Eric and I went on a ride over Lewisburg Saddle and out through Kings Valley last week. His rebuilt 400cc Honda performed admirably. I took it for a spin and found it to be a fun little bike to blast around on. A few more small fixes and Eric will have a great machine to see him through his first year or two of riding.
I went on a quick 50 mile ride up and over Lewisburg Saddle and through Kings Valley with my new and improved higher handlebars. The bars are AWESOME. I don’t know why I waited so long to get them and put them on my bike. I still have an airhorn to install on the bike and need to decide if I’m getting highway pegs or not but it’s just about completely outfitted the way I want it. Oh yeah, still need to trade Art in Redding for a taller windshield and find a rear rack.
This evening I took the motorcycle out for a quick blast around Lewisburg Saddle and Kings Valley. It was nice to be out and riding. I scraped my pegs a couple of times on some tight corners at high speeds. 🙂
Total distance: about 50 miles.
Also should note I put my ADV sticker on the back of my motorcycle 🙂
Gas purchase: 2.08 gallons @93.4 miles for 44.9 mpg (probably low because of going up Mary’s Peak and carrying Emily as a passenger).
