Wheels are off and had new tires put on earlier today. Need to slap the wheels back on and do the brakes once I get off work. 20180515_234938 by D Hunley, on Flickr
I'm always blown away by how great new tires feel. These are the first sport touring tires that I've tried. Metzeler Roadtec Z6. 20180517_103208 by D Hunley, on Flickr 20180517_103236 by D Hunley, on Flickr
Going back to work tomorrow and the weather is finally breaking after a week of rain. Had to top the old girl off for our first commute together.
installed r&g frame, fork, swing arm, engine sliders and pit bull spools last weekend. then rode about 23 miles for the first time out just after sunrise today...i love that analog tach...last of it's breed probably.
i did a loop in liberty state park with a buddy early this morning. ...then headed up to harriman state park solo to put in some more break-in miles.
thanks! truth be told i'm a slow poke when it comes to toys with engines nowadays...i prefer to do the crazy stuff on a mountain bike - easier on the wallet! i want to attend the california superbike school next year though where they use s1000 rr so i should have a leg up. heading anywhere near the nyc area? the roads up bear mountain/west point area is beautiful especially in the fall.
ha! that reminds me i think i want a honda ruckus (scooter - so the rest of my family can ride it) or a grom next.
