One of my good pastor friends has a Church there...He says

the view is God-Inspirirng...which equals "wholly" great

twisties!!!! How

was the traffic..probably a relief from the place you live? Mike

said you changed chains recently...how many miles did you get

on the Bandit before ya changed? I have never had a chain bike

for the street... a-lot better for 1st gear at a stop but I wear

boots with strings and I worry about chain interference... any

Bandit advise you want to send my way is appreciated.

Chain lasted about 12K on Bandit and 13K on Triumph, Triumph chain was worn nice and even (no tight or loose spots) but the Bandit chain was pretty crappy. I am usually doing wheelies and fast launches on the Bandit, hence the uneven wear I suppose. I am going to order a couple of Scott-oilers this winter for those bikes. Guys who have them report lasting over 30K miles with only a couple of adjustments.

Traffic where I live is about the same as Cherokee, there were a lot of leaf peepers out there now and traffic was pretty bad.

Bandit advice? Never do a wheelie with out covering your rear brake.....bike can flip right over !!
