A Day At The Track 2

Wow! I am gonna have to do that again soon! What fun!!!

I went to the track with my friends Steve and Murray yesterday (thanks fellas).

Here are some pics from the first couple of sessions.

Ready For A Day At The Track

I’ll be taking the R1 to the track tomorrow.

I gave her fresh oil, flushed the radiator, and replaced the antifreeze with Water Wetter, checked the brake pads, brake fluid, adjusted and lubed the chain, safety wired the oil drain plug and oil filter, pulled the fuses for the lights, removed the mirrors,  taped over the light lenses, and cleaned her up a little .
I may ride like crap, but at least she looks nice!

Thanksgiving Weekend Ride

I had the weekend off, so I spent most of the day Sunday riding SouthEastern San Diego. 
It was a beautiful day: temperatures in the upper 70s; clear skies; clean air; beautiful scenery.

I only took a handful of pictures.
I saw some cool old vintage bikes at Mother’s Kitchen.
And, of course, I took a self-indulgent shot of my R1 atop Mt Palomar.

A photographer was there, and jumped out on my way down the mountain to snap a picture.
It wasn’t a great shot of superior riding ability…but it was me and my bike  🙂
