Hi all,
Just wanted to say that I think I've finally got passed my flat tire gremlins!
Been putting some miles on..yesterday and today...running errands was a lot of fun today...especially the liquor store! I pull up the same time as a cop...my wife sent me on an errand to get a bottle of Vodka since we're having a small party tomorrow...I walk in...pick up a bottle of Stoli's...pay for it...walk out, and put it in my front bag on the handlebars....all right in front of "Officer Friendly".
Then I put my helmet on...unlocked the bike...wrapped the chain around the post and fired up the bike. I then smiled at the officer...he calls me over. OK...here we go now...
He starts asking me where I got it...and I end up talking with him for about 15 minutes...told me to have a great weekend, then I pulled away with my bottle sticking out (couldn't close the bag all the way!)
Too funny...I don't even drink, but I'm thinking "What if he gives me a sobriety test and I can't do the alphabet backwards?"...wouldn't that suck?
Anyway...the bike is doing great. I put the Dax ball-bearing chain tensioner on. Seems to really get smooth for cruising longer stretches (mile at a time, for example) right around 19-22mph. I probably rode about 10 miles today, and it was fun! The bike will DEFINITELY go a lot faster, but I back off just enough to keep the motor "2-strokin'".
Haven't seen another motor-biker yet.
Cya,
