Nah just 35 40 mph corners, clean open corners, nothing like 25-35 stuffs we have in Ohio. Bike mostly stays up for most of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 R1 safety-wired. New tires ordered, new spring for rear shock will be put on this week. Grom got a new high-flow oil pump, and some 300V. I raced the shit out of it Sunday. Grid size was crazy, I think race 2 was 37 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some places never reopened. Over all it was good, we ate well and of course the roads were amazing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put new street skins on my Strom last week. A Appalachian back road asphalt burn could be just what the doctor ordered. Great Suggestion.

Wahoo Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Installed the Rox risers on the VStrom after dinner tonight. From a quick loop around the neighborhood it feels much better. Hopefully I can get out for a longer ride tomorrow and see how my shoulders feel after a few hours in the saddle. Also, New front tire mounted on the Wing and Coolant flush completed. Looking forward to hitting the road on June 19th. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
