bryan52577 Posted May 18, 2011 #1 Posted May 18, 2011 Took the bike in and had it serviced and a new Dun-lop E-3 put on the rear. It was done and, well, it was sunny, and hardly any wind, and, well I called in and took a day of vacation, and well, went riding! I went through 2 tanks of gas for a total of 452 miles. (Most I was able to get in was 4.87 gal at 231 miles, hit reserve at 201, I think, darn gauge resets and does it's count down.) Went no particular place, for no particular reason. Just me and the bike........... WOW, WHAT FUN I HAD!!! :sign woo hoo: :sign woo hoo: Sorry had to,,, rub it in,,, I mean ,, um ,, vent. Yeah that's it, VENT! Bryan

SilvrT Posted May 18, 2011 #4 Posted May 18, 2011 Heck, this time of year I regularly take days off to go riding as what nice weather we do get doesn't always happen on the weekend. Yesterday was fairly nice, today even nicer, and tomorrow and Friday, nothing but sun and warm temps .... but guess what?? .... long weekend coming up and the weather man says it's all going downhill and we're in for rain again!! :crying: Maybe I should take tomorrow and Friday off??

Jayceesfolly Posted May 19, 2011 #6 Posted May 19, 2011 I understand the urge to ride, we finally have nice weather here in western NY, and it is time to ride. I just decided last week to semi-retire. I am only going to work two days a week. I have two bikes and both are down. The 83 VR has a bad CMU in it, and the 89 VR (that Earl resurrected) is taken apart to be painted. It is going to be Lavender Pearlessence with pinstripping. So, now I will have plenty of time to get both back together and ride them this summer. Jim

I rode over to Iowa City yesterday and had a beautiful ride. I didn't even mind the detour on highway 6. I wish I could do the ride this weekend but we have races.
