So this weekend I had two new experiences with the FZ, both of which were enjoyable and successful endeavors.
For the first time my girlfriend decided to get on the back of my bike. We rode two up out to Jones Beach for the air show and it was awesome. I think she had her eyes closed a lot of the time, but she said she enjoyed it and will do it again. I like riding two up and the bike handled it great. Little more unstable at low speeds, but at cruising speed and in the corners it was predictable and confident.
Today I realized I was due for a chain clean and lube and noticed I was out of the little container of cleaner that came with my grunge brush kit. So, I went with the old tried and trued method of using kerosene and it worked great. I poured some kerosene into a little bowl and used an old pant brush to liberally apply it to the chain. Then thoroughly scrubbed with the grunge brush, wiped clean, and when I was all done applied my Maxima Chain Wax. Came out great and the chain looks new.
Overall a great Memorial Day weekend with some new experiences to add to the list!
