Hello from PNW

Another membership due to an online search on tires (tyres for the Brits/Canucks).

I couldn't remember the correct tire pressure for SportTec M1s ... .... so off I went looking online.

Between getting the tire pressure info, lubing the chain, and checking the rest of the bike over, I took just as long as prepping the bike as riding it. Definitely paid the price for leaving the bike standing in the garage for so long.

After a few shorts (and a quick TY for the trickle charger), I was off

100 miles of twisty highway later ... all's well ... especially since the gas station appeared at exactly the right moment!

Nah, I only use the bike on the street ... and even then not for commuting. The long wheelbase is great for cruising but not for a lot of tight turns and stop n go traffic

Re: Hello from PNW

3 great nations divided by a common language?! I'm a Brit who's lived in PNW for over a decade. Hubby is a Canuck so I often muddle up tire/tyre, center/centre, color/colour, etc. Use of le francais just makes it worse
