Default First ride
Got out today for the first time. Those E3's and dynabeads are freaking awesome. Lost a damn caliper cover though. $15 for a new one. WTF. Oh well, gotta order one. Going back in the primary too, put the SOHB wedge on today and something isn't sounding right. TTFN

You gotta love that first ride of the season. Mine was last week. But I've ridden the last three days here. It was gorgeous yesterday. Spring is right around the corner Dawg, and we're going to be out killin' some serious bugs!

55 degrees here in Denver, so I'm probably going to head out for a short ride in an hour after I finish work for the day (full time telecommuter )

Watcha think is going on in the primary? It's plug and play as you know so I'd be interested in hearing WTF you left out/off. LOL!! Seriously, hope it's nothing serious and let us know.
