today i rode to the End of the World !!

and then back.......................

 

Green eyes and good with wrenches.... Ooh...

I guess I never realized that **** took so much torque. I thought it was designed to be adjusted by hand! Never owned one with it, so pardon ignorance.

 

It's probably just fine for everyone else, I just have an issue with it's placement. That and Fibromyalgia robbed me of my grip strength.
It's an awkward position to repeatedly twist the **** in, and it's a very fine adjustment **** so it spins a lot to get from minimum preload where I ride solo, to maximum where I ride anytime I'm 2 up.
This lets me just ratchet it, and it makes life so much easier.
I do need to mark the **** at the zero point though. I still haven't done that.

HA FOUND IT!
I was smoking weed when I saw this post and I legitimately was wondering if I was hallucinating this place.
But no it's a real place. That's pretty freakin weird. Who on earth did this? And what does it even mean?
That's really fascinating.

 

Got the new rear tire on. Ready to see how many miles I get out of the shinko 999

 

Nice rip this morning, time for yard work. But my main tool for yard work is beer so I got that going for me.

 

Me too

 

141 miles today.

 

So far, so good. Did a couple late night runs to Downtown Dallas over the weekend and got about 500 miles on it to break it in. Tire feels good and has enough grip. Time will tell. I actually feel the like the sidewall is thicker on the Shinko. I felt more flex out of the Dunlop Harley Rear. The shinko gives a more stable ride.

I rode crotch rockets for about 14 years before I got into Harley. So feeling the bikes feedback and response are crucial to me.

Now I need to get a new front. I got about 15,000 out of the Harley Dunlop Front.

 

Great video. Good music too, who was that?
