First ride of "spring" - rboe - 03-18-2019
A couple guys from work took time off so I met them in Fountain Hills. Rode to Payson, topped off the tanks then headed to Clint's Well (the back way to Winslrfow Arizona or Flagstaff depending on whether you go straight or hang a left at Clint's Well).
Well the cafe at Clint's Well was closed on Mondays (and Tuesdays and Wednesdays!) so we motored over to Camp Verde via 260 - had to backtrack 13 miles to hit 260. Still lots of snow in the high country!
After filling up on Mexican in Camp Verde I headed straight home to let the puppy out while Frank and Larry were going to scoot over to Cottonwood then take 89a to Jerome and Prescott. Should have been a fun ride.
I took the 2014 CB1100, dang what a nice bike. However; I desperately need to lower the pegs. I think the Seth Lamm seat needs to be upgraded to a Russell Day Long. Those two items are not cutting it when the rides get "longer".
I just installed Pirelli GT's to replace the stock sneakers - I think I like them a wee bit better than the Road Pilot 3's on the 2013.

Had a little spring ride today, mild temperatures, bright sky, blooming trees, curvy roads, nice environment. That's a reason to live.

With the Vario foot pegs from Germany you can adjust the pegs to you liking. High quality pegs.
