Today Seth and I went on a leisurely jaunt up the Kings Valley highway and then back through Albany to Corvallis. This was the test ride for my newly rebuilt shocks and improved helmet. Both performed well.
The whole ride was about 81 miles.
Testing out different windshield configurations
Yesterday I went for a quick ride while I was feeling okay (I’ve been sick off and on for the last week and continue to be) to test out different windshield configurations for my PC800. I’m thinking about getting a taller windshield or making or buying a laminar lip shield. Still haven’t decided but it was nice to ride with a taller windshield. Decisions decisions…
Total distance was about 25 miles. I went back and forth along one stretch of road testing out different shield heights several times.
Now my bike is in pieces again as I try to fix the front fork seals. Of course I managed to get a bushing stuck and now I have to wait till next Tuesday for a part I need.
A seal-blowing ride
Yesterday I went on a short ride on The Tardis. When I returned home I found that I had blown out one of my fork seals. The route was fun but now I know why I’ve been having some funny feelings with steering (squishy in the corners) the last few weeks. Parts are already on order.
Total distance was about 48 miles.
