Default my rice crispy bike
My bike was delivered today. I took it for a ride around the neighborhood, just a few miles worth. When I got back into the garage it was popping more than a bowl of rice crispies. I know it was the heat in the pipes but had forgotten just how much they do that.

That should diminish after a few more miles.

Metal expands when hot and contracts when cooling. Pretty cool sound, heh?

The worst part about that sound is it usually means you are done riding.

Still is nice. I always light a smoke, and listen for a minute before heading in.
