Ride Report: On my own

Sunday 24 May 2015, Memorial Day Weekend.  I just had to ride.  Since it was a holiday weekend, I didn't bother checking with anyone else to see if they were riding.  I got off to a bit of a late start but didn't have plans to go too far anyway.

Cruzman texted me early in the week asking if I wanted to

ride on Sunday.  I said heck yeah since I was already considering a solo ride for the weekend.  Earlier in the week I installed a power port for just for the gps.  A couple of weeks ago, I finally put the crash bars and rider pegs on.  They're not pretty but they work well.

Ride Report: EOW Rally Day 2

Monday, March 17, 2015: Inaugural Blairsville of Winter Rally Day 2.

We planned an earlier start for Day 2, leaving around 8:30 to ride Hwy 68, the Cherohala Skyway, the Tail of the Dragon, and Hwy 28. The early start time meant riding in temps below 50 degrees and using the liners again.  Since I was wearing blue jeans beneath the riding pants, I didn't they needed the pant liner.  My goal for the day was to be smooth on the bike and to take more pics.

Ride Report: End of Winter Blairsville Rally

15-17 March 2015: Inaugural Blairsville End of Winter Rally.

As soon as I got home from my hour long test ride after installing the Danmoto.com rearsets, I told Cruzman I needed a much longer test to truly get a feel for them. I suggested an overnighter instead of the day ride we had scheduled. Before the weekend, he was asking where we were staying, when we were meeting, what roads we'd be riding.

FZ1 Mod: Rearsets

One thing leads to another.  Since I upgraded my suspension, I've noticed how much more aggressive I've become in curves.  That aggressiveness comes from greater confidence in the feel of the bike and leads to scraping toes and/or hard parts.
