Default Finally!

Finally got my first ride of the year in today here in Nebraska. Temps in the mid 50's. Roads were a little wet in spots due to melting snow, had to watch the sand on the side streets, but it was GREAT! Only about 80 miles bit I was wearing a smile the whole way.

Hi 1965, I just put my RKCustom on the streets a few days ago. When I took her off the batt-tender I checked air in tires, oil, dusted it off, and put some leather dressing onthe saddlebags. Check your bike out befor any long rides, be safe and keep it in the wind

Glad to hear you got a few miles on the bike today. Looking forward to when I can hit the road again with the scoot. Messed up my ankle 6 weeks ago so no riding for me. []

Yeah, it was nice! I checked the bike out pretty good before I took her out. Both tires were down to about 30 and needed a squirt of air, other than that she was in good shape and ran like a charm.
