Well, the Sun did alot of motorcycle riders a favor today. The high today was 61 here in the Charlotte area.
So I woke up early todo some HW and then took off for a ride in the local area around lunch time, till about 4:30 this afternoon.
I cant even begin to tell you what roads I went on. All I know is somehow I took back roads that I have never been on, almost to me house in Lexington!
Round trip I got about 165 miles on the clock today
Here are a few pics for the ride.
I was hunting a FZ in the bush, mate!
Ok so then I kept on and randomly I ended up knowing where I was! Which was "Ghost Hill" Where the story is that if you put your car or vehical in neutral and let off the brake, some lady that was killed there many years ago, will push your car down the road.
Well really it is just an optical illusion.
The youth of the area has turned it into a graffiti play ground on the hill. Writing various messages and drawing random pictures. Now most of them aren't the cleanest words or pictures, but w/e.
Disclaimer: I dont support or condone any messages you might find in the images.
This was the first ride using the new tank bag and the 15wt fork oil and bearings greased.
WOW!
I never noticed the bag there, if when I was pushing it in a couple random corners I found.
It was like riding a whole new bike. The front end didnt dive like it used to, nor did it bottom. The ride was a bit more firm, but its worth it!
Overall, I am happy with the mod's that I did over the break! Now I can't wait to put some more miles on it!
