    Yea!


    I just checked the weather forecast and a week from Monday the temps will be 50 F. + everyday so I can start riding my motorcycle !

    Motorcycle riding.... the best form of social distancing I can think of.

    I spent today working on my bike .

    Last week i changed the spark plugs, oil change/filter.

    Today i fitted new chain & sprockets, Brake pads, two sets on the front and one on the rear. I took a rear brake disc from my old bike (write off) and fitted it to my current bike. I use HH EBC pads which contain metal parts which eat through the discs but give great performance, hence i have to change the discs every now n then. I also clean and restore the pistons and calipers when i change pads. New pads last me 3 months . Tyres, 4 months..

    That work would take a garage an hour or two..It took me all day. I did wash the bike also and test drove it..
    Were good to go now

    Just woke up an oldie from a long slumber. A friend built it and rode it twice. Traded him out of it.
    '78 PE 250 with total '79 RM suspension. Circle F pipe with FMF ISDT arrestor and Trail Tech computer.
    Everything is fresh. Maybe I will go wake-up the neighborhood in the morning about 9.
    Especially since I know everyone will be home!

    Don't end up on your butt looking at the sky Sharpton, was quite easy to do as I recall...

    Ya, I have a 175 also. Far cry from this thing. That pipe makes them come alive!
    Easy, unintentional wheelie!

    Why wait till 9 am?? Given 'em a 'First Call/Reveille they won't forget!
