Put a new rear tire on the Wife's bike, then took it for a ride to check eveything out. Put about 40 miles on it, then back home and changed the oil, just motor & filter this time. Then out for another 20 miles, topped it up with gas. Her bike is ready now. Need a couple things to come together, but planning on a road trip next week, good time of year to visit Death Valley.
Got 7,500 miles out of a Metzler 888, replaced it with a Dunlop American Elite. Not bad for a heavy bike with a sidecar.
yesterday was a first for 2021 for me also!! was a pretty short ride though, roads are terrible with all the sand and debris from winter, need a really good hard rain to clean things up!!
