THAT didn't last long...

Put guards on as soon as you can and not after a fall or accident.

I hear ya...coming sooner rather than later.
I like riding at night to see the instrument panel all lit up. Mind you, not the tree-lined country roads where the deer and the antelope roam, but the less travelled city roads. Marine drive along the Columbia River is nice this time of year because you don't get plastered by bugs because of the cool temperatures.

I was born in '63, so this seemed an appropriate time to pull over...

Looks like I need to reset the clock after putting on a battery tender...

That little sailboat has been there several months now.

I went seatpad-less this evening, and I was reminded why I bought a couple of them, as it's a bit tight, but not as much as the Street Twin I tried out. Being 6'4" was great playing basketball back in the day, but now I'm a bit envious of the 5'10-6' frame with maybe a 30-31" inseam. Those dimensions would tuck one in nice and snug on this bike with no mods...as it is, I'll likely put on my sw motech bar risers and strap the pads on the bike. I dislike spending good money on after market seats, but the pads can look a bit unsightly.

Portland riders...we should plan an urban midnight ride a few times over the summer.
