FINALLY! Spring has never been this late, but today at last I got a Labour Day ride in summer temperatures and full on sun, ahhhhh. Kept it super-smooth due to the new tires, but they seem promising. Same goes for the Suzuki shift lever conversion and the new grips. Not so sure about the brake...
Bloody nowhere! I's still blow zero (centigrades) and random thick ice mixed with loads of gravel on the roads. Riding still months away, abstinence is growing...
What a congregation, cool! I've seen two more live here in Sweden so far, but not close enough to "mate up".
By the way, freezing here today, might not ride anywhere at all for 4-5 months...
I've got a cheap pair sitting inside of the controls. I've never ridden any bike with ordinary mirrors where I've seen anything than my upper arms... This is the best solution I've ever had, I get a clear view under my arms, and they just about clear the "tank". The only drawback is You've got...
How can riding a Husky be a sin? I've got one of its smaller brothers, great fun for its size, but waiting for my daughter to get her license so I can upgrade to a 701.
The usual loop southbound, with some new (on motorbike) stretches. Whoaa, promising:
And here's what it looked like:
Road sometimes a bit too narrow, sometimes a bit poor sight of what's to come, and nothing close to the never-ending curves (or vistas) in more mountaineous areas of our...
A perfect midsummer's ride through Södertörn to Skanssundet, in perfect summer weather (for being Sweden) and almost empty roads, with a poor excuse for an icecream as icing on the cake.
Cool!
Thanks for the encouragement! I was aiming at using a vice and an adjustable spanner (Swedish invention I believe), if I can get a good grip at the lever at the "knob side". Otherwise I'll dig out some other type of wrench/pliars, my father in law was sheet metal worker, and I've nicked...
Hope You didn't take it as an insult, it wasn't! Just jealous of Your matter-of-factness and practicallity, I might over-think stuff sometimes. And sometimes not...
@Breto, You're so un-sentimental! I've had aluminium stuff snap on me before, so I'm a bit hesitant (when not having a replacement lever easily at hand). Maybe i give it a go this weekend. Suppose it'll help to heat it up a bit.
On a stressfull day, I managed to drop the bike to the right when shuffling it around in my too small garage. Touched my workbench with the front wheel sothe balance shifed evr so slightly, but my 75 kg couldn't stop the fall so it went down slooowly... What a dumb-a** I am!
Luckily, the only...
