I see you have been getting your share of Ice & Cold this year. Was surprised to just look up the weather for OK and see you are back below freezing with wetness once again. Now you know how the folks in Canada feel .............Originally posted by BA80 View PostI want to ride somewhere.
I rode 25 miles on some errands today. T'was 65ish today. Got to put my new SS brake lines to the test when all six lanes westbound on I-285 checked up from 75 mph to 0 in a few nano-seconds. Outcome would have not been so good with the old rubber balloon lines. Actually the stopping performance was fairly impressive I thought. My first reaction was oh crap when I saw everybody stopping quickly, but the 11E binders worked fine. No stoppie, but shut down with margin to spare. Plan to take off in the morning for nice ride. 70 degrees here. You should be getting a nice warm up again soon. Then you can ride, but of course that will be when you have to be at work.

It was mid 50s today. I spent it working on carbs, but if it stays dry tomorrow I may get a few miles in.
