Well, I had a wonderful Christmas!
Finally got my dream bike and went for a peaceful "face in the wind" cruise. Nothing like your first time!
I must admit, I was sick as a dog with the flu a few days ago when I went to pay for the bike and collect it and the ride home was a bit hairy.
After feeling a bit better, yesterday I went out to tinker with it and found out the tire pressures were way low. The front had 10 lbs and the rear had 20.
No wonder when I was trying to get the bike home for the first time I could barely get the bike through the many round-abouts we have here.
It just felt overly heavy, sluggish and wouldn't turn in properly.
I carefully rode over to the gas station a block away and filled it up with premium gas and put 35 lbs of air in each tire.
What a difference! Feels like a totally different bike now.
Did a little 50 mile ride with some friends and everything feels and sounds nice.
Only had to tighten up the rear license plate bolts when I got home cause they were bugging me with their rattling noises.
All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase and look forward to many more cruises!
