Ride Reports suck.
Oh, whaaaaah. Here we go...
I'm sorry. Did my words offend you? I can send you a Hurt Feelings Report.

Well I removed the clutch plates and cleaned everything, put a good coat of oil on everything and reinstalled. Bike shifts silky smooth now. I was surprised at how dry the plates were, especially towards the motor. Thanks to everyone for the advice.

...In couple of years when I retire I'm moving south so I wont have to deal with a no ride season.

It looks like it will be NE Arkansas. My parents are getting on a bit and I would like to be closer. Will still have an off season, but I might snowbird a little farter south.

You don't have to go far from NE Arkansas to hit the "no snow" line.

Mountain View/Allison area looks awesome!
