I feel somewhat let down. Only one UD showed up. But he's the boss and he says he'll get all 5 planted in 1.5 hours. A one man wrecking crew!
edit - Christ - he already has that first tree planted!

There is some brake dive, so will look into front and rear suspension next winter along with fresh tires. Might as well replace front wheel bearings also since it is almost 20 years old.
I'll pass 22,000 miles on the odometer on the way home this weekend. So far it looks like the $6000 I paid was ok.
You from Apex Scott? We have good friends there. The Armfields.
PS - riding position can be altered with seats. It can make all the difference in the world. A seat that sets you back somewhat can stretch the legs out some. You may have to adjust the bars a bit to compensate.

Hey Scott! Sounds like a fun bike. I love the RKs.
O’ did I mention, I left my phone on the bed rail of my truck, ten miles down the expressway from where we started?. Used find my phone app to locate it on the on ramp , turned around went back and found it 🤓
That phone is running out of lives faster than Nacho.
Damn Chuck! Glad you got your phone back. I know what you mean about Atlanta, the roads around that city are horrendous. Georgia used to have good roads but I think the responsible party is shifting there. Smooth roads seem not to be a priority.
My wife and I lived in Apex the first year of our marriage on Olive Chapel Road. Nice area for sure and "the peak of good living". We went back through there and it had really grown.
And yet another con in the pro Vs con reasons to live in this communist state called Connecticut.
No open carry after July 1st 2023. AND ownership of any firearms must be locked and safe whether you have kids or not.
Hang on a sec burglar, I have something for ya. Just a sec now, you just wait on the sofa I’ll fix you right up.
