'tis a very cool photo Ferret, and while I'm sure it's more majestic live, the cloud line in the photo is sweet.

Did you get rid of some e-gizmos, or you keep'em all?

[the Ferret]

No pb, its just as I bought it, other than messing with the myriad of rear suspension adjustments which dont seem to make a whole lot of difference to me???

Did a few things today. I’m quite bummed that Lidlox went out of business. I like their bar-end helmet locks, and have them on each of my bikes. They are keyed alike so I just need to carry one key whichever bike I’m riding.

I had a leftover lock but didn’t have a spare housing to put the lock in to mount on Superbird’s handlebar (my NC750X)

I scanned EBay and found a similar kit that’s a knock-off of the Lidlox. I bought one and gambled that my lock cylinder that matches my others would screw into the aluminum housing on the EBay model.

It did screw right in, so now I have a bar-end helmet mount on all four bikes and still just need one key. 

Also, since Saturday is my birthday, I headed to Santa Ana to pick up part of my favorite traditional birthday dinner. I love tamales and chorizo sausage, so I headed to Ochoa’s Chorizo on the Triumph to pick up a length of their famous jalapeño style. Yummy! 

As a side note, Ochoa’s is near Main and Warner and is next door to All American Racers, Dan Gurney’s race car factory and development center. Wonder if he ever bought chorizo there back in his day?

Ok, about that... I was going to put Rlets on Superbird. But, I put hand guards on it, so I figured that would negate any energy coming off of the Rlets. 

However, thinking about it, I must need some positive energy with this bike. I have a few nicks on one of the silver side fairings, which I have researched to be Honda color code NH95M, Blade Silver. I ordered a can from a reputable supplier, and the paint in the can was dark blue. After contacting them and getting an apology, they promptly sent out a replacement can, which arrived today. Guess what color was in the can, labelled Blade Silver?

I did get the bike out for a nice ride yesterday. After running some errands, I headed into Santiago Canyon. After our torrential holiday rains, everything is nice and green, which for January, is unusual, but a welcome sight.

I really like the silver wheels

Well Gone, Thats what happens when you diss the RLETs!

That company probably has a hundred cases of mis-labeled paint now. Hope you let them know so others won’t get the wrong paint.

Hummm, maybe order some blue paint and might get silver

I got a reply from their rep saying he personally mixed the batch of paint and has no idea why it’s blue not silver. Maybe it’s magically changing inside the cans.
