FZ1 Mod: New Handlebars, Again.

14 August 2020

I finally installed the new handlebars I got last year during the annual 11.11 sale they they have on Aliexpress.com.  It took so long because in my excitement of finding a reasonably priced bar, I forgot all about making sure it had threaded ends.  Oops!

Maintenance: Tire Change Time Again!

23 July 2020 In the time of a pandemic...

I was excited to learn we were going to have our rally, pandemic or not.  This time I didn't need to do much to the bike to be ready, just change the tires.  I had them in plenty of time for the rally but I didn't know where to go to put them on.  Cruzman said we could do it at his house so that's where I went.

Rear Rack, Plan C

A couple of years ago, a tree limb fell the house I was renting.  Landlords sent people to remove it and, I assume, make sure there was no real damage to their house.  When I got home, I noticed that Baby didn't look right.  Turns out they dropped the limb on my bike!

Update: Nothing much going on

Today I bled my front brakes and realized it's been too long since I've come back here and posted anything.  I have been working for the last two and a half years and have not had nearly enough time to ride.  I remember when I got the part time job I thought it would mean I'd be riding more...uh no.

Meet Curtis, Baby's new TV

Back in late January when we had a cold snap, I killed my 1998 Ford Explorer Sport with the difficult to find 5sp manual transmission.
