Default A good long (pre spring) motor bicycle ride!

After many weeks of no usage, I took the chain off took a link out, tightened it up. The beast started easy and warmed up slow. I put my helmet on and rode.

Great!!!!!!!!!!

Weather was beautiful here today.. 60 degrees, so I took my Titan out for a run. Started right up.. Smooth and fast... Loads of fun. Tomorrow they are talking 70 degrees !!! Wow !!! I will be riding again tomorrow. Maybe I will try out my Tony Hawk Helmet Cam.. Enjoy the ride.. I sure did today...And will again tomorrow.

Yeah the longest ride ever. Chain didn't stretch anymore. Engine seems to be finding a groove.

Where do you live? We had a nice warm day, quite odd for a leap day! Then it got swirly windy really quick and started raining hard!!

We're supposed to get up to 75 tommorrow. BUT!!!! We are suppposed to be windy with gusts over 40 mph. That'll take a lot of the fun out of it. So probably won't ride much. Maybe I can do a video for Norman and maybe we can work on my airplane. Summer come on I'm ready.........................

If my motor skills are highlighted in my bike, I hope I never leave the ground in ANYTHING i work on. Matter of fact I can guarantee you I won't be leaving the ground intentionally on anything I work on.

Aww come on you only die once might as well go with a bang! Make the rest left behind clean up a nasty mess. I like to get high. about 10,000 ft is good, sometimes to 15,000 ft. So I don't smote the mountians.

Weird - after this post is when the carb must have taken the big crap or I was oblivious....because I just rode basically the same route (actually longer with bigger hills) and the bike went like a raped ape. Wow - much smoother and real throttle response.....I seem to be coaxing mucho poweramundo out of this little beast. Can't wait for more mods!!

Look it up my bike and beer loving buds: coaxing - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

So anyways, the foot is better obviously. Tomorrow I will pack the old carb up for that Darth Norman guy.

PS OK It's been almost a week since I rode. Can you tell?
