first ride of the season

[cuznjohn]

so at the last minute i decided to put some miles on the bike today. git it started and warmed up, rode it up to the parkway, and jumped on it. at 70 mph the front end started to shake like crazy and i slowed down to 50 to make it stop. i still felt a little shake but had to drive a mile or two so i could get off the parkway. when i got off i found a gas station and put air in the front tires, i figured i would see if that would help. i don't remember the last time i checked them. both tires took some air to reach 18 psi, and after that, all seemed fine.

so the first ride went well after that, and it was fun.

Good reminder to all of us to inspect our Spyders, especially with the weather being so great!

Went for a 500 mile ride Friday and yesterday. Went down to Cuba, MO on Friday and stayed the night at the Wagon Wheel. Yesterday morning I rode Route 66 down to Lebanon, MO before peeling off and heading home. The old Mother Road is getting pretty tired and beat. Not quite as smooth as I remember in years past. Many of the old landmarks are showing their age also. Anyway, I am now up over 1300 miles for the season and looking forward to many more.
