux playlist.

This coming weekend, I will be making my annual pilgrimage to Martin Moto in Boyertown, Pennsylvania to hang out at their Modern Classics Ride-In event, possibly followed by a group ride with my riding buddies. Then I will be returning there to get an X-pipe installed.

Good news! I was able to get out for my first ride of 2026 this past weekend. It was a pleasurable group ride that started in Pennsylvania's Chester County and wound its way through Montgomery County and into Bucks County, before coming back into Phoenixville for a spot of lunch. I recorded some of the ride, and you will be able to see parts of it over the next few weekends in Raw Sound Sunday videos.

Yes, yes, I know. 2025 was a terrible riding year for me. I hardly got out at all because I had a broken seat for much of the year and I had trouble getting it welded. It was so bad, I basically stopped making videos at the end of the summer.

Will 2026 be better? I really can't say. I want to ride more, especially with my riding buddies, but life has a habit of getting in the way of the simple pleasures, doesn't it? With a bit of luck, I can get a few good rides in and make a few videos.

But don't hold your breath!
